Hi Received an email from them a few minutes ago (already deleted, sorry) to say that the service is disrupted in parts of the South (04 and 05 area codes?). Should be sorted in a few hours, & in the meantime you can call through their emergency number - 0805 123 200, I think (just wait for the dial tone as usual). HTH Martyn

Excellent idea Smarty. This forum is (mostly!) an excellent resource for practical information, whereas I find the magazine a bit 'coffee table' and must admit to just skimming the property ads while standing in the newsagents. I suspect, though, that there's more money to be made in appealing to the 'moneyed middle aged' / aspirational / lifestyle sector than as a practical companion for the 'red tape and brick dust' brigade. (Mind you, FPN strikes a decent balance and that's free!) I did pick up at Vive La France the pilot issue of "Affordable France" magazine, which seemed to have the makings of something interesting - has anyone seen this since? Martyn
