Pasty please. :)

There are now two forms, workers have to carry one signed by their employer explaining about the job the are doing. https://mobile.interieur.gouv.fr/content/download/121666/976912/file/Justificatif-de-deplacement-professionnel.pdf

The reality programme that has been good entertainment but makes me cringe when it comes to the fine details of rules and regulations, not to mention a non-stop stream of U.K. tradesmen might not have Tom or a Harry but relies on a Dick in the form of Mr Strawbridge. Time after time they have made it appear to be so simple to do just about anything when it comes to both renovating property and running a business. I wonder how many others have taken that at face value.

I’m wondering if they’re including routiers when they say that all restaurants must close. If road haulage grinds to a halt that will mean shortages of more than hand gel and toilet paper.

Why would you want to? Your vehicle classes will be transferred to the French one.

The posts I saw were all linked by the word Fax.

I’m sorry to hear this bad news as losing things through robbery is terrible. I have learnt something through this thread though, I had never heard of people taking keys and valuables to their bedrooms at night before.

If the exchange portal is like the one used in preparation for a no deal Brexit you will have to upload a photo or scanned copy of your CdS. There will be no need to quote it’s number.

[quote user="Alan Zoff"]I use subtitles where available - many programmes do not have them. What I find even more useful is to plug a small bluetooth transmitter into the tv headphone socket. The sound is then sent directly to my bluetooth headphones, or to the hearphones, whilst others can listen normally via the tv loudspeakers.[/quote] That’s a great idea.

It’s an odd thing to compare. Different households’ needs and consumption vary enormously. What shall we compare next? Our annual consumption of Marmite?

That’s a shame. I enjoyed her posts and the comparisons that her before and after experience allowed her to make. :)

[quote user="NickP"]Not when people are paying there not. If they were, thousands of ex-pats couldn't watch East enders.LOL Although many don't pay, Sky won't stop them as if they did they would lose lots of others who do pay.[/quote] The broadcasting rules and regulations are very tight. They affect the right to broadcast. The individuals who act outside the law and receive programmes outside the area the broadcaster is licenced to broadcast is something else.

[quote user="Lehaut"] Since we downsized from our old farm house in the countryside, (car for every shop visit) to a flat in town, we have rediscovered the simple pleasure of walking to the shops to buy lunch or dinner. ![/quote] It’s not always as straightforward as that. I often visit my aunt who lives in a town whereas I live in a rural location. However my nearest shops, including a supermarket are nearer to me than hers are to her.. she always drives to pick up bread, I often walk or cycle. The cling film and foil that I brought to France almost seven years ago are still going strong in a kitchen drawer. I don’t think that I’m qualified to recommend one over the other.

Broadcasting rules and regulations are very tight.

I hate e-cards.

My daughter uses Starling and really rates it highly. It was particularly useful when she was working in Switzerland. I looked into getting one but as they are only available to UK residents I tried Revolut instead. I found it really clunky to use and closed the account after about one day.

Why are you still posting old information in this thread? Applications for the CdS UE are irrelevant and applications for the new card will be through either the ‘no deal’ portal that was open recently or the portal that will open in July.

Yet again CT is muddying the waters by quoting from the dim and distant past on a subject that has undergone a huge change. Only the very recent information is of any relevance whatsoever.

[quote user="alittlebitfrench"]Sprichst du Englisch ?[/quote] du? Are you sure that’s appropriate?

Cruise control is one of my pet hates. It causes drivers to pay less attention to their driving, it causes tailgating and as pointed out above it stops drivers adjusting their speed to the actual road conditions. It’s easy to activate or deactivate but for some reason most drivers who use it want to set it and leave it set. I use an audible bleep in my cars that warns me when I’ve exceeded the speed limit by about 10%, I find that helps me.

He/she has a nasty habit of writing false facts about Germany too ALBF. Personally I would take everything posted by CT with a big pinch of Salz.

As I understand it you are correct. After 31st January we lose our voting rights.

[quote user="Cathar Tours"]Wooly's description is correct. "oversteer [oversteer] VERB (of a motor vehicle) have a tendency to turn more sharply than intended. "it was very difficult to drive when the car was oversteering" NOUN the tendency of a vehicle to turn more sharply than intended. "straightforward handling which gives just a hint of oversteer" However more modern power assisted systems have got over this by feeding in "difficulty" thus reducing chance of oversteer. The biggest change was the move to electric power steering because the anti lock breaking sensors and ESP (or ESC if you prefer) not only stop skidding (which it won't stop in a tight turn anyway) but combined with other wheel sensors can almost remove the possibility of this problem. It can actually cut engine speed till control is regained automatically. By that I mean it won't happen by accident but if you really want to make the car under or oversteer you can. Oversteer is normally but not always confined to front wheel drive cars where as understeer is normally although again not always confined to rear wheel drive cars.[/quote] Absolute crap. Oversteer is to do with the chassis setup and the power train, steering input is a secondary consideration. Where did you get your definition from? A child’s guide to motoring terms? I have two cars that have a tendency to under steer and if I was freewheeling around a corner I would have to use the steering more than appeared to be necessary. However if I was driving the car around around the corner both can be encouraged to oversteer and their attitude can be altered without extra initial steering input. They however react very differently to one another; in one the line can be tightened by accelerating briskly, in the second the power has to be removed abruptly. In the first the chassis is tuned to turn in whereas the second relies on what is known as lift off oversteer. One is a mid engined rear wheels drive car, the other a FWD ‘hot hatch’ In reality these are manoeuvres more suited to the track than the public road. In most situations both cars are agile enough to be driven around corners smoothly without fuss. Badly designed power steering systems might prove too light for some drivers causing them to steer into a corner too sharply but that is not oversteer, it’s bad driving.m

[quote user="woolybanana"]CT, power steering on small cars causes oversteer because it is so light. Many people who have these cars have accidents precisely because they cannot manage it. Better it were heavier so needed effort and was easier to control.[/quote] I think you are using a strange definition of oversteer. The term has very little to do with the steering itself.
