I'm miffed.
French President Jacques Chirac left Brussels saying that he had been "deeply shocked" by the language used at this summit.
That is because the language was English, and it was being spoken by a fellow Frenchman.
The president, a lover of dramatic gesture, walked out of one meeting, trailing his senior ministers behind him, when the head of Europe's business organisation, Ernest-Antoine Seilliere, had the temerity to abandon the language of Balzac for that of Bush and Blair.
I'm miffed.
