I’ve tried to be sympathetic.

However, after driving in Athens (and thus, rekindling my relationship with my Deity), I would classify Paris as stroll in the park.

“cut out and keep swearing vocab in French:

connard! – assehole!
enculé! – asshole!
fils de pute! – sonofabitch! ”

lol!
Je suis Français et j’aime pas les Parisiens, c’est un pays � part je crois…. enfin bon j’habite dans une ville “banlieue” de Paris et ça devient un peu pareil!

I dislike driving in London but it’s a picnic compared with Paris, and I’ll never forget an Italian driving ‘holiday’ that the boyf and I once took. Driving through the centre of Milan was a nerve wracking experience. It was so hard to tell where the road ended and the tram lines began. Rome wasn’t too bad, but what about those minuscule alleyways that you can actually drive through?

Définitely when I want to say “enculé”, I say “w*nker”!

Jim – If you note the IP address thoughtfully provided on the side of the speed camera, there is apparently a way to hack in and blur the numberplate on the photo.

You didn’t hear it here first.
