    15 year rule to remain

    in French Legal Issues

    Posted

    Personally, I do not think it relevant, whether it is an ex-serviceman or a dustman. What is relevant is the fact that some of us who paid tax all our lives( I started work at 16 retired at 65 and carried on paying taxes from my pension) and I have also been paying taxes here fro the last 15 years. Surely I should have the right to vote somewhere?

    I know the Italians have an MP to represent them in the UK and I think the French may also have one.

    Here in the Charente Maritime I have not noticed any large number of people leaving. Some people do leave, but I remember living in a small seaside resort in the Uk, people came to retire, found the place was quieter during the winter months, did not have the network of friends they previously had, and missed their families.They returned to their place of origin.

    They say that over here there are 3 main reasons for return-Debt, divorce or death.

    We have lived here permanently for the past 7 years and have concentrated on making friends with local French people as much as possible,joining local clubs and associations, supporting the community events etc and have no intention of leaving.

    We very much regard this as being our permanent home.

    Please, please buy French......

    In general I agree-I buy what is cheapest, as long as the quality is good.Use Lidl a lot etc.

    However with strawberries I do not buy Spanish strawberries after reading this.
