This book has just been translated into english after 70 years. It is a book that every French girl would have been given before getting married. It has just been translated in english and is called I know how to cook by Ginette Mahiut and costs around 16.00 from Amazone who will of course send to France. It ia fantastic and covers every French recipe that you can think of, and all very easy. I can recommend it. It has only been out for about two weeks.sligirl

Many thanks for the link to the table, would I be right in that P.6 (puissance administrative nationale) denotes the CV value?

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find out the rates for claiming mileage for business use of a private vehicle. I know there are a set of tables and I know that you have to use the corresponding code from the Certificat d'immatriculation.
The other problem is that I cant see a code though it is probably there
By the way it is for a Land Rover Defender 110 with an engine size of 2495cc if that helps.
Many thanks

I currently have a 8mg connection through wanadoo and pay about 40 euros per month, and I have option illimite with France Telecom for my fixed line for the same amount that gives me unlimited calls to a number of international countries.
Many offers quote unlimited calls but all use VOIP, where i would like to retain the use of the fixed line.
Thanks in advance for any ideas

Though we have an accountant and he was responsible for setting up our new company, I thought that I would pick your minds with regard to the retirement element of cotistations and whether they are optional or compulsory.
At and before retirement age I will receive two separate pensions, as well as my paid up part of my UK state pension if it indeed still exists.
I am happy with what I should receive and therefore would want to contribute any more unnecessarily

I have seen and read a few articles about Biofuel fires stating that as they produce no smoke or gas that they do not need a chimney. I have a chimney that I cant use because there is a crack high up that seems too difficult to fix (too narrow for a tube) and was wondering if a Biofuel fire would be my answer. This is not the sole heating as we have full central heating, it would be more for ambiance.
1. Does anyone have any experience of these fires and what they are like (pros and con's)
2. Does anyone know where they can be purchased (we are in dept 31 in the mountains)
3. How easy is it to buy the fuel
Many thanks,
Mike

Thanks Clair,
I guess the beneficiaire section is used when jointly applying either with a partner or child so therefore as we are both applying separately we just put in our DOB.

Both my wife and I have to submit these forms to RAM who will provide us with our new cart vitale's however I am a little confused about filling in the form which nominates our preferred doctor. The first section titled "Identification de l'assure et du benificiaire"
Am I correct in understanding that in each case we enter ourselves as the assured "L'assure" and under the "Le beneficiaire" in my case my wife and on my wife's form me?
Many thanks,
Mike

Thanks Clair,
I don't suppose you have the details of where you found the above reference do you.
Many thanks,

[quote user="Cat"]Am I right in thinking that you are on the local council Mike? Perhaps you could ask there at the next meeting?[/quote]
Good memory Cat,
I have already broached this subject with my colleagues but as it is holiday time here and many people are away I thought that I would try and get another perspective whilst waiting.
Cheers,

This question relates to a friend rather than myself and I thought that as there is likely to be other bar owners on the forum you may be able to help:
Situation:
Friend brought existing bar on main street, refurbished and opened 6 months ago. The bar is popular particularly at weekends and during the holiday periods (this is a resort town). The problem is that they have been receiving complaints from residents who live nearby about the noise.
My questions are: (assuming there are general regulations applicable across France)
1. As they are able to open until 4am at the weekend, and that they are allowed to play music is there a specific time by which music which can be heard on the street must cease.
2. Is there a specified level of noise (normally stressed in db's) that should not be exceeded.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much , I will give it a go. Do you add water for the other brown breads as well.

Has anyone used the Landgut bread mix from Lidl. I have made the brown and brown with nuts which was very good. I would like to try the ciabatta but cannot understand the directions in French. I think it is telling me to put in a dish of water when cooking the bread in the oven( I do not use a machine). If anyone can help would be most grateful.

One part of our house is lined with wood panelling where over the last month or so we have started to notice what looks like grains of sand along the edges of the skirting board. This is getting progressively worse and tonight I have found loads of small what look like flying ants (really tiny) in one corner.
My guess is that there is a nest somewhere behind the walls which of course we don't want to take down.
My questions are:
1. Does anyone know of a good product that will kill the ants and let them take the stuff back to the nest to kill the rest.
2. Is there likely to be damage behind the panelling - and if so should I worry
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Many thanks, I have sprayed in what was one of the few dry days of the last few weeks and will keep an eye open for new growth. The next sun that we get after all of this rain should see everything sprouting nicely.

Your are right on the mark, it is a Napoleon variety. I have checked my RHS book and it seems to confirm Cherry Aphid but the treatment is not that clear. I was thinking of cutting off the tips but that may be a bit drastic, though I don't want the problem to spread to the healthier more established leaves.
-
Thanks to all the replies. We were pleased to receive our plaque from GdF last Friday (no fee), and even more please to receive our firsts guests (two different bookings) from our Tourist Office on Saturday.

We have a couple of new cherries planted last summer, on the end leaves of one tree all the the leaves are curling up and there is a black soot like deposit on the underside of the leaves. Has anyone experienced this before and if so what is the best treatment.
Many thanks,
Mike

Thanks Danny,
I have tried both options and checked the default IP address as suggested, they are the same but to no avail. I am considering the powerline suggestion by Jan but would like to ask:
Do I assume that the existing ethernet cable that currently plugs directly into the Livebox would have to go into the Netgear box and then a cable would go from the Netgear box into the Livebox?

Many thanks Jan

Hi Danny,
Thanks for the info above - unfortunately I am having no luck as i cannot get onto the IP address that you have attached.
Any thoughts,
Mike
