    Summer(*) coming, I see my daily commuting path (A86 East of Paris)
    invaded by all of Northern Europe pouring down to where they expect some
    sun. This includes a fair number of vehicles from the other side of the
    Channel. Since I want to give a good image of the French bikers, what is
    the proper way to thank a British lady for eventually complying to the
    various signs asking her to **** off with her sodding caravan?

    1) extend a leg, French style
    2) waving
    3) give a finger
    4) boot the side of the car
    5) fart in her general direction

    PS: also came across a British biker: Harley-like bike (possibly
    Kawasaki), black & yellow Hein Gericke jacket, possibly short black
    beard. Good person. Filtering on the periph (**) at reasonable speed and
    despite this, moves to side without the need for asking. <bows>

    (*) obviously not speaking about the weather ATM.

    (**) a (corrected) made me type "perish"
