for purposes of clarification I view french cuisine en france as a leading indicator, if they lose that status then France is on its way down the proverbial toilet.

We have some french chefs owning London restaurants, the cordon bleu variety. Some of them say that english cooking is better than french cuisine nowadays and that they would never employ french chefs because they keep looking at their watches for the next tea break. Really seriously lazy as compared to english staff. French chefs demand very short working hrs and tend to be militant.

I am about convinced the deal will not get ratified. That is the reason for a short pos cable.
Cable short is now back at entry. Was almost knocked out.
Anyway German French TV channel, after ots of good docus on travels in France, has now started to cover Cornwall.
Started with a public address by Merkel within a year they'll drive....ya know.

The Budget deal is a small step in the right direction assuming it is ratified. A cap on the Brussels credit card, mon dieu !

I was listening to Marie Le Pen earlier this week and thinking what a great shame she is not leading the French nation instead of the ridiculous Hollande.

USDx ist not necessarily the same as USD relative strength but nevertheless its the day of British pound . Hopefully Cameron gets even more weight on these complacent squanderers of their very own economic future in Eurozone.
