  1. UK Postcodes strat with a 2 letter code indicating normally post town. In some cases Fy = Fylde = Flat area round Blackpool they may not be instantly clear to people without local knowledge. They are then followed by digits which give the approxiamate area within the post town. Then thee charracters which lable the address to within about 20 dwellings.

    I believe most French codes are two digits for the Department, followed 1 digit and two zeros. Does anybody have a post code which does not end in 00 ?

    I must get out more
  2. I am with papachapa on this one. I think Longwave / DAB split on Radio 4 is that one of them covers move cricket but the other continues with scheduled broadcast.

    For anything more than Radio 4 I think you would need a foof mounted exterior antenna in 53 and even would probably have problems.
  3. Using an 80 cms dish in the Gironde I have 95% strength and 90% quality. On the dozen or so set ups I have done over the last 15 years, moves friends etc, I have always ended up at 80% plus. I take a portable TV, power, digibox and a short lead up to the roof or leave them on the ground so that I can see them. You need to move the dish by the thickness of a piece of paper and count to 20 each time you move the dish or skew.

    Can you check your box at a freinds house

    and vice versa ?

    Can you try another co ax cable ?
  4. I cannot see that the process is any different. Depending on age of car first hurdle may be getting a European Certificate of Conformity. Only good news is that I believe the factory is still in existance and making Ford Kas and Fiat 500s

  5. [quote user="Department71"]Interesting question, our neighbour had an aerial fitted professionally a few years ago when he had analogue. He had problems when the transmitter went digital, I took a look in his roof at the aerial, never seen one like it before, it wasn't the normal one I am used to, (long arm with reflectors at the end pointing to the transmitter) it was something else,  it looked like a flat plate wire mesh pointing vertically. Heavens knows what type it was.
    Yours should be ok if it's "normal" and strong enough for the area.

    [/quote] Normally used in locations where there is a high risk of interference from other local trasmitters I think. So pretty unlikely in rural France. Satcure have descriptions of them
  6. The winters after the First and Second World Wars were particularly bad. Krakatoa had a measurable impact on the weather for couple of years after the eruption. Have no idea how much explosives are being used in Afganistan but suspect they might be enough to have some effect
