I borrowed this from the HJ site. Add BA's outage and staycations appeal even more.

It's May (the month) again. Always happens. Yawn if you live in France. At the moment only the Paris area and parts of Brittany seem to be affected.
The CGT - communist union - which called the latest strike spent two years in a guerrilla war against Macron when he was a member of the Socialist government. Expect more disruption to come.
I really wish France would stop fighting the class war - it's so 20th century...

"and staycations appeal even more."

Much as I like the UK a few disgruntled lorry drivers and a failure in one airline's IT systems isn't going to keep me here all summer.

Thought the French were almost permanently on strike? :-) :-)
