A long time ago I read that the french buy the smallest # of bars of soap per capita than, well, mabye not anywhere else, but are below most other countries
If they're buying French-milled soap they will need fewer bars of soap for the same amount of cleansing. It's a denser, soapier, soap. There's a reason it's so expensive.

hmm, the Dutch.
Well, I always find their milk and butter a bit cheese-stinky. Does that count?

Its because the French make denser more chockier chocky bars and consequently need the denser more soapier (lovely adjective.....or is it an adverb?) soap to clean up afterwards.

Steve - But when you put chocolate over the body of your lover, you dont need soap, just lick...
But maybe I'm being too dense.

We'll go through the park, Steve, and I'll show you the flowers, and the bees, and after a couple of Pils in the Jonathan you'll understand that - just wait until then.

French soaps, yes.
French fashions, yes.
French music, yes.

wow, this thread has taken a sharp u-turn here, hasn't it?
By the way, if you lick that much chocolate, you're
liable to get sick.

Just because the First test is over and your honorary membership of the society of cricket lovers is lapsed, there is no need to revert to being a typical Frenchman and suggesting unusual things that two people can do with chocolate.

Unusual things?
Did I miss something?
Or does Steve only do "things" for God and country?
