It wasn't that annoying journalist from Le Monde was it? He often appears on Dateline London on BBC News 24/World.

Don't think so... you never catch French reporters outside Paris, where they can use their subsidies to stuff themselves with ortolans and fois gras, plagiarise their stories off the BBC website, put a socialist gloss on them and insert the occasional reference to "cowboy Bush", shove them into their editor's in-tray in his absence (he's out to lunch stuffing himself with ortolans and fois gras), and then get back to the Restaurant Lipp on Boulevard St. Germain and stuff themselves with ortolans and fois gras...

An American girl whom I know took up a post on the Herald Tribune's Paris offices, and a year later is reported to have put on about three stones and got Delerium Tremens...
