  1. [quote user="chessfou2"]Frexit - the wet dream of Brexiters, but more likely than the idea of Irexit! Astonishingly, Irexit is often mentioned by Brexiters (English) and about 3 people in Ireland.[/quote] Where did you get that one from? Not an everyday phrase I have heard.
  2. If you are happy with the tablet, changing to a bluetooth keyboard would be a good solution, I can recommend this one. Available from various outlets including Amazon. Bluetooth keyboard, Jelly Comb B046 Multi-device Wireless Keyboard.
  3. Maybe now like the UK, signatures are no longer required for parcels, recorded letters, prescription deliveries etc. due to Coronavirus.
  4. I have never used an epoxy grout, just a good quality waterproof grout. Powder or ready mixed.
  5. You may find some info on the site below, you will need to copy & paste the link. https://www.impots.gouv.fr/portail/international-particulier/methods-payment
  6. You can check out the website below. Plenty of English speaking agents on there, but I would still recommend using someone local, even if you have limited french. https://www.englishspoken.info/English_Info_Results6.php?Dept=Dordogne:24&Trade=Insurance
  7. I had a house that was renovated more than 30 years ago, that had push switches for the 3 way lights. The relay was behind a electrical cover plate on the wall. Les
  8. [quote user="NormanH"]The UK government has no compunction in disallowing those citizens who have been living in Europe for over 15 years from voting. Surely the right to vote is a "a basic expression of freedom", especially in something such as the referendum which concerned them so directly. [/quote] And can you vote in your chosen country that you now live in despite paying taxes and being resident in that country? Perhaps you should vent your anger towards the French govermment. Why would you have an interest, in having voting rights in a country you have left? Unless you want the best of both worlds.
  9. Try Duolingo, you can use the free course. Les
  10. Some info HERE regarding what happens to a written off vehicle or considered to be in a dangerous condition. Les
  11. DIY chains win Sunday case The Connexion Tuesday 29th October, 2013 TWO DIY chains have been allowed to open their Ile-de-France stores on Sunday by a court of appeal.Castorama and Leroy Merlin were initially ordered to shut after a case brought by rival Bricorama. Bricorama was forced to close on Sundays at the beginning of 2012 after the FO union took it to court.It argued that if it was forced to shut on Sunday, so should its rivals.[:)]
  12. Well, no, actually. Every season, every single petrol powered garden tool I own - three chainsaws, 2 strimmers, a hedge trimmer, a rotovator, a leaf blower and various mowers will either not start at all or run terribly if left on the old petrol from the previous summer. I am also currently rebuilding the engine of a motoculteur belonging to a friend who ran it flat out on old petrol despite it missfiring and ruined the engine internals. Drain the old stuff and put in fresh petrol and they all run perfectly. I agree, the modern unleaded fuels seem to go off very quickly, my Honda 4 stroke mower which normaly starts first pull, will not run with fuel that has been left longer than a couple of months. Les
  13. Your French insurer probably won't allow you to cancel, without proof of new insurance[:D] and providing you give them a contact address in France, you should be OK to drive in the UK until you get new insurance and registration. Les
