    Doesn't that mean "Nazis approaching...time to concede" ?

    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    The french like to dot the roadsides with such roadsigns so as to confuse the foreigners. They like it that way. Helps with the tourism as well.

    I always wondered about that sign aswell...

    So, Markman, did you have a good time in France?
    Everything I say is either loose interpretation of dubious facts or idle speculation rooted in irrational sentiment.

    haw haw haw.. bonjour mes amis ... comment ca va?

    ok the sign is the compliment to the same sign without the diagonal line. So the first one says that you have right of way on say difficult roads, mountain roads etc where maneuvering may be required. The sign with the line says "as you were, nothing to see here anymore" and so there is equal priority

    ps In Paris I witnessed absolutely no rules and no concern from traffic police.

    For a moment I actually thought that your description said the sign said "Sign Ahead"

    As long as you abide by the only traffic rule Paris has ("Fook you I go first !!"), you'll be OK.

    Great time. Spent 2 days in paris being a typical tourist, then took a train to Rennes, drove up to St. Malo and spent a day there. Then I went down through Loire and Dordogne the next 5 or so days, then took a train to Paris to catch a plane.

    Great time

    So, you got about a bit.

    Good to see you got a chance to go to Brittany. What did you do in St. Malo? Find a nice seafood restaurant I hope?

    Last time I was in Paris, I was greeted by a crowd holding banners up with the words "Mon nom est Mendhak. J'aime embrasser mon Ass'

    Probably some election rally... what does it mean??
