Just to clear things up the blog is talking about the French Gendarmerie, the french national police force. It does not mean the actual French Military Police as we would think of it; the police force of the miltary.
i am a big fan of Channel 4 news, with John Snow. As it lasts for an hour ( ok about 50 mins with ads) it can spen much more time on each topic, rather than the 1 mintue summery and generic live feed to journo in the field replying to quikly surmised answers.
although i agree the BBC has to be the best online news site.
wal-mart in the UK is called ASDA (although wal-mart bough ASDA as an established company) it sells cheap disgusting food, and cheap poor quality products. It goes for the lowest common denominator.
TESCO is the big monolithic supermarket here.
Britain, an island floating off the continent of Europe uses a hybrid system of British imperial and metric. anyone over the age of 40 would of been taught in british imperial measurements, inches, feet, yards etc and still 'think' with regards to those units. rulers / tape measures here have both cm and inches.
Even though EU regulations have mostly changed all measurements to SI you will still find on petrol(gas) pumps a smaller gallon readout with a main litres readout or at least a conversion table. Miles are still used for distances.
anyone below 40 would be firstly taught in metric, but still be aware and how to use britsh imperial measurements.
