 | | This is because the French have strict laws forbidding supermarkets from being fully efficient and taking over the country, thus preserving the ubiquity, richness and character of their traditional patisseries, horse butchers, boules shops and purveyors of fishing and boar-hunting requisites. |
 | | Meanwhile, it is predicted that our own small to medium-sized communities will be dying on their feet within 10 years as all the nice country pubs and post offices are boarded up and left to fall into disrepair, their once prize-winning, flower-festooned forecourts full of burned out Ford Fiestas with their wheels missing. |
