At a time when Anglo-French relations are strengthening, the Government appears wary that its half-time policy <em>orange cordial</em> is being undermined.</p> <p>“It’s all very well to adopt an aggressive marketing policy to recoup financial losses, but to expect the ordinary public to pay is beyond a joke. You wouldn’t get a Government trying to get away with this sort of thing.” </p>
