Yes it is easy to get round paris, i go on the N104 to the A6 you just have to look out for your road signs and the nutters on bikes.The best times are usually after rush hour at night say after 7pm and early in the mornings say befor 5am.The weekends are best as less trucks on the road and early sunday is great only takes me about 40 min.

I did a lot of looking before i bought a husqvarna 365 and am very happy with it.Chain tensioning is a simple job but for me buying any piece of equipment is about taking advice, research and then personnel preference.

We paid a deposit into the notaires account prior to the sale and both parties signed on the same day.We all then went back to the house for a glass of bubbly,nice and friendly. Cannot see what the problem is if you want the house and trust people all seems fine to me, get it over all at once.

I have tried your method of leavimg the moles alone only to return to my house and spend a few back breaking hours clearing up.So for me i will not be sending any subscription to the mole club,but i will keep on trying to get rid of the little furry b-----s.

I have had a limited success with the mole traps,killed three.I am about to invest in a product called Anti-Mole which is a bulb that secretes a smeell that keeps the moles away.Look on www.rootrainers.co.uk/gardeners/protection

Better than fishing go to www.sanef.com and sign up.Open an account and be able to sail through the tolls and the money comes out of your bank account.It will also save time. -
Question on Sanef bills - telepeage doofer
surgeonofsteel replied to phylisbide's topic in Travelling to/from France
you should be able to check your bill on line.when you signed up with SANEF they will have posted to you a client number and votre mot de passe. -
Do not bother with any sonic devises they are a waist of money i have tried them and the moles just ignore them.The best way is to lay traps but mind your fingers,but they willdrive you mad.The first thing i do each day is clear up the previous nights mounds,its war but i think they will win.
