We get Nun of that here !

I really can't be bothered with someone who cannot post in English on a UK Site.

[naomi24]

Baldric, nor me. See my link from Sky.

[EDDIE51]

The link is in French, Baldric because it is to a French newspaper. My laptop on W7 offers automatic translation so I see the link in English !

[Mamyalynne]

I could read it too but good to have 2 links - how terrifying.

[naomi24]

I read the French article but I'm well aware that other people may not be able to - hence the link from Sky.

|I read the French article, too, but thanks for the one from sky. Not a lot of info. added. Fingers crossed for no more deaths. Terrifying for inhabitants.

A quick post peter thanks, for those who don't read French, it alerted us to sky news.

No sign of any terrorism being involved here.

No sign of any terrorism being involved here.

The victim(s) might think otherwise.

[mikey4444]

"There is so far no indication that this is a terrorist incident, sources close to the investigation said"

[youngmafbog]

Would that be the anti terrorist squad that attended?

At the moment no idea, I doubt it was an Islamic terrorist but there are others.

[naomi24]

If it is an act of terrorism, it's an odd one - but who knows? We'll have to wait and see.

Peter Pedant - // chaos as you would expect in France ...//

As opposed to what?

Are the French more or less likely to react with chaos than any other country, simply because they are French?

Bizarre!

[Baldric]

///The link is in French, Baldric because it is to a French newspaper///

and true to form Eddie patronisingly states the B/obvious again.

[aelmpvw]

i'm guessing the 'chaos' that Peter Pedant referred to was because of the proliferation of terrorist attacks in France, not the fact that they are French

[hc4361]

We all know that Peter has his own way with words. I assume he meant:

One dead and chaos as you would expect (with such an awful thing happening)
Happening in France.....
