Yer but French people are different...I've been on the Monte a couple of times and believe me, crowd control/safety is nothing like you'd see in the UK....

That's so true, I don't think crowd control is in their vocabulary

Having marshalled at a rally in the UK, I can say with confidence that you get told to **** off by a lot of people standing in daft places when you ask them to move along to a safer area.
Radioing in every occurrence is frowned upon as every stage would then be cancelled....
Hence the 'Motor Sport is Dangerous' sign's

" OK then lads, lets have you all back off the road before some idiot gets killed".

Just a bit close, but he is good at hiding the fright he must have had-my cat is like that, looks as though he meant it to happen if he falls off the chair!
Reminds me of the night I spent in Monte Carlo Gaol once, but that is another story

Most of me wishes he had been hit.
Obviously trying to prove something.
