...will pay a lot less for food and booze:
"The French government is offering some good news for tourists and beleaguered consumers in France: The price of dining out is expected to go down soon.
The value-added tax, which is applied on a range of items in restaurants, will be reduced to 5.5 percent from 19.6 percent, beginning July 1, the office of President Nicolas Sarkozy said last week." :y
I understand that includes both food and drink in bars and restaurants.

Any chance of that happening here?
Sorry, I meant to type "No chance of that happening here" :(

This summer could see problems for France, Spain, Italy etc. As I am sure numerous people like myself will not be holidaying this year. A work colleague has just returned from Spain and he was saying how expensive everything seems.
Am I holidaying in the UK, no I am not. For this first time since about 1982 I will not be taking a main summer holiday, and I am in a fairly safe job.

That's no good. She's on the verge of banning me from the Black stuff anyway, due to some side-effects apparently. ::)

But then its nothing new when i used to drive out there in mid to late 80's we were getting 6.5 ffs to the pound,so its nothing new with the pound /euro being crap.Heard it was going up a little bit the exchange rate
