A friend of mine does fab roasties, and she told me she uses half butter, half oil, and shakes the potatoes up in the pan before putting in the hot oil.  The butter gives a lovely flavour.  

I think you might find this is AGE related as well as income related.  Over 70 I think is the magic figure.

To Outcast - I am flattered that you remember my posting from another Forum.    

"Is it being pissy when someone says that we shouldn't expect english speakers. I don't think so. " I just thought it was unnecessarily hard and not at all welcoming to a newbie.  I dont think  Evo was expecting an English speaker, rather hoping for one. It must have been very frustrating to have made a journey to see a doctor, having been told he spoke English, only to find that he didnt. Just as luck has it, my GP speaks English to me, and I speak French to him, and we correct each other.  He says he likes English patients so he can practice the language.

It's a pity you dont live near Perigueux, Evo, because I have an excellent lady, who with her limited English, and my limited French, we get on very well.  I have been to her for two smear tests now, and think she is great.

I found absolutely no difference with their booster at all, and stopped it the next month.  I too use Onspeed which I think helps a bit. All  I can say is roll on ADSL.  I also got very annoyed with Wanadoo, when I emailed them with a techie problem, they only ever sent back a standard letter referring me to their 400 FAQ's. No help at all, if the answer lay therein, I wouldnt have asked them for help.
