"The country's most popular meeting point for parents"
The Times
X Factor - making the song their own?
Not just an M&S ad - it's a sexist ad?
Wotsits or wine - home delivery substitutes?
Corsa? Yaris? - car-inspired baby names?
Cheesed off - with pregnancy food advice?

Brilliant! Quirky humour.
It's a charming story of people in a time warp in a small French village, but the brilliance is in the way it is written.
Places are never referred to just as 'the fountain' but 'the fountain-said-to-cure-gout', à la mode de 'Allo 'Allo (not sure about my French grammar there).
I grinned a lot whilst reading it!
