I see we have censorship on this forum now, two posts have gone from this thread without any explanation.

Lower case i’s - don’t you just hate that Americanism? i do!

[quote user="Nell"]I bought mine in Auchan on the fresh fish area and it was not particulary cheap at 13.95 a kilo... But - Never again !! [/quote] We bought it at Super U for 7€ a kilo. After finding out where it came from we will never touch it again!

[quote user="Albert the InfoGipsy"]Ah! but where's Whitley Bay?![/quote] If you had been to the Spanish City (tunnel of love) and had a dip in the sea on a cool summer night you would never forget it!

Thanks for that SD, I've been looking for a site that sells spares for a trailer I am building and your search suggestion came up with THIS which may be of use to the OP as well.

[quote user="londoneye"]Hi Sid No I didn't find the Lapeyre one I will have another look. We have always been happy with their stuff, especially the made to measure windows we had (necessity rather than personal choice), which were very good quality and really not that expensive. Will look again, thanks.[/quote] Why not just browse their catalogue HERE

I would rather hear about a free proxy server that worked.

Out of interest why on earth would you want to play home movies in the car? and why only 8Gb when the camera supports 32Gb on an SDHC card?

OR Google Translate which comes up with "You must download this PDF file on your computer, print and sign"

[quote user="pachapapa"]Le fioul domestique  supérieur : Chaque marque a le sien et ils se valent. Il apporte une légère amélioration dans la combustion du fioul / fuel domestique. Il minimise l'encrassement du conduits de cheminée et protège votre cuve contre l'encrassement. La différence de prix (15 à 25 € m3) est absorbée par un léger gain de consommation. [/quote] This still doesn't explain the difference, perhaps a heating engineer could clarify. I suppose it must have additives which help stop jet blockage but wonder if it is worth premium price especially when new jets are only about 15€ and we have one fitted at every service.

[quote user="pachapapa"][quote user="AnOther"]A cryptic reply which doesn't help the OP in the slightest [blink] [/quote] Let me be more explicit the green card in france is coloured green and consists of two green bits. Am I unique or does someone else have a vehicle matriculated in france with a green square stuck on their windscreen? [/quote] Yet another stupid, wind up response from pachapapa. The OP said they were "travelling to France in a couple of weeks" not that they lived in France.

Have a look HERE for more info and there is a link to download a leaflet.

Nice to see a thread resurrected – I wonder if WendyG  got the problem fixed in MAY or if she is still just listening to Sky TV?

[quote user="Gardener"] No different really from English speaking banks in France , they too are open to anybody but are designed to meet the needs of certain residents.[/quote] Can you direct me to one where I can get better terms and conditions than my French neighbour?

[quote user="Gardener"]What point would that be then? Banks offering a service that suits the requirements of some of their customers. No different really from English speaking banks in France , they too are open to anybody but are designed to meet the needs of certain residents.[/quote] Why would you then offer an account just for Muslims (or any other race/creed for that matter) with different rates to everyone else? It is obvious from your response you didn't read the details on the Lloyds website. Go overdrawn with a "normal" account and you incur charges of £20 a day. Do the same with a "Muslim" account and you are charged a flat £15 fee. That would be the point! Why not alter the rate for every account? Why call it a "Muslim" account? ".....until now their banking needs have been largely uncatered for and many British Muslims have often had to bank in a way that is against their principles.' It is against my principles to pay excessive charges to a bank!

Me-thinks you miss the point!

Have you still got an account at Lloyds bank? Perhaps it is time to become a Muslim in name only. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a788.asp

perhaps if you try to draw out more than 10€........................

Watch out for the Triffids tomorrow!

France: Children under 10 years of age are not allowed to travel in the front seat of a car unless they are a baby, that is 9 months old or under and weigh less than 9kg, but they must be in an appropriate baby seat (rear facing) unless there is an airbag fitted, when they are not allowed on the front seat at all. In the rear seats all children under 10 must be in the right restraint, if their weight is between 9 and 15kg a child seat and over 15 kg's a booster type seat. You can hire a seat from car hire firms but they are expensive and it is probably cheaper to bring your own.
