Now I understand. <br /><br />This may be simplistic, but it seems the real problem is that more jobs are needed, so that all can work.

The media would probably think this isn't striking enough to show - the street violence in Lyon is much more fun to report about, hence the very distorted view that some of my overseas readers might have about what's going on in France. I'm not denying the numerous street protests we've had in Avignon - about 2 demonstrations a week for the past 2 or 3 weeks - but there really is no violence at all.nathalie in avignonhttp://avignon-in-photos.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-40927900999662359322010-10-21T13:06:00.069+02:002010-10-21T13:06:00.069+02:00Striking is such a way of life in France and one t...Striking is such a way of life in France and one that has so often brought results in the past. Sarkozy seems to be doing a Maggie Thatcher with this one and won't give it - remember the Miners' Strike in the UK? <br /><br />It just seems so wrong when it affects so many other people. Petrol shortages which mean the livelihoods of so many are disrupted. <br /><br />We all live longer and longer and so of course if people are to get their pensions, we have to work longer to pay for it. That's how I see it. <br /><br />Meanwhile, Nathalie, great to see these shots which really show how it is.

Sure, retiring at 60 sounds lovely, but then what do you do? I'm happy to work until I'm 65, or longer if my body and brains hold out and I can be useful and productive. In the meantime, I'm glad I'm living in a frontier area. I'll buy my gas in Switzerland for the next few weeks.<br /><br />Great photos, by the way, of a very current event.Janet M Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927469354253835774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-55823699923693776192010-10-21T11:29:05.566+02:002010-10-21T11:29:05.566+02:00Michel, Nathalie, je trouve en effet que les jeune...Michel, Nathalie, je trouve en effet que les jeunes des quartiers d'Avignon, qui ne sont pas dans les mieux lotis de France sont assez remarquablement raisonnables (est ce vraiment le mot ?)Brigetounhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10885312208764030473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-43835163190570336592010-10-21T11:27:10.549+02:002010-10-21T11:27:10.549+02:00la fille énervée les 35 heures n'ont pas été m...la fille énervée les 35 heures n'ont pas été moins de travail mais travail plus concentré, ce qui a permis aux français de rester dans le peloton de tête pour la productivité.

She's one of the determined students who repeatedly climbed over the wall to attend class or insistently demanded to be admitted in. She gets pretty infuriated when she sees lazy kids who care more about doing nothing now (and hoping to do nothing later) stopping her from going to school.<br /><br />Owen I'm not happy with the blockade either - I too think it's plain wrong. The school principal seems incapable of enforcing free access to the school. Only once on Monday did police intervene to bar the activists from blocking entry. All other days a police car was stationed nearby but no policeman intervened.<br /><br />Thanks to those of you who contributed feedback on the retirement age in your country. Retiring at 60 definitely seems a lost cause to me.nathalie in avignonhttp://avignon-in-photos.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-10571323503043376612010-10-20T10:14:48.077+02:002010-10-20T10:14:48.077+02:00It is strange the students are so active against r...It is strange the students are so active against retraite.
