Well Reg, Jacques said he couldn't believe that London got the
olympic games contract because, compared to French food, English
food is not even fit to eat, or something to that effect.

I think you will find Cecil that Chirac's comments were made before the
result was announced and probably did little to help his cause.


You are assuming the French actually wanted to host the games. I suspect
they have spotted it wasn't going to make money and wanted out.

I suspect our hosting the games is going to cost the UK big time.

And how! It's also a long way to 2012.
