Qu’est-ce que c’est with your crazy love of pets? A design firm in Cheshire is selling “dog manors” for up to £170,000. These palatial marble kennels come with TVs and treat-dispensers - and the conference calling system without which no chien’s life is complete. Of course, for us Alsace-tians, a home bar is preferable too…

A survey has revealed that on average Brits spend six hours a week - three years over a lifetime - dithering over where to holiday, and what to buy, wear, eat and watch on television. One dilemma absent from the list is what to order down the pub – it’s a Kronenbourg 1664 every time, naturellement.

After a three-year absence, JK Rowling is no longer expelliarmus from Forbes’ list of the world’s 100 top earning celebs. La Rowling is back at number three after banking £75m last year from books and Harry Potter theme parks. Forget butter beer, there’s only one bière she’ll need to celebrate, n’est ce pas?

What better time to nip across Le Manche now that European mobile phone roaming charges have been scrapped? And if you do visit this summer, you can call home for free with the news that McDonald’s en France now supplies customers with cutlery. Quelle elegance! Luckily, with a Kronenbourg 1664, a glass is entirely optional.

Prize-winning performance

Can it be vrai? Bob Dylan is accused of lifting his Nobel Prize speech from literature students’ revision guides. Apparently, “The answer, my friend, is blowin’… on page 83 of the SparkNotes guide to Moby Dick.” Très bon, Monsieur Dylan.

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