Drought, dancing and David Beckham
Bonjour mes amis! It's been a busy week for you Londoners. Here's Kronenbourg 1664's round up of the stand out watercooler moments from the last seven days. A bientôt!
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Last chapter for pagers
Quelle horreur for you fans of retro technology. One of the last two companies making pagers in the UK, Vodafone, is quitting production. Maybe one day the pager will come back into fashion. Happily, some things – like a great pint of beer – are always en vogue…
Knight terrors
Mon dieu, David Beckham’s acting debut as a humble guard in King Arthur: Legend of the Sword has been poorly received. But surely director Guy Ritchie should have made Le Goldenballs a knight of Le Table Ronde?
No dry spell
In the UK, you have this saying: “It never rains but it pours”. But right now it seems it never pours either, as a summer drought may be on the way. Fear not, mon braves. Even if your lawn is dry, a refreshing glass of Kronenbourg 1664 will ensure that you are not.
Family matters
A report has revealed that Brits are spending more time on the internet, and less with friends et famille. Put down that smartphone, mes amis, and show some respect for your culture… by going down the pub for a pint of Kronenbourg.
Strictly surprises
Les félicitations to Shirley Ballas, the new judge suprême on Strictly Come Dancing. We gather there may be disquiet among the existing judges, but whatever Craig Revel Horwood’s feelings on being overlooked, we feel sure La Ballas will be Fab. U. Lous. How about a taste suprême instead Monsieur Horwood?
For more than 350 years Kronenbourg 1664 has been crafting the taste suprême. For more information go to k1664.co.uk
