Creme Brulee; a French government statement.

Madames et monseurs;

As you are aware there has been a national shortage of creme brulee for a week now. I can now confirm from our immigration department tha the two people responsable for the situation, a Mr and Mrs Jelltex, left the country on Friday evening.
Over the weekend, our creme brulee scientists have been beavering away replacing our stategic stocks, and that supplies should be returning to normal within the next few days.
We would like to appologise to all those who have endured the Brulee shortage, but how could we forsee that the said visitors have our wonderful vanilla and sugary dessert for every meal?

Prime Minister Brown says the culprits are going through withdrawal due to the lack of decent French desserts in Kent. We hope this will serve them right and they will learn that creme brulee is not the only dessert.
