  1. The items you describe ie a chimney and double flue are available in France however you need to go to a builders merchants ask for the items and theu will probably have to order for you I 
  2. The Scottish way,different from the English way. Witnesses woud be interviewed,forensic tests would be made,if there is reasonable suspicion against someone(not defined and up to the court eventually decide) that person can be detained and questioned for up to 6 hours.The person can also be interviewed voluntaraly and can leave the police station at any time,altho in that senario they would probably then be detained and held for the maximum of 6 hours At the end of that period the person is then charged if the police believe they have sufficient. evidence or released without charge.If released without charge they cannot be detained a second time they can only be arrested and charged.Ultimatly it is the Crown office in Scotland who decide that there is sufficient evidence to proceed to a formal charge which must be done within 60 days of arrest. Hence the Scottish police do not willy nilly detain everyone in sight they conduct a thourough investigation and only when suspicion backed up usually with a great deal of evident would they consider detaining someone.
  3. Lettre from CPAM dated 22nd Aout 2007 Madame Dans le cadre du renouvellement de vos droits a l,assurance maladie votre dossier doit faire l,objet d,un nouvel examen par nos services. Vos droits sont soumis a une condition de residence(1).Vous devez,en effet,justifier d,une residence stable(2). Par ailleurs,une etude de vos revenus est egalement neessaire pour determiner si vous etes redevable d,une cotisation.Cette cotisation est due si vos revenus sont superieurs a un plafond fixe reglementairement et revisable chaque annee. Je souhaite attirer votre attention sur le fait que cette regle est applicable meme si vous nétes pas imposable(3) Pour assurer la prolongation de vos droits,je vous invite a me retourner avant le 17 Septembre 2007 les documents attestant de votre residence stable et effective en France:photcopie de l,avis d,imposition ou de non imposition ou a defaut tout autre document attestant du caractere permanent de la residence ou ddún sejour dúne duree superieure a 6 mois This letter goes on a bit more about other documents to produce   I visited CPAM Charente today My E106 ran out 3 years ago and I am not entitled to an E121 (too young) I do not work but have a pension I complete the same form every year to assess my payments to CPAM for CMU cover.and every year I also complete a tax return in France.This has been for the previous 3 years. This year I took my avis d;impot showing my revenu fiscal de reference to CPAM today together with the application form for CMU NOTHING ELSE WAS REQUIRED BY CPAM AND MY COVER WILL CONTINUE Noone knew anything about the circumstances as outlined in the Sunday times article,despite the very helpfull lady at CPAM making various phone calls (I think she thought I was just a crazy anglais) CPAM did say that if you do not have an avis dímpot you would have to prove stable residence in France for 6 months and provide proof of income to their satisfaction  
  4. So why not ask these people what hospital wants these English nurses and then go and find out exactly what is required from the hospital
  5. Firstly your friend does not own the boundary line that is impossible,he may own the land up to the boundary line but not the actual line which is jointly owned The neighbour can erect a wall on the boundry ie on his side of it,likewise your friend can erect a fence on his side of the boundry.Both will need permission if over 2 mtrs high Considering that the neighbour will not need to do anything to maintain a stone wall while your friend will need to maintain a wooden fence then as they say the ball is in the neighbours court so either they kiss and make up or your friend moves his fence back onto his land so he can have access to the other side to maintain  
  6. Ryanair website now updated The last flight to/from Poitiers is 28th October and resumes in March with a reduced service Friday/Sunday/Monday and Wednesday
  7. Someone asked for a contact or telephone number for a mobile home transporter I cut and pasted the details of one from the pages jaunes. I received an email from admin saying this was commercial advertising and the post had been removed I emailed to say I was not advertising it was not my company I had only responded to the request   Did I get a reply    No
  8. [quote user="Mark"]Great thanks Pierre.  I'm off to the estate agent now with a list of other questions (my question above relates to a potential house purchase), so I'll ask if the soil tests have been done, but as you say it shouldn't be a stumbling block if they haven't yet.  The fosse is in place and brand new, courtesy of the current owner - it just isn't connected to anything![/quote]   Just ask to see the certificate of conformity issued after a septic tank has been installed.The people who do the inspection are the same ones who give permission in the first place after soil tests etc have been done.
  9. If  anyone contributes to other forums please pass on the website details to these forums
  10. All I asked was for people to help by printing off the poster and putting it up in local bars,supermarkets campsites etc I did not ask for a discussion on the rights and wrongs of the circumstances surrounding the disappearance. Some of these postings are extremely hurtful especially the original one from Quillan I hope and trust that he/she is never in a similar situation.The  comment was totally uncalled for. I am a friend of the family and I was only passing on a genuine plea for help. On her 4th birthday today 12th May 2007 please refrain from any further comments about the circumstances but print off the posters and put them up locally. This is a simple plea which will raise awareness amongst the whole population
  11. http://www.findmadeleine.com./   Please distribute posters
  12. [quote user="ebaynut"] We are looking to buy in France in the very near future, and have been busy finding out all we can about the process. I have looked on the Notaries de France website but this does not give fees, so if the fees are regulated by law, surely this informaton should be available correctly for forward planning of financal matters. If anyone can help or point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. [/quote]   The notaires de France website does give an on line calculator to establish the fees due so it is available Perhaps first job brush up on your french second job  have another look at the notaires de france website  
  13. Except any lawyer worth his salt would claim it had been a deliberate ploy to disinherit the daughter and ask where the funds came from in the first place to purchase,from savings or sale of house in UK which had been owned by husband maybe' Seek legal advice
  14. Or you could try Rosyth to Zeebrugge at least not much of a drive from Aberdeen to Rosyth.
  15. Last year I was covered in France using the E106.I phoned CPAM to ask for a european health card as I was going on holiday to Spain Their reply ,after I quoted my social security no. was You are issued with the EHIC by the UK as at the moment you are covered by E106 and all medical charges incured are rembursed by the UK I then phoned Newcastle explained situation and they said no problem CPAM France are correct and issued me with a EHIC This year I am no longer on E106 but pay into French system and currently in Spain with my EHIC issued by CPAM.
  16. Sorry but where is the line that you would draw re disclosure In this instance yes it is a potentially serious offence but do you disclose that you have been breathalised found allegedly over the limit and await prosecution,or do you disclose that you have had a notice for speeding which you are disputing.
  17. The relevant offence when you have been disqualified from driving is that you are disqualified from holding or obtaining a driving licence The relevant text is here 103.—(1) If a person disqualified for holding or obtaining a licence—  (a) obtains a licence while he is so disqualified, or  (b) while he is so disqualified drives on a road a motor vehicle or, if the disqualification is limited to the driving of a motor vehicle of a particular class, a motor vehicle of that class, he is guilty of an offence.     (2) A licence obtained by any person who is disqualified is of no effect. Thus even if that person has another driving licence issued by another country the person is still committing a criminal offence in the UK if he drives.  If he obtains another driving licence while disqualified he commits a criminal offence. There is obviously nothing to prevent someone driving while disqualified(except the fear of being caught)  however if stopped by the police it takes a matter of moments to establish if he is disqualified or not.and it is now common practice for police officers to request this check routinely even where the person produces what appears to be a valid licence
  18. Well I recon that Lady Di and Jodi are still alive and living on an  desert island somewhere. Now Chris prove that I am not correct
  19. [quote user="Dick Smith"]He meant the website name is the same as the user name. [/quote]   No it aint  not the website for the name in dispute
  20. The first line of their website reads The birth place and home of one of the most important French writers of his era and then mentions his name If that is not trying to cash in on his name. Also its tends to suggest that it is still his home
