| The British invasion of Normandy
It used to be unthinkable that Britons would ever be able to take on the French in the kitchen, but many chefs in Normandy are now raising the white tea towel in defeat. Back in 1066 William the Conqueror invaded England and bought culinary expertise with him, but nearly a millennium later it is the Brits who are returning the flavour. For decades British holidaymakers have crossed the channel for a taste of real France. Often they were prepared to rough it in second rate accommodation because the quality of the food was so much better than back home. But these days a more discerning and demanding visitor is booking into expatriate placest as they offer top quality food and accommodation. There is a huge choice - battalions of Brits have moved to the Manche in Normandy to open guest houses, chateau hotels, restaurants and catering schools.

PALMDALE - Wal-Mart Discount Store No. 2950 at 47th Street East and Avenue S, which was built in 2002, has undergone what the company calls "a four-wall expansion" and emerged Wednesday as a Supercenter. The 188,081-square-foot store has gained 38,396 square feet in its transformation to a Supercenter, adding a full line of groceries, convenience services and a bank. It is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
