Deleted User and I have just been touring round the Alps on our motorcycles...........

You're making me jealous now, that would have been a good ride no doubt. What sort of bikes did you both have?

Yes, although when have you ever known them check?

Advice on (English-speaking) Riviera Radio prime-time this morning. Fill your car up asap -- and then take every opportunity to put in an additional 10 (ten) litres. GROAN.

Never, but if there was a time to check now would definitely be the time....

Well that was Rob, so you can understand what he is saying, unlike Cassandra! God she drives me up the wall.

Just back from lunch at Cap D'Ail and the weather is epic, if not a tad windy.

I filled up with diesel at the Intermarche in Ceret this morning .... €1.15 which was a bit steep but no limit so filled to the brim ... no queue either!

Here in the Charente Maritime it is a bit hit & miss. Local Carrefour has a bit of diesel, but no petrol. Local Intermarché has diesel and 95E10 petrol, no 98. Yesterday, CF had no diesel.
While tootling over to Confolens, on Monday. One place had no diesel, other one had no petrol.
France has to get a grip in it's Unions, but, no chance any time soon. The CGT are gagging for a fight to prove they are in control of the Gov. A freshly elected top guy does not help, as he needs to prove something.

Drove down St Malo to Cognac and I would say 60% of fuel stations are open.

I'm in Monaco .....Monaco is very alive with GP yacht parties and stuff, and people driving their own supercars (or their dad's) around the F1 circuit

Is it the first time the new boat has seemed small?

I was there the weekend before last for the Grand Prix Historique ... saw one the same as ours moored between 2 superyachts ... made me feel very poor!

Just an update for others concerned about fuel in France
Have just crossed the border into Spain on our way to Portugal (great to fill up at Spanisn 1.05 euros /l) No problems coming down the west side of France by motorway all fuels available and no queues all the way down.
I'm wondering if the strike will need to be escallated to have some effect.
