  1. Well, seeing as Plan A, the referendum, was designed to tie the UK to the EU forever its not going very well is it? Plan B is Mrs May's horrendous deal which she is sticking to like a limpet, and is so awful, in the hope presumably that staying in will seem like a god-sent to everyone. The voting public, who are permanently fed a diet of how stupid they are, have seen the ruse coming and are none too pleased, to put it mildly. Now we await Plan C, named  Plan B because Plan A never happened of course.
  2. We had a disjointeur/main cut out switch go on us. It was hypersensitive to everything at the end. So we just replaced it and everything is fine now.
  3. [quote user="Rabbie"][quote user="blondie"]Our local small dairy farming family is doing ok I think. They get over 60,000 a year in subsidies. You wouldnt know to look at them or the farm though. :} [/quote]Don't know if you live in France or the UK but English dairy farmers are really suffering at the moment and many have gone out of the business in the last few years[/quote]  I thought this thread was about fraud and bad accounting in the French system but for clarification I should have probably said  "over 60,000 euros".
  4. Or email Edf, enclose a scan of the letter and ask them if they know anything about it.

    I think what that near neighbour says should be taken with a pinch of salt in the future. Just smile and nod and then do nothing. Some of the locals can be a little eccentric or just plain batty at times and they like nothing more than a good wind-up.

    Charcoal biscuits are a good remedy for it but I am not sure if you can get them here. We just hold our noses and say ewwww you smelly dog and he slinks off to contaminate elsewhere.
  9. I love my mobile but then I use it 95% of the time for texting. I skype for friends and family and the house phone is definately set to answer machine otherwise I would spend a lot of wasted time saying bonjour to a blank line and life is too short for that.
  10. I grow carrots and lettuces in mine.
  11. We have a Chaffoteaux Fluendo instant hot water heater running off of propane gas. Lovely hot water in kitchen and 2 bathrooms whenever. We run it on the standard size propane bottles and use, at most, 6 a year which is under 180 euros a year. Very economical.
  12. [quote user="JeanS"]I paid out faxe fonciere online yesterday - just ignored the bit amount setting up an account. I've had an email confirming payment,so hopefully it worked.[/quote] Me too and paid as normal. I thought it was smoother than usual actually and email in seconds. :}
  13. Good riddance. As to working again , he probably doesn't need to.
  14. Whatever happened, it is for the best. Perhaps now they can concentrate on the football and put the trouble behind them. I think its time for a clean sweep anyway.
