Healthy and happy in France
As a member of the overseas contingent may I say that we Foreigners are, to the best of my knowledge, are all well fighting fit and healthy over here so would you all be terribly kind and remember to hold hankies over mouths when you blog so we are not put at risk from your Anglo Saxon germs! Otherwise I fear we shall have to instigate sheep dipping at all cross channel ports again.
Personally i put it down to not enough red wine and too much tea!
Ps this is an art deco advert which was designed to encourage women to purchase a particular item. Any guesses? Go on it will take your minds of your ill health ps sorry no prizes!!

I, too, thoroughly English (apart from a quarter bit of Australian which sneaks in, necessarily, to make me not mind so much when we get slaughtered at cricket) fighting fit and wondering what is going on elsewhere. But hey, I never drink tea. Perhaps that IS it! And are they discussing relative merits and demerits of cement mixers, or am I merely obsessed with building work at the mo?

Shiny shins. I would buy them if I could. I would pay money for shiny shins not to be painful shins first. I have one shin that's a bit hairy and one that's a lot hairy as I can't quite epilate a full shin at once. I'm a looker, me.

Some sort of 'feminine hygiene' product, as they say on TV?

Was going to say the sofa but can't be as it appears on closer inspection to be an arm chair and half a sofa which is no good to anyone. Would like to purchase their pose though as I have a tendancy to slump.

I love the idea that they are discussing cement mixers! From the way their legs are so tightly crossed, it's feminine hygiene products. Or vaccum cleaners. Or refrigerators. No it's chocolate! Fry's chocolate cream? No?

It's a picture of me and Un peu, in Brittany, showing off the correct way to be ladies. Hmmm?
Actually I think they are advertising, if ladies could sink so low, the best China tea.

Was going to say Lloyd Loom chairs....or tea....but much prefer the shiny legs suggestion.
'My dear, how do you get them so perfectly darling and shiny?'
'I use Purplecoo polish....a quick rub and they're gleaming - just like new...'
'And so purple...'
'Now, about that old cow Terese....'
