Well apparently many others agree with you considering how high Sarkozy's and Bayrou's numbers are today. I personally think Royal squandered a real opportunity with the "conservativness" of her socialist platform, but that there is still time to move toward a more pragmatic center, which Bayrou has evidently seized.

I know that if we were offered free labour for six months at a time, we’d take it. In fact, it would suit us down to the ground as we’d take the free labour from about March to September every year without fail as I imagine that most of the B&B/hotel/gite owners would do as well.

Of course, the downside of this is that we wouldn’t even consider employ anyone who wasn’t working “free” so unemployment would almost certainly rise considerably.

As it happens, we’d quite like to employ someone but the problem is that whenever I’ve looked at it, it seemed to me that the admin overhead these days is such that I’d need to employ a minimum of two (and possibly three) people to break even time-wise.

With a long break, when I fell asleep, I also watched Segolene Royal’s performance.

The word “radiant ” comes to mind, the same word Charlotte the spider spins for Wilbur her friend the pig when she wants to rescue him from being served as Christmas dinner .

Thanks for your clarification, Eliz.Holmes
