Reporting a delicious discussion in the Office of the Montpellier tramway service last summer…..
English Lady: is it possible to buy daily travel cards here?
Le Monsieur Francais: yes, of course, all lines for 24 hours, 3 euros 60
EL: and is there a discount for over 60s?
MF: but no, Madame, it is more expensive
EL: and for the English?
MF: even more expensive! You see, Madame, you have a Prime Minister who doesn’t like the French
EL: but we, the citizens, we like the French!
MF: ah, well…in that case, you can have tickets for the same price as us….
