I work (at least until Friday) with a bunch of people who either have houses in northern France or who seem to think that the best way to have a holiday is to go and torment the rural French. They all seem to be constantly running foul of the local laws - speeding, fences, even the colours they paint their houses. None of them seem to resent it; most of them expect to do something else that will nark the French authorities. It's kind of a standing joke ...
