Usually our "art et essai" cinema has "crowds" almost reaching double figures - but I couldn't believe the queues last Sunday afternoon. I was around for the original so didn't need to see that film - went to see La Taupe instead.
Maggie was never very popular in Scotland, using the Scots as a test-bed for the poll tax. And didn't she suggest that the trigger temperature for cold weather payments should be colder than in England?
I haven't quite reached the age where I can claim the winter fuel allowance. I don't suppose there's much hope of the UK government setting up a summer electricity allowance to pay for the air conditioning for expats in warmer climes.
