WELL done, Whitehead's - I was delighted to read about the family grocer's ban on French goods (LET, October 14).

Who do the French think they are? They seem to do as they please and have a blatant disregard for European law.

Let's see more retail outlets and, of course, customers boycotting French goods - at least until they agree to 'play ball.'

I have personally avoided buying French products for quite some time and have not missed them one bit.
