BBC in France
I note (to my surprise) that the French satellite comic - Tele-satellite -
now publishes weekly BBC schedules (inc CBBC etc) for all their French readers who (we are told) aren't interested in watching the BBC on their dishes that can't (we are told) get it [cf the nonsensical Jomtien's Catch Pi]. [I tend to buy a copy of this cracking good read whenever I'm in France.]

You missed the point. Of course you can receive it quite well in Germany and of course it's easy to get all over France - and indeed a large part of Western Europe. The point is that we have been lectured for a number of years by Jomtien who maintains that (a) nobody in France (in particular) will ever want to watch it and (b) the only people who want to watch it in continental Europe are those with relatives or friends in the UK. This is, of course, ******** and always was.
