I guess the prime minister, Francois Fillon, can’t yet drive. I hear it’s his 3rd attempt at getting a licence. Kouchner & Woerth (tch, cookie jar) dumped while Borloo lost energy and bailed.
The steering on the 2CV in the cartoon seems to be veering more right though.
Don’t see too many 2CVs anymore although my cousin in Toronto has one.
^ Here’s a weird one. By sheer coincidence I just found out my cousin is on a 12 hour stop over in London enroute from Toronto to South Africa, I’m having lunch with him tomorrow. Haven’t seen him in…12 years? Too bloody weird.
Here’s his 2CV He calls it Milu. My late aunt’s pet name.
I think Portugal was the last country to produce 2CVs in the late ’80s.
^ eep! 2 hours? Mind you, I’m a mere 25 miles from the West End and it can take me up to 2 hours to get home (I live off a small train station which means I cannot take the faster trains). I used to part cycle/train my commute to reduce my transit time to an hour.
Had a great afternoon with my cousin, caught up on a lot. Turns out he and his wife lost their SA citzenship when they naturalised Canadian because they didn’t ask the SA government permission. :p Still has his Pt citizenship though (born in Lisbon). He also told me his sons attend a French medium school and are fluent in English and French. Although his wife & children were all born in SA, before he moved over, he had been living in Neuchatel, Swizterland a few years and his eldest was already in school, so to make their transition easier…
However, neither son speaks Portuguese nor Chinese. :(
I said miles, didn’t I? sigh I’ve been living here too long.
40km is not much to cycle but everyday as a commute through the hazards of the A4 & M25 might be a bit tricky! Although there’s a cycle route of sorts from my place to work, it would take considerably longer than a couple of hours to get there. So I combined about 16kms cycling with 24kms by train.
Until I bought my car (my 2nd ever). Paying for its upkeep AND taking British rail didn’t make much economic sense. And rail is getting even more expensive here.

Can you make out the letters on the bags in the background? I thought Sarko managed to get himself in another scandal.

^ Kouchner, Woerth & Borloo. Just a cabinet reshuffle.

TCL: Although I say Toronto because he normally does, he’s actually in its outskirts. Is Mississauga your neck of the woods…?
