No blog for a few days due to frenetic stirring activity and web site building.
So, where were we?
Ah yes, shale gas (gaz de schiste). Rhymes with 'pissed'.
Seems that Sarko (aka Shorty, Sharky) his ministers and minions along with the gas companies have pulled a real flanker and slipped a 'prospect for gas, and sod the damage' law past the entire French population.
So we are telling him this is not cricket.
And guess what? Le Prez is coming to Lauzerte tomorrow (Tues 15th March).
The plan was to have a ville mort (a dead town, no one around, no one coming to wave flags, say 'Hi! M. Prez', no one going shopping or standing in the street chatting, or carrying baguettes under arms) This will not look great for the Short One on TV and in the press.
And it seems 'they' are helping us. Rumour has it that Le Rozzers are closing the town. No one on the route from helipad to the meeting venue is allowed out of their houses... and that means most of the town, except for the beautiful medieval old town at the very top of the hill and that is dead most of the time anyway (another story for later).
Check out the news page for more unsubstantiated nonsense.

And remember, all this could be coming to a field near YOU very soon.
If you live near Blackpool it already has.
