For heaven's sake @Independent, do you have no subeditors? This piece has 'breaks' for 'brakes', 'donut' for 'doughnut', 'cemented' for lord knows what, 'bathroom' for 'toilet' and 'airplane' for 'aeroplane'. independent.co.uk/travel/inspira…

French Government deeply in debt; various proposals for radical economies rejected by self-interested legislative groups; Head of State powerless to impose his will; ministers proposing reforms regularly sacked or dropped. Can't help feeling France has been here before.

Restaurateurs! If you make me scan a QR code instead of coming to my table to take my order, I may have to stay, but I will not come back. I will not forget and I will not forgive.

Can we get this clear? 'Less than 10 items' is perfectly correct grammatically. It means 'a number less than 10'. 'Fewer' works as well but it is not 'better' than 'less'. 'Less items' would be wrong, of course (like 'less people' which you often hear).
