Lockdoctor   10 #74 Posted December 7, 2018 The French authorities are still expecting trouble this Saturday. Tourists sites are closing and armoured vehicles are going to be on the streets of Paris. A very sorry state of affairs. Hopefully things wont be as bad as the French authorities fear. We are lucky to be living in England.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-46476037 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
