Easy, from the Uk 0800 (so call green numbers don't work) and i have no other standard telephone number to call xxxx

Hi SallyC, from memory, i believe this depends of your location but members more in the know will certainly be able to help. If you don't mind me highjacking your thread as i also have a similar question. We are being rewired this winter (the full works) and the ERDF meter will have to be switched from 3-phase to single phase supply. Anybody knows how much this also costs?? may thanks.

It all started with a line of good banter reply and some posts since have had valid comments but the main point still remains, one will never progress in another's country if one does not speak the linguo and this starts with the coiffeur, boucher, garagiste and pompes funebres. Errors will be made and hopefully corrected to ensure the path to language fluency leads to complete integration. I have done it when I arrived some place well up North from the Watford Gap 26 years ago, the barber was the place I feered most (one to one and polite conversation) .....and trying to remember the word "side-burn".

OP didn't mention they were made of concrete......Old and clapiers go with wood.....sorry. I was not suggesting Ebay for selling per say, it was mentioned as a reference to the dismantling operation.

Sorry for bringing the post to its original topic   :-)   i have bought and received (at work) my new demodulateur Fransat that I will try first thing Monday evening. Watch the space !!!.....hehehehe ....Watch ...The ...Space...!! Nearly as good as English humour !

Clapiers were built to last on-site and not be dismantled for sale on Ebay. Am afraid but there is little chance they were built with re-sale in mind. Having had a great-gran-mother breeding rabbits for meat and fur (i used to be in charge of cleaning!!!) the best way is to attach to a car with rope and pull (or use a heavy mass to bring it down). Burn it all or vermin might set in.

And I thought British people had the best humour !! Would you be referring to the same site that kicked me out for no reason whatsoever?? and my point remains, you could have asked for any amount of translation concerning your hair do and you would have had help. Don't huff, life is i am told far too short. Hey to make it up to you, I'll sing a song in Breton.

.....We, Sutton Utd beat you 4 -2 in the Amateur Cup semi final at St Andrews (15/3/69)....... You'll have to get up early now to bit them, FA Vase winner two year in a row!!!

I have issues with my upper case tab !!!

Post it ...before the dead line.

Doule negative does not harm....

You could also say "je doute ne pas etre de retour pour le 14 septembre"...or ///" je ne pense pas etre de retour pour le 14 septembre".

Easy on the word "ecurie"...this word is also used for a place that is not kept too well (ie, unclean)...."Qu'elle ecurie cet hotel !!"

Hey don't shoot the messenger !!! If the OP's wife has issues with the french language, it's not going to an English speaking hairdresser that is going to improve the situation. When i were a lad in my early days in Whitley Bay (North of the Tyne....) i had to battle with barbers to make myself understood...no french speaking barber around then and now. As a linguist, i strongly support the learning of a foreign language and errors do happen.....when the OP's wife gets sick of having the wrong colour highlights, she will eventually succeed in the language of the country they live in.

.....what is the difference between a bad hair -do and a good one??............2 weeks.

There was a tv programm on M6 a few weeks back. These fish born and bread in Vietnam carry all sort of bad things and should be banned from supermarket shelves. They are normally found in the value part of the freezer area.

...Vot'repos....

...and when you enter the waiting room area, do not forget to ask the question "Qui est la dernière personne arrivée s’il vous plait ? " In order to know your place in the pecking order…..had been the same since I last went to a French doctor in the early 80s.

Probably be harder to find one in Whitley Bay .....Yee kna yarsell these nee needs for that marra !

I can't believe what i am reading.......

Who said the walked on their feet ?????

Is this it ?? http://www.animalwebguide.com/Hornet.htm Hornet is frelon in French and my beekeeper friend traps them...they are leathal !

Talking of pictures, one would help.

I don't think your ferral cats will starve when you are away......

Just a standard pressurised large gas canister with the small cylindrical white button on the top (the one that goes PPPsssscccchhhhh when you press it) The best make is Beggon (or Begon). Whichever type of spray nozzle those cans are fitted with at the moment, you need to think of a system (a la Heith Robinson) that will discharge the gas as you lower the unit in the chinmey conduct. I have just had a look at the system on a bottle of RAID in the office and the mechanism is a tad more complicated than a simple press button but the principle remains the same.
