The French” (paywalled) – a Daily Telegraph writer announced that her Francophile days were over. Criticising the French for not tolerating badly behaved children in restaurants. The notion that the French are not child-friendly, least of all in restaurants, is surely risible.

The Fuller children may indeed flourish away from disapproval in France, when taken instead to Devon and to other continental destinations such as Ibiza, the Netherlands and Portugal.
