      Buncha wimps! It's been raining for one week, and they all start getting their tootsies damp - try living in Wales! :laugh: Seriously, it's a problem and I do feel sorry for 'em. Except Parisian waiters of course.

      Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

          Wimps, you say. Five dead, 3 missing. It's a big mess.

            We're sorry we did not manage to grow some gills. We'll be trying harder...

            You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.

              The 8th picture here[^] How do the French drive around? From what I can tell of the signage, Cambronne is to the left, Trocadero Concorde is to the right, but you can't make a left turn or a right turn, in fact, the middle sign seems to indicate that you can't go forwards or backwards, and who knows what the first sign with the X means.

                  link to google stret view before the flood: Google Maps[^] (I'm no expert on french road signage) I assume the no right turn and no left turn is to prevent crossing (one is blurred) ? The crossed blue circle is no-parking (and the up/down arrows indicate that it applies before and after the sign)

                  I'd rather be phishing!

                        This signals that priority has to be given to vehicles which come from the right.

                          Wow, how did you find that? Makes me laugh at the caption in my original post "street posts are almost completely submerged" or something like that. I was thinking, wow, those signs must be really high then. Not! Marc

                            In my back yard. I dug a ditch for the hardly-ever-there creek, and... Crawdaddy - YouTube[^]

                            We won't sit down. We won't shut up. We won't go quietly away. YouTube and My Mu[sic], Films and Windows Programs, etc.
