If you do go to Normandy French law now requires you to carry an approved breathalyser

Question, you use the breathalyser and are all clear, can you drive home without another breathalyser in the car? How do you drive to the shop to get another? 

Looks like a good way to take roadside buksheesh from the English - they still havent forgiven us for Agincourt 

Does it say you have to carry it, but does it mention you have to use it? 

Saw posters at Clackett Lane services, just carry it I assume.  Bet they get more expensive as you get nearer the channel ports.

How mad is that! not only not forgiven us for agincourt,but still sore we bailed them out in 2 world wars,dont forget they allways been out to get us back,remember the falklands,exocet,entard jets,and of course not flying over there air space!! sorry gone off on one lol. will look seriously into the breather kit! prob will get ripped off on the price too,say 5,000000euros!!

OH and allso if you go by coach trip does the company have to supply say 52 of the kits? or only the drivers lol.

Just seen them in Halfords, £5.99 for 2 I think

I dont really go in for bashing other nationalities, we have hardly been squeeky clean, but here is something posted on another forum that made me chuckle.

If you are French then substitute Belgium or something, it mostly still works.

JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.
Rusk responded "Does that include those who are buried here?"

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying 'Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intended to do, bomb them?'

A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly:

'Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply Emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000
people three meals a day.  They can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?'

A Royal Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, the English learn only English.
He then asked, 'Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?'

Without hesitating, the British Admiral replied, 'Maybe it's because the Brit's, Canadians, Aussie's, South Africans, and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German.'

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.

"You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically.

Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.

"Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."

The Englishman said, 'The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."

"Impossible. You English always have to show your passports on arrival in France !"

The English senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained,

''Well, when I came ashore at Gold Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to."
