It is a so-called "hot autumn" in France, where their battle to stop the government increasing the retirement age from 60 to 62 (retiring at 62? Luxury!) is attaining general strike proportions. We do our best in little old Barnet, as well, though.
Here are some dates for your diary. I'm sure more will be added later! Look out for an extra special date at the end. Who knows what ampleur (as the French say) our own fightback might have reached by the new year! We might be giving the French lessons (ho, ho).
