    French members English speaking club Montlucon Auvergne

    in French Culture

    Posted

    I am not sure what part of the wood you have just crawled out of but firstly the word " pub " was not used it was " Bar" and as I recall there are thousands of bars in France where they serv mainly wine etc. The Club Anglaise I have referred to was formed 30 years ago in Montlucon by tbe French !! Chamber of Commerce especially for French local people to meet for English conversations to improve their knowledge . The membership has been for many years in the region of 50 to 60 mixed French persons and about 8 to 10 English . It was formed as you can see for the French not the Englsh. So before you go ranting off about you personal feelings in public . Check your facts

    Need a little brush up on your French? whilst enjoying the company of French members who started many years ago to form an English conversation speaking club. Today there are mainly French members but also several. Brits. The benefit is !!! that they in turn help Brits by speaking French with them. In addition to this, there is a fantastic social life. Twice a month they meet ( would you believe it ?) at the London Bar Montlucon l'Allier, in addition to which they have many social gatherings ie; Summer BBQ in a members home. A typical English Christmas lunch. Last year over 50 members participated . They have an English President Anthony who puts together several outings throughout the year. Brits are more then welcome to become members .

    Why can't I take advantage of investing in U.K. banks ?

    in French Finance

    Posted

    Sold one property in France  purchased a new property in another area of France and have some monies left over which we wish to invest in and English bank using their fixed interest rates over 3 years annual payment of interest.  We have contacted several U.K. banks including the one we have used for over 30 years and they all inform us that because we live in France with no U.K. address we are not able to take advantage of their offers.   My question ( as I have put to them all ) is WHY NOT ????  We are English with English passports with English Banks and it is not as if we are looking to borrow monies from them but rather to place a reasonable amount in thier coffers to be able to make bigger intersts from then they are offering.  Seems daft to me.  Does anyone out there have any knowledge as to why they will not accept our monies?

    Living in France U.K. banks will not accept investments !!!! Why ?

    We have sold one property and purchased another in France and are left with some monies we would like to invest on a 3 year fixed rate annual payments of interests and have been viewing various U.K. banks who are offering a little more then here in France but !!  when we approach them to open an account , all the high street banks we have spoken to advise us that because we do not live in the U.K. nor have a U.K. address, we are not able to invest in their offers.  We have two account with U.K. banks but neither of them are able to accept us for their fixxed rte investment facilities.  I can't believe tht they are not prepared to accept our monies, it is not as if we are borrowing from them but offering them additional monies to be able to ue for offering to others at higher rtes then they are offering investers.  Seems daft to me!!! Any simple reason why this is so ?

    Using Google can't trace any camping shops or  stores or infact any caravan sales rooms in the area near Bergerac or in the Dordogne.  When I use Google ie 'Camping shop or store in Dordogne.  all that comes up is camp sites.  Can't believe there are no shops aimed at the camping requirement in the area ( could be an opening there for some bright spark - me ? no too old !! )
