I suggest you visit or phone your local France Services office, they are there to help with any bureaucratic issues. https://www.ecologie.gouv.fr/france-services

After a longish spell in England, I had my Lloyds M/card blocked once because the "system" decided there was fraudulent use being made with it due to a fairly large grocery purchase in S France after driving there. Luckily we had several cards at that time and used another one. When I got around to calling them, my bank pointed out that on the back of the card there is a number to call to resolve such problems. They said it occasionally happens when a card is used for a largish transaction in a new, distant location after a period of not being used outside the UK.

If you had closer to normal intelligence you would know that "correct my grammar" was the reason for my edit, not an invitation for daft comments. If your post was not a complaint, it certainly had every appearance of being one. Idiots like you, who seem to spend their time looking for things to criticise rather than being constructive, are the prime reason for the mass abandonment of this and other forums. Me, I've had enough. Goodbye to all.

I am so sorry. She was always helpful, patient, and understanding.

To be fair, maybe you should be aware that the gag was pulled by the mods., who also promptly remove posts containing advertising links as soon a they are aware of them, and that FMG is not responsible for the actions you complain about.

I agree with Lehaut. The first course of action before diving into a legal case is usually to try to reach an agreement, and it may not be too late to do so.

I worked on offshore rigs in foreign countries for several years, but left the industry some time ago. I worked approximately six months per year, and commuted from England, and then from Spain, to other countries. I made sure I was recorded as spending less than the minimum time for tax liability in any country, which was usually 90 days in any 12 month period. Note that this is a rolling, not a specific 12 month period. As far as I know, tax liability in most countries still depends on the time spent there in any year. The best known exception to this is the USA, so the country of domicile should also be considered. I assume you have Googled "offshore workers tax advisor", which finds accounting companies, some of whom seem to be experienced enough. However, in my experience a specialised tax advisor is better than an accountant. I lost a lot of money following the advice of an English accountant. I eventually followed advice from Blevins Franks, but there are several others.

Best to ask your neighbours for recommendations for connecting your boxes. There is a school teaching French not too far from you, which you might find useful if you haven't learned enough French in 18 years here:- https://www.naturellementfrancais.com/

They occasionally come up on Leboncoin at very reduced prices. This one is the electric version of ours https://www.leboncoin.fr/velos/1977590218.htm

We have one car 27 years old and another 29 years old. If the battery is disconnected in the older car, all the calculated and stored corrections which have to be applied to the original settings for the fuel mixture and ignition timing etc. as the engine wears are lost, and the engine runs quite roughly for the next 30 to 50 km, until new corrections are established for specific driving conditions. For the newer car, only the memory for the electric window open and closed positions for "one button" operation are lost. These can be reset by a procedure I can never remember, but eventually reset themselves after a day or two. In any case, I use a MEMORY SAVER , which plugs into the lighter socket, to avoid any inconvenience if I have to disconnect either battery.

I've just realised you are looking at going northwards and eventually joining the A9 to Narbonne near Bram, which I wouldn't consider, especially in the middle of summer. You would go almost through Carcassonne, which I think would be a far more interesting place to visit than Narbonne, and the countryside is good around there, as mentioned. Both towns have a traffic problem, especially in summer. Maybe you like Autoroutes, but I stay off them when on holiday, as the cost is around 50% of the cost of the fuel I use, and one sees nothing except trucks and inferior restaurants and caffs in service stops.

I don't know what route you are looking at, but if I were going from Andorra to Narbonne I'd go via Perpignan - at least as far as the junction of the N116 with the N9. I refer to the old National (N) road numbers, which have been changed in many places since the handover of main roads to the Departments. Many are now labelled "D", but often have the same number or a slight variation of it, e.g. D6113 for the old N113. Quite often the old designation is still on many signs. Mappy gives the distance and time to Perpignan as 162km in 2h38 min, but if I were driving a people carrier on holiday in July I'd allow more than that.

The drive from Andorra to Perpignan, although we enjoy travelling that way to Spain and avoiding the more popular routes and motorways, is not going to be enjoyable for your family. I suggest you buy a paper map and look carefully at the roads around the area. I use an old one, Michelin 235, which covers this area particularly well on one page, and is still available from various sources.

If you disconnect the device or the battery this will be recorded, so the record of the car's movements will not be complete. As far as your insurance company could tell, you could be driving hundreds of kilometers whilst it is disconnected. Why don't you ask the company what the consumption is, and what they suggest? If this is a newish car, disconnecting the battery could also cause problems, and is usually not recommended. Check the car's handbook. A good reliable trickle charger is HERE . I have one in each of our vehicles, always connected to the battery, so we just open the bonnet to connect it with an extension cord.

We had buyers like that. So we kept what we could shift in our lorry, gave the rest to our farmer friend across the road, and left absolutely nothing, as they wished.

One must be careful everywhere in these woke times. I'm too scared to go to the UK, haven't been for nearly 14 years now.

Happy New Year to all those still logging in despite everything.

But how do you tell a competent professional from an incompetent one? I'd need more than some blurb on the back of a van.

They don't really have much of a life, though 😒

Well, you will at least know from your Army days that if you hear the gunshot, it missed you 😉

We always have or jabs administered by our local nurses when possible, as I think they need the small amount they are paid more than the pharmacie does.
