Keep trying. It took me 3 attempts, my wife on the other hand got an immendiate email response.
-
Could I ask how long it took to get a reply. I have emailed my 5 MEP's(25 Sept) with absolutely no response.

I don't know where they get your names and addresses from, but if it is the company I am thinking of they approached me 3 years ago on the same basis. as a matter of interest my broker (who handles business for a lot of expats) was totally unaware of the changes in procedures. He contacetde the local social security office who also said they did not know where these rumours came from! They had no private insurance on offer as of last week. If he does not catch up he will be loosing a lot of renewal business.

There may be a light:##The following makes inteesting reading.

Many thanks Cooperola.At least it gives us some hope.

Has anyone tried to get a quote for private insurance?What would existing conditions cover?Would conditions such as Thyroid or blood pressure count? So far I have been thinking of obtaining hospital cover only and paying for all other teatments, doctor, prescriptions, dentist and optician on a use by use basis
-
I can't see that travel to the Uk for medical treatment is even worth discussing. We are hardly going to fly across for a regular prescription and as for an operation most of us will be in receipt of an E121 whilst waiting.
I think we need to be discussing who is likely to take up the icase for us.If only we had our own MP?

Two thoughts strike me this morning
1. A legal challenge is expected-who is going to do this. The British government? I doubt it. If such a chalange is made would we be allowed to stay pending the result?
2. There seems to be an implication that it will be a condition of residence that you are covered by private health insurance. If you are unable to obtain such insurance, will there be an exodus? Has anyone an idea of what the range ofpre- exisitng health problems may be, over here.

Exactly as I said in my original post. Try http://:www/french-property.com public services forum for that editor's opinion.

I would hate to muddy the waters but I have just been reading on Total France forum there is now a definitive statement from the French Govt on http://www.securite-sociale.fr This seeems to fly in the face of the Connextion release concerning a meeting on 12 September with French authorities. Apparantly the French governement are expecting a legal challenge, particularly as this would make us Brits as EU citizens worst off than the Americans.

At our giite we nor,ally take a deposit to cover telephone bills, and refund any difference at the end of the stay. A guest who wishes to use the phone and access the internet with his laptop tells us that on a previous stay he has obtained a card which enables hime to use the faciliies without ourselves being billed. I beleive he has an account with a French ISP. Anyone come across this system?
-
There has been mention before on this thread on the subject of a petition on the government website.There is already a petition to enable expats to have an MP representing them. Apparantly the Italians already have one in UK.It seems obvious that the MP's in our old constituencies have no interest in our wellbeing. For those interested a reminder of http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Votes-Europe/

I am sure someone else has been in this situation. Previous to our permanent move to France we submitted a return for our gite to Paris( Centre for Non residents). When I took our return for 2006 into th Hotel des Impots I wsas advised that both returns had to be submitted to Paris, together with the British refund forms and then they would be sent to my local Hotel des Impots., after their files had been amended. I have not yet received an avis, Would the foregoing delay matters? Also when does the tx have to be paid?

I have today received a free copy of The Connection. In an article headlined "Thousands of expats lose access to french state healthcare cover- new law removes right for early retirees to enter CMU.The article state that letters have been arriving with CMU subscribers in recent weeks informing them they should send back their Carte Vitales. People of state retirement age are not affected. Similar problems arose in Spain earlier this year.
According to exclsive healthcare the new law followed a European Court of Jusitice decision last year. He advises people to continue to use their CV until told otherwise. They exstimate the cover offered by the state could not be matched, but that his best cover for a 60 year old would cost over €3000 a year with some firms charging 50% more/ a basic cover would cost a min of €500. Private ins also typically involves an excess of €120 on a claim.
The Dept of Health in UK said they were aware of the situation but once people left the UK and were not receivibg cover via an E form the matter of healthcare was in the hands of their host country.

I have had this problem for some 3/4 weeks. Unable to contact teleconnect by phone. have emailed them with no response..I have tried an old phone in the socket but this does not work either.
-
Thanks for the info.The resaon I asked was mainly because recently the phone locked me outand I had to obtain a PUK from OneTel to unlock the phone. The phone on ebay is new, do they all come loaded with incoming calls. Alternatively if I buy one from say Amazon are they too preloaded?
-
I have got an old Siemens A50 mobile bought from Onetel . I pay £4.95 pm line rental. The phone is troublesome. I see new "unlocked" phones on Ebay. would I be able to transfer my Sim card to one of these?

I don't know if it helps but you could try www.viva-vous.net/services/bois-chauffage.php. They supply a list of suppliers in order of distance from your town.

Thank you all for your help. I'm trying to digest the method for placing a photo on messages and I will return!!

Beong new to the property, I am not sure but think I have a peach tree. It did blossom, but have no fruit. On two or three places on the tree there are big blobs of what appears to be resin. Any ideas.
?

Some supermarkets here in Dept 17 stock (in plasic sachets) unpasteurised milk-Lait Cru, this it says should be used on day of purchase.certainly makes the tea taste better.

Strange how these things happen. My Grundig box has just started doing the same thing!

I have 2 varities of potato- Desiree and Charlotte, both planted in April. So far the Desiree's have flowered but not the Charlottes. Last week I sprayed with Bordeaux. The leaves are yellowing and I think I must have blight. However today I have dug samples of both and the potatoes appear to be excellent. Any ideas?

I live on the border temp has been 32/34 degrees the last few days
