It gives me all the entertainment of worrying that I've left my car on the road with an out-of-date disc for a day. I've driven most of the length of France, and it's sickening to admit that they do indeed have better roads than us. And their motorways, tollboothed though they are, are so superior they shouldn't even be labelled with the same name. They still drive on the wrong side, of course.

The form clearly says that they don't take credit cards, or rather, it states what they do take. It's not just the post office with this policy. Do it online next year and give us a post about an annoying local pet or spotty youth or something instead. :) Yeah, this seems like a moan for the sake of it.
