Foxy’s onto a winner with Winnebago and Jean-Claude

Bonjour, bonjour, mes amis. Now, apparently I haven’t mentioned enough Barbie (this is an executive order from my esteemed boss as his son worked on the movie), and, despite the $150m marketing campaign that has literally taken over the world, we need more. So here goes…

“I’m a blonde bimbo girl, in a fantasy world, Dress me up, make it tight, I’m your dolly. Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky. You can touch, you can play,  if you say “I’m always yours”. Come on Barbie, let’s go party! (Ah ah ah yeah) Come on Barbie, let’s go party! (Oh oh). Come on Barbie, let’s go party! (Ah ah ah yeah). Come on Barbie, let’s go party! (Oh oh). There, that should shut him up for at least five minutes.

On to far more serious issues. Now, am I the only one who thinks it is hilarious that Nigel Farage – yes, we are back on Campaign magazine’s biggest crush – used one of the key tenets of the European Commission’s GDPR (Article 15 Right of Access by the Data Subject) to find out why Coutts had dumped him, even though he despises everything and everyone in the EU?

Just in case you have forgotten, it goes something like this: “The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed, and, where that is the case, access to the personal data.” (What do you mean I am padding this out? I am simply pointing out the facts.)

Anyway, back to me, and I am pleased to say that the DM Girls’ Getaway (Foxy’s French Adventure) has got off with a bang.

Luckily, a generous anonymous benefactor (loose lips sink ships; they’re not much fun either) has coughed up a holiday fund so that we can now afford a chauffeur (naturally, us girls were born to be driven), who will also be our tour guide and anything else we want him to be over the next few weeks.

Jean-Claude (he’s lush!) picked us up from the South Coast yesterday and we’ve been living it up in the back of his super-sized tour bus – a Winnebago Forza no less – ever since.

This is a significant upgrade from McKelvey’s Decision Marketing Holiday Bus I can tell you. Not only does it actually have a suspension and four wheels, it boasts a large gathering space, complete with three slide rooms, BenchMark Dinette, TrueComfort+ Sofa Sleeper, RestEasy sofa and Theater Seating.

We slept all the way to the Chunnel and beyond and we are now making our way through the glorious French countryside (I can just see the Cathédrale Notre-Dame of Chartres looming in the distance).

Prosecco on tap? Forget it, we have the proper stuff. Apparently, Prosecco is seen as a cheap sparkling wine in France, only good enough for a spritz rather than on its own. (Who says this column isn’t educational?)

And, having accidentally just plonked my not inconsiderable derrière down on a remote control, out popped a 98” QN90A Neo QLED 4K HDR Smart TV from the ceiling. So, guess what, we can lie back and watch Barbie after all…

Bon vacances!
