If the above is about HSBC there is a way round the problem assuming you have signed up for telephone and internet banking on your main account. Ring up the HSBC go through security code and press the options till you eventually reach a real person. Explain the situation and they should be able to transfer you to the call centre in Scotland which handles credit card registration. Explain the situation again to the credit card call centre and they should be able to take you through assisted registration/activation. They register then card and give you a the temporary password you must then change the temporary password on screen.
I believe that when you are asked for the extra level of security for unline purchases the first question is UK postcode so you are stuck in a loop.

Best zip since Sticky Fingers but would only hold half an hours visit to Pheonix

To be truely pedantic all agrements are verbal the problem is with oral agreements. However as there was not any consideration (you did not pay him anything) I do not think you have any hope.

There are loads of places in Europe which have farmed Ostriches including a litentious couple in the Dordogne. One of my most bizarre moments was a being on an express train through Germany and speaking german for the first time in 20 years with a mixed group of Dutch, South Africans, British and Germans. I remarked I had just seet an Ostrich in somebody's garden. Linguistic chaos then ensues while I try and explain that it was an big bird that cannot fly from the South of Africa not somebody from Linz Graz or Wein and how could I tell at that distance. Apart from visiting the German TV Channel Pro Seiben which produced one good German pun "We were going to call it Pro Sex but is not everybody" it was just about the only fun I had over that vastly illogical and over complicated piece of software whose name described its clients SAP.

Link to practical info in French on connection to a new house. What is the white box approxiamately 50 cms to the right of the drain pipe ?
Broadly you can have a 'builders supply' for an innitial period of upto 12 months and may be able to negotiate a 12 months extension. After that you are supposed to have compleated the instalation, have it inspected by an official from the CONSUEL and have moved to a full supply.
If you planned renovation is say 6 weeks hard graft in the summer each year you may be better off buying a decent sized generator.

Replace screw with a longer piece of rod. Push in till 'wings' are straight again and then pull out.

UK will probably be significantly cheaper but downsides are :
France has a restriction of 106 BHP / 100 CV so you will only receive a limited certificate of conformity.
If you are lucky - The manufacturer cooperates this will probably list the speedometer, headlamps and power as none conforming. Speedo can be dealt with by a swop of the incert card, headlamps will need replacing and the delaer may be able to change the chip or fit a restrictor so it meets the limit.
If you are unlucky you may get precious little help from the French and UK importers - particularly if the bike is a grey import from Japan.
Two links to another place where the topic is covered in much more detail :

David Scott Moncrief - Purveyor of Horseless Carriages to the Nobility and Gentry - Describes a similar story save they used a car, possible a pre-war Mercedes and wore luminescent skeleton suits to terrorise drivers on the Great North Road.

I don't know how SD found it but I think he is dead right. Their phone number 02 35 56 99 99 and if you plug that into the yellow pages you get the other end of 'Rue du Dr Patenotre'
Interesting article below :

Is there an existing doorway, what kind of roof and materials, plans available and approved, how close are the exisitng services, how good or bad is the ground, what electric - four sockets or a new level in the T de E because the existing one is full and room will be a utility room, 8 square metres probably not worth getting ready mix in if doing it yourself but probably worth it if employing a builder. I think € 1,500 a square metre might be optimistic.

[quote user="Chancer"]
Are the jigs adjustable for different risers and goings?
I ask because I aways knock up my own from scraps fo wood when starting each job, a purpose made one if it can withstand being bashed around might take up less space than my collection.
[/quote]
They are but the guys who made the stairs for our UK loft conversion also made new jigs for each job. Banister and stair rules are in 'Renover ou Contruire Sa Mason' and are about two pages long.

Very unlikely to be any formal attendance by clergy. Broadly speak to the staff and they will agree when and at what signal the body will disappear. I have only attended one cremation in France and was very glad an acquantance of the deceased had bought a copy of the King James Bible with them.

As I read it the insurance companies are seeking to claim the eruption is an Act of God and therefore excluded from their liability.

I have had 5 French plumbing fittings fail with pin holes stripped thread etc on less than 200 joints in France versus none on 500 joints on the UK. NB none of these were caused by soldering versus braizing.

Just to push it up the list

Remote possiblity post code has been changed / delisted. What was the post town ?

I would have a look at the insurance position as well.

I have heard of CUs / Planning being refused by a commune because of the burden of charges from EDF - nb this is anecdotal I have not read the law on this point

Odd though it seems German website seems best bet sometimes even within France

There is posh - never seen tape with instructions before. Tape pulls away from the celing as the glue cannot cope with the weight of the filler and movement when applying it. Try a test peice and if their are problems try ancouring tape with filler every 50 cms leaving to dry before applying first coat.

[quote user="Patf"]It turned out that it was an accidental shooting by the army type who had come to arrest the russian refugee.
I don't think there was any hint that Sam will go back to being Foyle's driver. She has agreed to go and work for the young man she met at the hotel, who runs a boarding house in Hastings. He had worked for the intelligence service at Bletchley Park during the war.
I was interested to learn about these white russian refugees - I knew the story, that they had fought on the german side against the red russians, and were shot by therussians after the war. But didn't know that many of them tried to hide out in the UK.
[/quote]Typical of Stalen if you came back from the German side then irrespective of circumstances you were treated identically.

Too many years visiting French hotels where they were normally bent incontinent or totally non functioning. I normally damm the expense and fit a bonde de clapet. Expensive but a small price to pay for knowing you will never have to grapple behind the basin again

As far as I am aware if you had a connection before than no certs or info to EDF.
If you did not have a connection before you still need an inspection from the CONSUEL.

"I would hazard a guess that virtually everyone is pleased with Browns treatment of their Pension Schemes and investments.No blame can be laid at his door as it is always Global but his departments favourite saying must be" Lessons will be learnt" Let's hope soon "
I can only assume the above was ironic. Brown's changes to treatment of tax credits to pension schemes was the great big brass screw on the coffin of final salary pension schemes and with it company funding of pensions. No personal impact on me. I suspect the Tories dare not make too much of that because it would lead for calls to reverse the change.
