French Army tries to burn down Marseille

Having seen how range fires can burn out of control...,

From the Telegraph website!

Do you think a Range Safety Officer is for the high jump?

Litotes

 

See this is why i dont like france!!

 

Sure it was not just the Navy trying to finish off what they started at Mers-el-Kébir?

Garçon! My coat please.......

 

HE and tinderbox-dry scrub aren't a good mix? Well I never...

Having said that, Marseille is a toilet. I'd have used it as an excuse to finish the place off.

 

Chaos was ensured when Les Pompiers turned up - the French Gunners tried to surrender to them. This surprise (?) capitulation stopped them getting their hoses out and then, reverting to type, they all ran away together.

 

Already up…
