Gotta say I love the people of France for this. Although its a huge inconvenience for holiday makers when air traffic controllers strike over poor quality coffee cups or no rubbers on their pencils, I do so admire the French mentality to protest perceived inequalities. Here we riot and raid JD sports for freebies.
