Buckley lives la vie en rosé
Watching the punters I had to agree with Dougal Cawley of Longstone Tyres that the French are still great advocates of the classic comb-over. The hirsute Dougal even decided he was going to shave the top of his head so he could effect one of his own.
Full marks to the thoroughly unconvincing transvestites spotted trawling through the tool stalls, the fabulously original 'barn-find' Delahaye convertible and the white fridge-like micro car (a William?) which really made me smile.
Not entirely sure I saw everything, but I gave it a miss on the Sunday as the crowds began to swell. Activities external to the show in an extremely chilly Paris included more drinking with Dougal, some sight-seeing and watching Claude tuck into some dog meat topped with a raw egg.
