I think the most effect will be left until the result of the BREXIT referendum in the summer (?) is known, or "anticipated" by those in power (the Bankers and Forex gurus)Now what will David and George put their money on ?Not all of it of course that would be hazardous. Poor dears.[Www]

Cut the head of a live chicken and see whether the body runs clockwise or anti-clockwise, throw your grannies false teeth in the same direction and if the top row faces east then the euro will weaken.[:D]

[quote user="Chancer"]
I listen for the beeps in the dial tone.
A usefull feature is *351*# which will block an unwanted caller, I have blocked thousands but beware, you cannot unblock one when you cut off a family member by mistake you can only delete the whole list, if you have an unwanted caller leave an an ansswerphone message be really carefull that they were the last caller before blocking them, dont block a call that you didnt answer, you will end up blocking the last one that you did, probably a friend or family.
[/quote]Does this feature work with Orange and also does it work with "number withheld" or "out of area" calls which are a right pain in the ar$e -
I don't understand the link between "increased income" and these 2 taxes. They are based on the property value and local tax rates.The only income related tax would be the taxe d'habitation as you can get a reduction for low income or complete exoneration if you are over 60 and low income.

[quote user="woolybanana"]Surely, the breakdown is the proof. Some part of the kit is not up to the minimum life expected of two years?[/quote]There is nothing in the law that states that the life expectancy is 2 yrs, and the fact that the manufacturer only guarantees the product for 1 yr then the case is closed !

[quote user="woolybanana"]If it has died within the two year period, it means that it was defective at the time of purchase, surely?[/quote]Thats going to take some proving, isn't it !

Thats very interesting Lehaut as I purchased the tablet from the same on-line company so maybe worth a poke.However the law does state that the article has to have not conformed to that sold at time of sale see quote below"Lorsque vous achetez un produit, le vendeur doit vous garantir contre ses défauts de conformité. La garantie s'applique à condition que le défaut existe à la date d'acquisition. Vous avez 2 ans pour agir et bénéficier de la garantie, sans frais"As the product did conform to the spec as supplied and just happen to "die" after 15 months the law is not applicable as it reads.

[quote user="halfblind"]I want to ask guidance from those on this forum who maybe have gone through the claims against guarantees of goods sold in France.I have a tablet computer which has just stopped working - dead. It is less than 2 yrs old so my belief is that the statutory guarantee for goods should come into play, in other words it is still under guarantee.However the manufacturers guarantee states it is only covered for 1 yr from date of purchase.The product was purchased on-line so before I get in touch with the SAV of the supplier I wanted to know where I stood legally with respect to the guarantee period.Any one out there any input ?Thanks in advance.[/quote]After information gleaned from another forum it appears that I am not covered as the product did conform to that advertised at time of purchase, so its outside the manufacturers guarantee period.By the way, its a Toshiba ! Another €250 down the pan ! But on a more positive note it only cost €0,52 per day from date of purchase.So the glass is half full [;-)]

Conspiracy theory #1All a cunning plot by Clarkson and his merry sidekicks to get out of their contracts with maximum exposure before accepting a lucrative offer from Sky channel.If the "Top Gear" name and logo are owned by the BBC then what title the new adventures ?Answers on a postcard to win your £5 (joke)[Www]

Well as France and UK have nuclear warheads as a "deterrent" we could always bomb Putin and Russia back to the stone age, along with the rest of Europe.What price renewing Trident ? Total rubbish !

At the end of the report it states that 2 x £150,000 was paid as a down payment by Mitchell.Wonder where this money came from ? Hopefully not public purse.Horrible man

[quote user="Jonzjob"]Sorry to come in late to this discussion. Just found it.Probably unwelcomed advice too, but if you are going to look after other peoples pools Halfblind, would it not be an idea to get a half decient pool water tester?I only look after my own pool, but I have a LaMotte Clolor Q Pro7 tester shown here http://www.lamotte.com/en/pool-spa/digital-testing/colorq/2057.html . The tablet version because it's more accurate than the drops that change density with temprature. More expensive than yout little tube you chuck drops in and do an exact approximation with? But wouldn't it be worth it with customers health at stake?We had our liner changed last June because the old one was leaking. Showing lots of wrinkles and after I had made a hole in one corner and pumped it out a few times and got peed off with trying to keep up with the changes to the water chemistry, we bit the bullet and got an armoured jobbie fotted. The rest of the summer was a treat with no water chemistry problems at all![/quote]I am not looking after other peoples pools, was asked at last minute to open this pool.I have looked after my own 2 pools for over 15yrs using just the simple pool testing for total chlorine and pH balance with no problems. A fancy tester is only going to tell you when you have dropped the ball and forgotten to carry out checks on a regular basis. I dont think your water chemistry problems were affected by a change of liner, just inattention in previous periods.

My original post was really a tongue in cheek reference to the poor choice of music, not to start a debate on UK or French broadband service.Oh well !

just watched a HM Govt publicity on Channel 4 regarding hi-speed broadband roll out and how everything will be better - more innovation possible, greater connectivity and how we as Britain will lead the world once again - HURRAH !All played to a rock song background by one of our great British groups - The Who - and the Title chosen ?Yes , you've guessed it - "Won't get fooled again !"Whose brilliant idea was that then ? In touch mandarins in the civil service ? Old Etonian mates running a advertising company ?You've got to chuckle !

[quote user="CSV"][quote user="halfblind"]Does anyone really think that France will pay up ? They would be foolish to do so IMHO.[/quote]Indeed, BUTThe French military captured the pirates on the Somali coast in two operations, after the hostages had been released for ransoms of $2.1m (£1.3m) and $2m. [/quote]Agreed, France does pay for hostage release. This helps the local economy in third world areas. ;-)
