Great Grape Robbery - Criminal overtime......!

Image
I wanted to tell you about this yesterday, but I had a few misgivings, and thought it may be better to await developements - but there haven't been any, as yet! Now, I've heard about overtime being forced onto people - Police, Nurses, Doctors and more - in a vaguely criminal manner, but this beats the lot, and is so ingenious that the mind boggles.  The known facts are simple, but rather difficult to beleive. It seems that a band of "wrong-doers" got busy on last Sunday evening and night, close to Montpellier in Southern France - not far from me. It seems that they (and it is to be presumed that they were more than one) managed to go to a vineyard, and over the period Saturday night/Sunday were able to "harvest" over 30 TONNES of........GRAPES...! The most unbeleivable part is that they managed to do so without attracting attention, without being seen - by anybody! Now, to understand just how unbeleivable this is, you must know that although vineyards

Link to the original article:    https://sites.google.com/site/ianwmitchellswebsite/london-many-years-ago ******** Published a long time ago, nostalgy obliges me to think again of times long gone, when life was good, for almost everyone! ********* London-many years ago....!

Older articles - "The Frenchman"

I thought re-publishing a few "older" items could make my life easier and yours more interesting. So - just now and then....Some items go back to the early century...!

That's what one calls it. In the past, the most required tool in any French garage was a hammer,  or rather a collection of hammers to match the size of the task. Ridiculously enough, a good hammering often worked (didn't lower the bill)  and maybe this very fact was typical of those things which happened to  'non-Gallics' mainly on the paying end, and generally on holiday, which  made English people apopleptict, even redder than usual, utterly mad  and at a complete loss for words. Germans were seen to go
