Just been reading this book published in 1995 and it has been making me smile.
There were 4,000 polls that year
According to polls that year only 2 % of women liked to make love on a Tuesday[ Tuesday had a dismal reputation]
82 % of women change their underpants every day, only 56% of males. One in a hundred reserving this for Sundays.
30% of the French found it agreeable not to wash for several days. Perhaps honouring the spirit of Napoleon's injunction to Josephine '' Don't wash, I will be there in a week!''
27% of women admitted to peeing in the swimming pool.
60% of men who read the French Playboy magazine favoured big breasts, although it was never qualified what classed as big.
On a higher plane 1% of households had a tortoise and there were over 5,000 dog bites recorded that year, 31% were not the postman but the dogs own master, so that was alright then.
The most attractive French woman was Catherine Deneuve, who the author Louis Bernard Robitaille appears to have a crush on [ and why not Malc says.]
The country most dear to a French mans heart, other than France was Canada.
Gosh, and the book was published 18 years ago, a lot of it still seems relevant... but do not mean the silly stats.
Val says again- On french TV this morning there had been a poll [ sondage] which said The French were the most pessimistic in Europe. Well on a sunny morning that is not us chaps, .is it.
