  Watched the Tour de France on Sunday in London. There were a lot of French Gendarmes on motor cycles as well as London cops. Without going all "oooh Maureen" and all, I thought the Gendarmes would win any "je ne sais quoi" competition with their tight strides, knee high boots and blue shirts

• Tescos Synthetic Oil 26 Dec 2006 (Forum)

  Hiya. I'd like to address an annoyance in the above car, which showed up during tour of France some while ago.
