Now David Beckham is no longer playing football, he can afford to treat himself occasionally. And le Goldenballs did just that on his way to Glastonbury – by stopping off for a Big Mac.

David: enjoy le boeuf burger… and when you want something to wash it down with, let us know. A former soccer supremo deserves a taste suprême, n’est-ce pas?

Refreshing journey

Félicitations to Joe Furness. The 21-year-old found out the price of a train ticket from Newcastle to London was nearly £80 - even with his student railcard - so he did the trip par avion… via Menorca. Not only did he save himself £40, he even had time to catch some sun and enjoy a cocktail.

Next time, Joe, make a wiser choice than Menorca. Travel via the town of Alsace and you can enjoy something a lot more refreshing than a cocktail…

Ooh la la – the Formula 1 has taken a new turn. In Azerbaijan last weekend while waiting for the restart behind le safety car, Sebastian Vettel gave your Lewis Hamilton a little bump (or two). Quelle horreur this is not very sporting… we suggest that both drivers take time away from the track and raise a glass to sportsmanship.

Summer dreams

Blue skies, soaring temperatures, picnics dans le parc, barbecues... all of which you could only dream of this week, as le British summer came to a sudden end.

It was time to put away your shorts and sandals and dig out your anoraks and umbrellas again. Still, good news for pub landlords: when there’s a torrential downpour outside, what better way to stay dry than to nip to the pub and order a refreshing glass of Kronenbourg 1664. Santé to le weather Anglais!

For more than 350 years Kronenbourg 1664 has been crafting the taste suprême. For more information go to k1664.co.uk
