[Missing figures on tax forms]

I think they have corrected the ;doubling' issue, been caught out in the past!

[Declaring on line - where to put that you are the holder of an S1/E121]

Sue No.

These boxes are new and hopefully will prevent CSG being charged on your pensions. Previously your entries on 2047 made that clear (as mud?).

[Declaring on line - where to put that you are the holder of an S1/E121]

Box 8SH or 8SI on form 2042C. If you select 'Divers' it will appear for you.

[UK Bank Interest on tax form]

I find it useful to print the documents out (they are easy to find with google) and then use them as input documents when you go on line.

[french tax after return to UK]

Hasn't been 1.225 since June 2016. Hope your's was a typo otherwise as Sue says you're diddling yourself big time!

[Help with tax form please.]

re no 1: Unless you know otherwise leave the box as is. The number comes from last year's tax.

Also worth mentioning that if there are any non-french bank accounts, these need to be declared on form 3916. No financial details required, just name of bank and account numbers. Source of form not far from that given by David above.

[2TR or 2OP?]

Not exactly. You get a list of items you need to address which you tick. There is no mention of the actual form number (unless it has changed since last year?).

[lettuce]

I prefer mesh basket, but I haven't got one now. So it has to be spinner or shaking individual leaves by hand.

[2TR or 2OP?]

Somewhat confusing. We get form 2042 c pro rather than 2042C.It's entitled Professions non salaried. We have always had this even before registering as a professional ME. Don't quite know why...

[Cauliflower Cheese and other gratins etc]

Cantal Entre Deux or Cantal Vieux if you like it tart.

[Can you see Orange doing this?]

[Proof of Life]

I've got used to having to provide proof of life to my 4 pension providers annually, however we've just had some Argentinian guests in our CdH who have to provide POL every month (manually)!!

[There's a "lighter side" to Brexit?]

If only the politicians had half the imagination of those marchers....

[A few French homophones]

I live near to rodez. the z is clearly pronounced like an English z. Nearby is goutrens rhyming with hens, not goutron and also testet with a silent final t. Everything seems to be irregular!

[What is happening to the price of free-range eggs?]

I have three eggs for breakfast, but I save by not eating bread......?

[Divert Calls with SOSH]

Thank you. I can't get there now because my guests are watching the rugby and are chewing up the bandwidth. I'll try later..

[Divert Calls with SOSH]

I've not long ago downgraded my internet/phone from Orange to Sosh. Can you set up a 'call divert' from your fixed line to another number with Sosh? It was straightforward with Orange.

[Tha' is amaayzing!!]

I'm good to go where?

'Hello ,how are you?'. 'I'm good'. 'Are you also well?'

I'm beginning to get facetious....

[Tha' is amaayzing!!]

"I am good" instead of "I am well". Who is the best judge of whether I am good?

[Carte de sejour appointment - keep or cancel?]

Why does everyone write 'your' when they mean 'you're'?

[Four in a Bed - tv program]

In the next commune a 'bio' farm offers yurts at €51. They are in a stunning location and have the usual facilities including WIFI which adds to the Mongolian experience...!

[Four in a Bed - tv program]

I totally agree. Nonsense prices, but there must be punters willing to pay. I wouldn't be happy if I found our guests tearing the bed apart to see if they could find a stray hair. Last time I stayed in the UK it was over £100 for a night in a very ordinary room in a pub. Round here €60 for a couple with breakfast is the norm. But four in a bed is fun because it is so outrageous (and obviously edited for maximum effect!).

[Smart meters or linky]

You can see your daily consumption on a website - you need to set up an espace clientelle on ENEDIS, not your electricity provider. Instructions came with the bumph supplied when the meter was installed. Go to: www.enedis.fr/Linky

[Social Charges for an ME]

Well after 10 message exchanges online with the impots We finally had an acknowledgement indicating we were right and it was apparent that the previous responses had missed the points we were trying to make. The last response was the first to have a name attached and a title 'principal controller'

The moral - if you think they've got it wrong persevere!!!

[Suddenly Orange is great]

Well it was all going swimmingly, I couldn't believe it. However it's all fallen over again. I spoke too soon. Can't wait for Bouygue to up their signal here - I could use 4G - 100gb per month for half the price of Oranges 2.4 mb.

Hey Ho!
