Royal parties, rail fares and redundant washing machines
Bonjour mes amis! Here's Kronenbourg 1664's round up of the stand out watercooler moments from the last seven days. A bientôt!
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Culinary Konta
Is there no end to Johanna Konta’s talents? At Wimbledon, the keen baker revealed her chocolate muffins are improving almost as fast as her ranking. Peut-être Johanna will be la nouvelle Mary Berry when she quits tennis.
A right royal hoo-ha
Qu’est-ce que c’est with this hoo-ha about the Beckhams having a family party at Buckingham Palace behind le Queen’s back? David and Victoria have been the alternative première famille for years. This meeting of old and new royalty was well overdue.
Cleaning up kitchens
Kirstie Allsopp calls her quest to rid kitchens of washing machines her “life’s work”. Any grand ambition is magnifique, and we raise a foaming glass of Kronenbourg 1664 to la belle Kirstie! Just be careful not to spill any – we don’t want to have to do le washing…
Rocketing fine
Zut alors! A Kent commuter who pays £4,500 a year for his season ticket was fined £40 after falling asleep on the train home and getting out at the next station. Bad luck to Neil Armstrong on that. It’s one small stop for man, one giant leap for bureaucratic mankind!
