Here in Santa Cruz de Tenerife prices for Canarian wines are noticeably higher than wines from the mainland....it's a classic example of small yields, labour-intensive production and,....trendiness.

Nos régions ultrapériphériques ont des atouts uniques et projettent l’Europe aux quatre coins du monde. Leurs contraintes doivent être mieux prises en compte. Aujourd'hui nous adaptons nos règles à leurs réalités. Pour faire de leur spécificités une force pour elles et toute l'Europe.

I love watching your reports and listening to you play the piano. I notice every time that you have beautifully manicured fingernails which, as a lifelong nail-biter, I'm envious of. Best wishes.

It really is. It matches perfectly my experience of the total eclipse in northern France in 1999. The only thing I can add is at the moment of totality, dogs started barking in the distance in addition to the cocks crowing.

But that's an absurdly simplistic, dogmatic generalisation. HM Govt & Opposition are quite capable of agreeing common ground when it's warranted. Alliances in parliament are possible: e.g. the Lib/Lab pacts of the 70s, the Con/Lib Dem coalition after Brown & other hung parliaments.

100%. In three years, I've not seen one report of brawling on any flights to/from TFS other than those arriving from, or returning to, the British Isles. Not one. Not from E, IT, F, D, BNL, etc... It's past time the airlines & airports took action to prevent this localised behaviour.

Delivery - that's a thought! I'll give it a try 👍. The NZ Sauvignon blanc is bottled by Félix Solis as part of "The Guv'nor" range. Mercadona deserve their #1 spot in Spain.

Love Valor's milk chocolate with almonds so I'll deffo try Senzza. Mercadona are amazing - I recommend their ready-made puff pastry too. And they've just started stocking NZ Sauvignon blanc at €3.60 a bottle! That's 3x cheaper than it is in BE!

Oh, thank you! Yes, I do see the potential confusion. French is such a difficult language; when even highly educated native speakers need to be wary of words like this where "temps" sounds exactly the same as "tant". Bonne journée.

"En temps qu'ingénieur..." is that correct in French? Shouldn't it be "En tant qu'ingénieur"? I'm asking for a friend who's learning French and I'm planning to have her translate this opinion to enlarge her vocabulary. Merci.

Of the 2 I watched, the climax of the British Open at Birkdale was a far more thrilling display of sporting achievement & gamesmanship. Ryan Fox kept his head threw everything the course could throw at him & won the Major with a birdie at the 18th. A true sportsman.

Your love of Russia in its myriad forms shone through during your interview on TRIP. Fascinating to hear your account of life there going back to Soviet times. "Valentina's Kiosk" offered an amazing glimpse into real life. She was always "positive", even before dawn in the deep Russian winter
