Anyone know if there is an French online site like THIS UK site that sells cheap washing machine spares. I need a pump like the one in the link.

You don't have to fly with Ryanair of course. Why not fly Airfrance, for example Poitiers to London £435 each way.

[quote user="Georgina"]Well how come I can pay anything in euros in France with a sterling card? Sorry am I not understanding you here?? [/quote] Now don't answer back - don't you know No 42 knows the answer to everything!! Seriously though, you have to be ultra careful when booking with Ryanair. I would have probably been caught out by that, thanks Pickles.

OK mom

[quote user="cooperlola"] I spent a lot of money on my version of Office (XP Pro) and I resent the fact that it doesn't function properly any more.[/quote] I don't understand why your version of Office doesn't work with 7. I am using my old Office suit with windows 7, no problems at all. Your address book from Outlook Express can be imported into Office Outlook which is far superior to OE anyway.

moonpig.com is pretty good

[quote user="Jimmy"][quote user="powerdesal"]I am running Win 7 on the new laptop, It came that way even though I would have preferred XP or even Vista. [/quote] Windows 7 is far superior to XP. If you have a Toshiba laptop the problem will be the "pinch" facility. Info on the Toshiba forum HERE [/quote] I THINK the Acer also has the same pinch facility. I suspect you will have to right-click the Synaptics Pointing Device icon and select Pointing Device Properties then disable pinch. Otherwise you will just have to learn to use the zoom facility properly. I think you will find most people using win 7 are really happy with it. XP was good but Vista should have been scrapped rather than released it had so many bugs!

That post was over a week ago. Weather forecast for next week looks good at present.

[quote user="krusty"]So what do other forum members think , keep savings in sterling or euros ?[/quote] What savings would that be then? Do you mean the money we have used to keep bread on the table for the last 3 years?

Wow, golden oldie http://jokeoftheday.wordpress.com/2006/07/23/joke-of-the-day-aaadd-age-activated-attention-deficit-disorder/

Last lot I bought were 19p for two (buy one get one free), they only had bayonet fitting though.

If you type "leather restoration" into Google it comes up with a whole host of helpful websites. Have I seen the suggested use of Google before on this forum?

Wife says to be destitute she has some fancy boots. What's wrong with sardines anyway?

Well be blowed, I never seen the timezone thinggy before. Thanks Clair. Must admit you are a nicer Mod than the other one!

[quote user="Mareille"]And if you go to your personal settings and alter your timezone settings then you can have everything in European time [/quote] You can? I presume you are talking about personal settings for this forum and not windows? Would you mind explaining how you do that?

[quote user="Pads"]Thanks for your replies its the plymouth Calais route Im going on ...[/quote] Which ferry company sails Plymouth to Calais?

This is a French Forum, Living France - yet on British Summer time? Perhaps it is a bit like Brittany Ferries "time on board is British time" - Why?

Who cares! The only thing I would like to see is a stronget £ so I get more € at the end of the month from my UK pension.
