But I expect we are still paying for them Tone with what we pay into the EU. The Brits stick to the rules but no body else does.Cheers mate

This was in a restaurant nicknamed Barbara Streisand’s between Le Man’s and Tours unfortunately it’s another one that is closed.

What a nice lady and a great place to stop.I used to stop there a lot when I first went to Spain And Portugal via N10.Then we started using the N137 and found some good stops on that route also. Kerbut is right that Routiers near the aerodrome in Tours was another cracking place to stop.Cheers Geoff
