Can`t see the French truckers accepting that, if the example of the farmers, seamen and others, the French government is in for a very bumpy ride!

My old friend is right !

If I use 100 litres of diesel to go to he Med.and it goes up 3p. a litre that's an extra £3. Two ice creams.

2 ice creams in the South of France for £3? I dont think so!

We had two in La Franqui just a week or two ago, for 2 euros each - that's £2.88 at today's exchange rate. A lovely big 'boule' of Rhum et Raisin and another of Vanille (his) and Praline and Framboise (mine) in a waffle type cone! We had another in Peyriac sur Mer on Tuesday last week for just 1.50 euros each! And, at the beginning of August Cornettos were just one euro each on special offer in Lagrasse and many other places!!!

If you're prepared to travel to Iceland you can often get 4 Cornettos for a £1.

Much cheaper than a Euro each.

Two ice creams? That is nearly 3 litres of wine.

Quite a dent in one's daily alcohol allowance.

True, and a really good tip for families, but without a freezer, and only two of us, that's too many Cornettos to eat in one sitting. Also our ice cream purchases are usually an impulse buy whilst wandering the hot streets of small towns and villages.

Lidl do similar cheap ice creams including their own make 'Bounties' and 'Crunchie' type ice cream lollies.

And for the sake of not going off-thread -- I imagine diesel flavoured ice creams aren't popular (except amongst garage mechanics!)
