Yes I heard that a couple of days ago, just after David Cameron pissed off the French Government by saying he would unroll the red carpet to greet all the French companies and rich Frenchmen willing to settle down in Britain! How do we say.... ? "Perfide Albion" I think LOL!<br /><br />Seriously, in fact I heard a lot of young French people go to England for "they are given a chance" - That is what I heard.Ludehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00288299480922682837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-54000312190623034042012-06-21T19:06:50.407+02:002012-06-21T19:06:50.407+02:00The first time I visited Paris in the nineties, th...The first time I visited Paris in the nineties, the house prices didn't seem particularly high, much lower than London. Now they are just astronomical. Must be wealthy foreigners moving in, oil rich Arabs, Russian oligarchs, Chinese industrialists, Bankers and rich Greeks getting their money out of the country. :-)<br /><br />Incidentally, do you know which is France's 6th largest city?<br />Bordeaux? Nantes? Strasbourg?<br />Nope. According to an article I read recently it's - London!<br />The French consulate estimates between 300,000 and 400,000 French citizens now live there. They even have their own member of the French parliament.<br /><br />What with the proposed 75% tax rate for the rich, even more are expected to hop over the Channel to give Monsieur Hollande the slip!<br /><br />Great photo, it reminds me of a snail for some reason.Drummondnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-56371841619712617362012-06-21T17:33:33.908+02:002012-06-21T17:33:33.908+02:00Eric, that's a great shot, I love those sort o...Eric, that's a great shot, I love those sort of perspectives.Rich Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488545354247145748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-27006578732166081552012-06-21T17:08:22.969+02:002012-06-21T17:08:22.969+02:00Merci beaucoup,Eric, for starting my morning out s...Merci beaucoup,Eric, for starting my morning out so majestuous!
