There you go, stereotyping again. The French bathe regularly. You don't
come here, so you have no idea of the number of bath shops that we have, and
the assorted kinds of soap (including one made right in Marseille, a French
city). Your mind obviously works by categorizing things. Your problem,
Bill, is that you never update your categories.

Human minds work by categorizing things. But speaking of French
soap, I overheard someone buying up all the French soap in a shop
claiming that it was well worth it (at the amazing discount price)
and you can't get better soap unless you go to France.

It's like the Yanks going on about British people's teeth - tiresome,
vacuous and about 50 years out of date.

Even Queen Elizabeth I bathed *regularly*. At least once a year whether
she needed it or not :-)
