It's Amazing What you Learn about your Locality

..........when you read the British Newspapers. During the last week everywhere we've been the village signs have been turned upside down. We thought it very strange but had no idea why until we read an article in a UK newspaper. Apparently the Young Farmers are the culprits and it's a protest about just about everything!! The campaign is obviously effective as you certainly can't miss that the signs are upside down, however I question it's effectiveness if you have no idea why. John reads the national/local paper and has not seen any report.

John followed a "tractor snail" of "Adult" farmers in Cahors last week who were also protesting and there have been photos in the paper of loads of manure being dumped at the entrances of official buildings. What a waste!!

No doubt they have a genuine complaint but the French are not known for getting round the table to negotiate.
