Dateline: 18 April 2008
The place: Colruyt supermarket, Brazey-en-Plaine
Average age of shoppers: 110 (at age 63 I am a veritable spring chicken and feel more at one with the personnel bravely manning the desk than my fellow consumers with their caddis full of the French equivalent of McVities digestive biscuits.
