Bank Holiday outings pale into insignificance as the intrepid Ray Gosling joins the 'Euro shoppers' for a day trip from Portsmouth to
Cherbourg. In the French hypermarkets there are said to be bargains galore, not to mention the prospect of duty frees. But even the best laid plans can go slightly awry, as a seemingly well planned British offensive competes with the subtle allure of French cuisine, and some occasionally misplaced 'etente cordiale'.
