Do not forget the wine.
 
Is your hammer big and red, and has "OFF" printed on it white letters?
 
I thought you were taken over by the French last year? :confused: Or was that just a visit where they were trying to decide if they wanted to acquire your company? I remember some discussion about you going to France to teach them how you do what you do so well.

I thought it was pie in the sky, this French company is huge, i could only wonder why they would want a tiddler like us, now i understand we will be distributing their products as well as our own.
I doubt we could teach these guys any thing, as i am sure the British make mend an do method would horrify them.
