Huge excitement, not only can we buy tins of pate but crackers too.  These things are very exciting after months, well alright, weeks, at sea.

But, what can this be?  At least six crackers less than expected in a very carefully designed plastic insert so that you have no way of knowing until you open it that the packet is not full from end to end.  This was French, these being French islands, and reminded us of buying a lovely packet of pork chops in a French supermarket only to find that the top one was lovely and the other three feeble and fatty. 

Presumably they don’t have Anne Robinson, Watchdog, Esther Rantzen and assorted others to keep an eye on this sort of thing in France.  So there we have it, a reason to be grateful for Anne Robinson.
