  1. Statement on Icelandic volcanic eruption: Friday April 16, 1445 (UK time) The cloud of volcanic ash continues to move south through the UK and the eruption in Iceland continues. Following a review of the latest Met Office information, NATS advises that restrictions preventing flights in controlled airspace over England and Wales will remain in place until 0700 (UK time) tomorrow, Saturday 17 April, at the earliest. From 1900 (UK time) today ATC restrictions will be lifted in a large part of Scottish airspace including Scottish airports, Shetland, Orkneys and also Northern Ireland. On this basis, North Atlantic traffic can also operate to/from points in this airspace. Please note these arrangements do not mean that all flights will operate. Anyone hoping to travel today or tomorrow should contact their airline before going to the airport. We are looking for opportunities when the ash cloud moves sufficient for us to enable some flights to operate under individual coordination with ATC. Some aircraft were able to operate at Manchester this morning, although restrictions are now reapplied to Manchester. We hope there may be some opportunity from the north into Newcastle after 0100 (UK time) tomorrow - Saturday. We will review further Met Office information and at 2030 (UK time) we will advise further arrangements. In general, the situation is dynamic and subject to change. We continue to work closely with airports, airlines, and the rest of Europe to understand and mitigate the implications of the volcanic eruption.
  2. He did think of this actually - I thought it was a good idea, he was a little bit wary but I think it was a confidence thing. Also not sure what insurances and extra red tape would be required
  3. Wow, thank you! You've been so helpful!
  4. [quote user="Pierre ZFP"] The last time this particular volcano popped its top, it went on for 12 months [:(] [/quote] In the 18th century this volcano erupted and caused "the sun to be blocked out in Iceland for three full years"!!!
  5. Thanks Lisa, We'll be about halfway between Angouleme and Bordeaux but he's keen to get into long-distance haulage so Toulouse wouldn't be too far at all.
  6. Thanks Twinkle. That's exactly why the ideal scenario would be for him to find work now that could continue when we move, or secure employment before we go. I'm not going with an idealised holiday-maker view of the place. :)
  7. He has a digital tacograph, does anyone know if this still needs to be replaced with a french equivalent? Thankyou Lisa :)
  8. He has sent his CV to Norbert Dentressangle today so fingers crossed something will come up to help us on our way :)
  9. I think by drivers card you mean tacograph, which is another good point. Will his UK tacograph need replacing with a french one too if he goes for FIMO and a french company? So much to consider (and pay for!)
  10. A client of mine(ours - my company) has a french bank account and they transferred hundreds of thousands of euros to an Ilse of Man company on my authority alone. Having never heard of me or my company and taking my word only that we were his financial advisers. Dodgy stuff!
  11. Being close to my parents is a simplified version of our reasons :p Thanks for all the suggestions, I have renewed optimism :) We'll both be working, I will be helping my Mum to start off her new business and eventually running that full time with her but I also will have a job at a local bar/touristy artificial beach thing and will be doing some french/english lessons on the side if possible while I finish my OU degree, then I hope to become a registered translator, but that's a few years off. If he could find work from England then it seems like that would be the easiest option to start with, but I don't think we'd be happy with that being a permanent solution, he'll need to learn the language to be happy there I'm sure. We were hoping to go next year...
  12. My grandad died after a long illness and although sad, it was a relief because he was finally free. 6 weeks later my fiance was killed and had been reported missing for two weeks before we found him, he was nearly buried as someone else. Obviously that death was devastating to all that knew and loved him. We didn't love my grandad any less it was just that it was a release for him, whereas my fiance's death felt more like he had been stolen than. So of course it depends on the person and the circumstances.
  13. lol! C'est bien, tu est ici donc on peut causer.
