I'll pay attention the next time I'm watching a station with adverts for the French version - I usually kill the sound during advert breaks - I assume they'll be using the same theme.
While on the subject of car adds they never now say how much the car costs to buy just how much per month, with lots of small print at the bottom of the screen wizzing past to explain that although the advert has in big letters, say, 200€ per month the small print reads 400, usually because the car in the ad it the top of the range model not the entry level used for the figures shown.
The government here have a 'cunning plan' to make it possible to lease an electric car for 100€ per month. Neadless to say the French car manufacturers are scratching their heads over that one!
Just as the Prime Minister came up with the plan to change the law allow petrol stations to sell at a loss ( the law doesn't allow selling at a loss for anything other than during official sales periods). That soon got shot down! Supermarkets adimtted thaat they would catch up the loss by increasing prices on some other things. 60% of the price is tax here, so who has the biggest margin for a cut?
Supermarkets have agreed to do short terms offers, my local one has it on for yesterday & today' where they sell at 'prix coutant' - cost price. It looks like about 3 centimes off per litre. Worked though as there was a huge queue at mine local yesterday morning. As I had an appointment in town at the beginning of the afternoon I filled up then, still the 12-14 H lunch period and no queue. I did need to fill up as just got back from a holiday.
Rant over, lunch calls
