[quote user="dave21478"]In Albi this morning the fuel stations were queued out for a few hundred meters down the roads. I dont know if they are rationing or not, I never stopped.[/quote]
Oh - we're driving to Albi this weekend for an Athletics competition. Maybe things will be a bit better by then. If not it will be 56mph on the peage there and back as I think we would make it.
No problems at all in Tarbes this afternoon.

I would have thought that if it's in Zinc then it will be 80mm, but you can get them in 60mm as well. I've not seen 100mm zinc only PVC, and never 100mm for guttering

This is interesting reading be nice, don't hurry

Didn't they go bust a few years back ? Sounds like a scam to me. What is the email address it was sent from ?

I have seen a lot of kitchen installations recently where the dishwasher is raised up to waist height, rather like a mid-oven. It makes perfect sense to me, what with my knees and back. I see no reason you can't put a block under each leg, it's not as though it spins stuff.

If you earn over a certain amount don't you have to do everything on-line now ? Which is why some people may not have received paper copies. Next year I think they bring the limit down to get even more people completing on-line. Only if you don't have access to the internet will you still be allowed to do it in paper form.

Last year (and to be honest 2014 as well) we gave No1 son approx. €300 a month to support him at University.
I believe that that money is tax deductible. Has anyone out there tried to claim the tax credit ?
I have two further questions.
1) if so, is it simply a matter of putting in an amount on the tax return (which box??)
2) would there be any other knock effects by trying to claim a tax credit ? Basically, by trying to claim a tax credit will there be something else that will bite us in the @rse later...something to do with the number of "parts" in the household being reduced (knowing how the French work a couple of years in arrears)
Any help would be appreciated

get yourself a man with a proper machine to set it up. Now that the signal has been squeezed so much, it is no longer that easy to set it up by eye/hand. We are not that far from you in 65 and have a 1.5m dish but we got a man in to tweak it in the end

oh brilliant, not again !
Anytime we get these tax exposes linked to Luxembourg, the Lux tax authorities say "right we must do something" and then kick the cr@p out of the man in the street to show that they are ringing in the changes

it would be useful to know what nationality you are as the laws and regulations differ for EU and non EU people
also it would be useful to know how old the kid(s) are. Any older than 11 then forget it.

First and foremost you will need permission to convert it into a dwelling and anything over 170m2 you will need an architect.
For the actual costs involved in the conversion, think of a number, add a 0 and then double it. Nothing stopping you doing the work yourself though. Good luck.

350€ for a new hard drive - did they wear a mask whilst selling it to you? No need to buy a new PC if you get a virus, and don't think that the Apple is immune
Flashplayer is absolutely OK to use, no need to be afraid

if you add completefrance.com to the compatability view list , then the adverts are pushed out of site

Flash Player is full of bugs and security flaws. On Windows a lot of applications are moving away from Flash and using HTML5. If you use Chrome or the new windows edge then you don't need Flash Player. However, that only applies to windows, I don't know what Apple are doing with the OSX software
-
I have no idea why it needs Flash Player - however if it is having a whinge at you then you should download it.
you can find it here ..... flash player

I agree with above - it's all sharp sand, soft "uk builders sand" sand is utterly ridiculously expensive and as rare as rocking horse poooop
On a more practical note, do you have the necessary vehicle to collect 1t of sand ? There are builders merchants that will give it to in a bag but you may still need a big trailor to pick it up.
If it's delivery you need then make sure you order it with a lot of notice, especially if you are not around for long. Although, where you live you may get a better delivery service than us. Here it's not like the UK where they ask if you want it the next day before 8 or after 1 in the afternoon. If we order it here could be a week to 10 days before they turn up with it.

[quote user="NickP"]Like EuroTrash ( I really hated writing that [:D] ) on the couple of big jobs we have had done, we've paid 30% at the start of the job, then in our case 30% in the middle and 30% at the end; subject to satisfactory completion. If they say they want more at the start because of buying materials I would be very wary as it could mean that they aren't trusted by local suppliers to have an account, and for me that would raise alarm bells.
[/quote]Cool - 10% discount for cash ? [:D]

well... blow me ! some good news .... the tickets turned up this afternoon.
So there was me blaming all and sundry. Both wifey (who feels very guilty about the whole thing) and my brother have been bothering LaPost/RM/Customs all day to try and track these feckin tickets down.
But here's the bizarre twist, they were delivered to West Sussex via ....wait for it...... Argentina !
So
- France put them on the wrong plane... and how wrong a plane can you get !
- Royal Mail failed to pick up the tracked letter once it had been received into the UK
- I'm glad we are on speaking terms again with the Argies
So all's well that ends well...although that is not to say there are problems posting a simple letter. (We can put a man on the moon and yet fail to post a letter from A to B without going via C,D and E)

Which government minister forced this law through ? and how many cousins does he have in the business of selling smoke detectors ?

Hi,
We sent a letter to my brothers house in the UK (tickets for the England v France rugby match next Saturday). They never arrived. We paid for a "tracked service" and the last time it was scanned was at Roissy (CDG airport) 2am on March the 5th. So technically it should be the UK. The British post service denies receiving them, the French (obviously) want nothing to do with the problem saying that once it was scanned it was loaded on a plane.So where do we stand ? Has anyone had something similar ?
I would like to think (naively) that they are stuck in the UK system somewhere, however, the cynic in me thinks that someone at CDG scanned the envelope then trousered the tickets.

When you think what Greece managed to get for their country when they were on their uppers and were bankrupt and took only a begging bowl with them..........[:P]
[/quote]You think Greece got a good deal ? I suggest you look again. They were well and truly kippered. Which is exactly what they have done to Camermoron
What are my chances of part exchanging a RHD car?
