[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.

[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.

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

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

[quote user="cooperlola2"]One of the real advantages of French taxation is that we have access to someone local to discuss the matter. When I lived in Kent, my tax was dealt with in Bootle! So I drove the few miles to Mamers, and within 20 minutes of turning up was given a polite hearing, which resulted in a bit of staging of the 3k euros. Hard to fault their attitude, frankly.

[quote user="Jay"]Took us almost 3 weeks to get an E106, 2 weeks to get an E121 (S1) and 10 days for a CEAM (valid for 5 years), although we had an attestation within 3 days. Some people's information is so out of date it's not worth them posting . How long has it been? I would think if you have not had a response within 10 days it is time to get in touch and find out what is going on.[/quote] This is from the current Amelia website.

"Hi everyone, can anybody tell me what the rules in France are relating to outside pipework ie (sink/waste) being connected to the outside of your house are please." I did exactly what you are proposing 10 years ago, never had a problem. If the pipes are run correctly, nothing should stay in the waste pipe.
