Good news for Jacques
at least when it comes to his grocery bills: A French court has dismissed legal action against President Jacques Chirac over the food bills he ran up as mayor of Paris in the 1980s and 1990s, because the statute of limitations has passed.

Jacques & Bernadette were spending 600 euros (£420) a day on average between 1988 and 1995.

Sleaze leaves French voters cold, or so it appears.
