HiRoses are interesting the root stocks are selected to pump up sap to certain heights you can get most flower heads on bush.standard and climbing roots, which rose do you like For a small standard I think any variety can be trained as you wish

HiI think you will find it hard to find workAs for the Pyrenees a good choice the best end is the west Pays Basque or Bearn the the East Aude and Pyrénées-Orientale is harsh and unfriendly The Dordogne and Correze are OK but to many swallows ie part timer Brits which piss off the local FrenchI started of in 1996 with a few quid a house to renovate and as a back up job the possibility to be a relief coach driver for Euroline at Brive but for me it worked out well Renovate your full time home probably 2 years and 3 years later sell it at a profit do it again and again any spare cash pay voluntary into the UK pension system The best of luck

HiYou have caught me out I am not grumpy let alone living now in that terrible place Aude In the old days you could see me on a pub table dancing with a pint in hand trousers down toilet paper up my bum on fire doing the dance of the fiery arseholes I am now off to see my old Army mates last seen 30 years ago to honour the deaths of my old regiment in NE Italy 100 years ago Its in a couple of weeks hopefully the passes near mount blanc are clear I made love to my wife many years before my father died but it was a place both my father and I since a child knew and loved very muchPS Making love in a field with the grass, smell ,blue sky and insect ,bird, sounds/songs around is heaven best try it I still do

Thank you for your replies interesting responses I hope when I die my requests in my will, will l take place I love France and its people especially the Basques but I wish that my are ashes are scattered at an old British Iron age fort where I made love to my wife many years ago and my fathers ashes remain

I asked the question because so many people think France is brilliant, Its not I have lived here permanently since 1996 The winters are cold and the amount of time paperwork to do anything goes on and on Yes its a Great country but life is not that easy but no chance of me leaving happy to die here

I have to admit the Aude valley on route to Perpignan or Andorra is geologically spectacular but its the poor decrepit villages on route most houses and shops are in decayI did enjoy visits to Carcassonne out of season
-
I lived in 19 Correze close to the border Most of the Brits said they lived in 24 but although the villages looked the same, they were still both CrapThe Brits are in 19 ,24 and 46 because the French could not find work in the 70's and left the areas they were poor areas hence cheap prices In the old days 1996, my first home was 24,000 ff for two houses and a hectare of land £24.000, how things have changed

Kong wrote Great thing about bleach from an eco point of view is it breaks down and therefore doesn't do long term damage like salt/vinegar mixes do.Not convinced can you show evidence for this idea its eco friendly the weeds will not agree salt and vinegar are natural products, bleach aintWonder what the snails worms etc think as they burn to death

The first prerogative of any government is to protect its people I suggest that means supporting a a viable arm force at all times If in need all andy pandy poofdeywoofeders need to enroll to support its nationIt will be good to identify individuals who are prepared to act in different rolls aggressive or supportive or even non participants for future national military force

A great idea about time youngsters learnt discipline
