I agree with you.I should have explained my concerns a bit better I think.

Its not the inquiry,but the questions that were being asked about the use of tasers.What were the police supposed to do?It seems to me they are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

I have been watching UK news about the siege.I cannot believe the police are to be investigated.Is it me?

I know this has been aired before.We are both covered until 1st Jan next year on the E106.Then we need to get 100% cover until Sept 2012 when I am 65 and my wife is 61.The thing is had my wife been able to get her state pension in June next year we would have been ok.My wife enquired about 100% Insurance,was told not a problem,about 3.5k euros.Insurance chap said because we have both paid enough contributions (43 & 39 yrs),we could get E121 early.Rang Newcastle, a definite NO. Has anybody experienced similar feedback/

[quote user="Joe"]I agree with you about the language.We have been here almost a year and we are trying very hard to learn the language.We found the admin bit,ie the car and medical process etc not to bad.I am thinking positive for the future.Enjoy![/quote]

I do not know of any hotels in the area,but my wife and I visited Oradour once.VERY moving indeed.We did not see all of it.We did buy the official booklet describing the terrible massacre which made sad reading.

I purchased a spray called Fertiligene from my local Magazine Verte.It kills Aphids,Mite etc.Worked ok on my Peppers and Aubegines in the greenhouse.Zapped the little devils overnight.A member of staff at the store said it is spray that they use.Hope this info' is helpful.The spray is in a green bottle.

Mine are growing here in 56 its slugs and snails that are the problem.I have had to use pellets.Weather has improved over the last few days.

I went to a cavalcade in Guemene sur scorff yesterday afternoon.I have to say it was very impressive and very colourful.It was our first since arriving here.There were no police at all which I found strange,unlike the UK of course.I take it that all the carnivals here are equally impressive. We have a Medieval weekend in 5 days so its all happening here.

I thought it was a good game.I hope they play like that for the Ashes.

Are we going to win the 20/20 cup?

We had 3 weeks of good weather.I think that was spring.Been cold and cloudy ever since.The veg are confused,they have slowed up.

My wife and I moved here last July and took out the top up insurance.My cover will last until Jan next year.I am 63 this year so will I be covered until I am 65 when I believe I shall be in the French system.

If for nothing else that man should NEVER be forgiven for robbing private pension funds mine included.How any of his voters who have a pension can swallow that is beyond me.

I think a PM has droped himself in the xxxx .But I could be wrong.

There are some very nice resturants in Pont Aven which is near the coast.It can get very busy at the peak of summer.Hope this has been of help.

Welcome to France.I arrived last July.Before I left UK I made enquiries on this Forum and I received the same answer as you.As a result I purchased a 6x4ft greenhouse before I left and had it shipped over with the household furniture and a flat pack kitchen.

The debate is on Glegg is holding his own.So is Dave.The one who STOLE ''my''pension is babbling as per usual.

Thanks for the link.That is the one we have been trying.When applying for a postal vote etc,it asks for a post code which of course will be rejected.I may be having a senior moment,but I cannot fathom it out.

Could anybody advise how you find the correct website to ask for information how you go about voting.

Sorry about the pool.I meant a very small pool.Is it possible to buy small solar panel systems for heating in my case a small greenhouse?In the past I have used gas in late winter/early spring.Cost in UK was close to 100 pounds.

Has anyone any info on the above.I have been told there are small wind turbines that will fix to the chimney and small solar systems that can up the temp in swimming pools by a couple of degrees. Are grants are available?Cheers.

I cut down 28 Lyandi last year .Ok

I agree with you.We have all had gardens for years,but when we first arrive here its all a learning curve.I have tried to adapt to the condittions here.
