Your son-in-law's experience of the French Controle Technique differs greatly from mine, as for knowingly driving round in a vehicle with 2 bald tyres - no comment.

When I stated bald I should have said less than our 1.6 measure .
He was just told to change them sometime.
Go figure !!
Did you live near Angouleme as there is a good Chinese there?

We lived 25 klicks north of Angouleme, the only "Chinese" style restaurant we used to visit was called the "Soleil de Chine" or the "Wok" (it had both names on the walls). It was on the Voie Communale down from Gond-Pontouvre shopping mall and was as close to a Chinese restaurant as you could get in Angouleme. Most of the Chinese or Asiatique restaurants in France are actually based on Vietnamese cuisine a throw back from the days when France tried to colonise Vietnam until they were err umm "evacuated" following the Geneva Accord of 1954 - here ends the history lesson!!!
