We'd mutter a bit, kick a few stones around, stuff a few more fifties into our wallets and get on with paying the fines. One thing about the Froggies, if the French Gubbermint does something the Frog populace doesn't like, the *best* that happens is Paris comes to a standstill. The worst is the Parisians come home to a nice warming real fire.

Superrb. And since when did the Frogs decide filtering was a bad thing? They've always filtered.

And reading the follow up article it's unclear what they were protesting about... "Having said that, another reason why 40,000 bikers invaded the French roads and public transport in quite a few cities and towns last Saturday is because they remain opposed to bikes being obliged to go through a safety and mechanical test on an annual basis (such as the UK MOT test), again like cars do" Which seems to be an enviable position to be in. Wish I didn't have to worry about MOTs for my 'fleet'...
