We presumably lack some of the cultural knowledge today, eg why cross-gartering was funny.

If they were all like Blackadder II, I'd be more into it

I was hoping it was going to develop into this year's Parrot thread. It had potential there for a moment.

I got confused by the statement " got all the requirements except the breathalyser". I mean it's the norm for us all when planning a car trip, right?

Wallet - check
Car keys - check
Luggage - check
Dogs (including part dogs) - check
Breathalyser - check.

WTF?

I'm guessing the booze will be for the 3 1/2 dogs? How else are they going to get through such an excursion with Mary Nesbitt?

Someone phone the RSPCA, FFS!

Blimey, Google and.....

Breathalysers
1 March 2012 - the French government confirmed that from 1 July 2012 drivers of all motor vehicles and motorcycles (excluding mopeds) must carry a breathalyser. The regulation will be enforced from 1 November 2012 and anyone stopped after that date who fails to produce a breathalyser when requested will receive an on the spot fine of €11.
