720.0. "Cheaper beer?" by KERNEL::HANNANS (Things to make you go MMMMMMMMMM�) Mon Jan 24 1994 11:17

    Hi all,
    	   
    	   I am off to france for the day on one of these one pound trips,
    to stock up on beer for the next couple of days ( hic!!)
    
    Not wanting to get ripped off in the first hypermarket I come across,
    is there anyone out there who knows of any places within 30 mins drive 
    of Calais, that sells beer at the french local price, and not the
    "lets cash in on the English "tourist price?...
    
       Cheers 
    
       Steve

Steve,

Come off the ferry and drive through Calais following signs
to The Rest of France. When you hit the next town, stop and 
wind your window down - which is handy 'cos you'll be on the
right side! - and ask the first passer by you see "Ou est le
Hypermarch� avec les prices de Francais? Je voudrais plus
bier." They'll point you in the right direction.

don't mention it!
