If the owner feels that any of your complaints aren't justified, he has the facility to counter them, or offer an explanation in the TripAdvisor reviews section.
The fact that he hasn't done so speaks volumes [Www]

What a hoot Marie Alice ...
I know someone who is troubled by termites... how many cakes would he have to bake to get that sorted out? [:)]

Do you use a modem router?
Try switching the modem off (or removing the power cable) for 10 seconds, and then repowering the modem.

They don't publish an email address, you need to send it via their website (bit like our forum email).

[quote user="sweet 17"]
Just want to say "thank you" to Chancer for speaking up on my behalf and to say "bravo" to Rose for sticking up for jon. And, anyway, far from saying anything derogatory about jon, I was trying to say to people to leave him alone.
[/quote]
To be fair, when people decide to leave the forum, it is normally done as discreetly as possible. Jon made her decision to leave, we respected the privacy of her decision.
But I would like to echo Sweets' wishes to all in the hospitality business [:)]

Do you mean Montjean 16240? If so it's the 25th October.

As powerdesal says, my neighbour also always refers to his as a manitou.
Rather like calling a vacuum cleaner a hoover.

I do a very simple caramelised walnut recipe that's so quick you can prepare it to eat 10 minutes later.
Preheat oven to 180°
Put a sheet of baking paper on a baking sheet
Put some honey in a bowl, add a little cinnamon, stir in walnuts till they're nicely coated
Pick walnuts out of honey, put on baking sheet, cook for about 5 minutes or until honey is caramelised.
Let them cool for a couple of minutes, then serve.

I can't help feeling that someone must be having a bad weekend.
As has been pointed out several times, there really is no compulsion to read a thread that displeases you, unless you're a real sucker for punishment and it actually pleases you to be displeased.
Dave's posts break no forum rules, and many members evidently enjoy his writing style and content. Perhaps you feel that you could do better Steve, why not start your own thread?

You've got one Mik, we can all see it.
No one can see their own, as there is no need [:)]

Apart from all the obvious stuff, although he calls his wife Mary in the body of the email, he signs off as Mr Kean Campbell & Rosemary.
Googling Rosemary Campbell scams, she's obviously a very busy woman! I'm surprised she has the time to take a month's holiday [;-)]

Funny, that last phrase in the original post "Summary: everyone should join" pops up all over the internet, by supposedly unrelated happy site users, endorsing the site and the wonderful stuff they found on it.
If it were that great you'd think there might be a few genuine recommendations too [Www]

Looking at the Ryanair site, I assume that their outward flight was booked for Saturday the 24th?
There are no flights on the Sunday or Monday, but the Tuesday flight is available. If the alternative to cancelling her holiday is to take a shorter one, she could phone Ryanair and ask them to book her onto the Tuesday flight.
She doesn't have to take the alternative Friday flight she was offered. It may be at the discretion of the person she speaks to, but I know that when something similar happened to me with Ryanair, I asked to be changed to a flight on a different day, and ended up on a flight that was over £100 more expensive than the one I had originally booked, but didn't cost me a penny more. In your sister's case, the Tuesday flight is only £2.79, so considerably cheaper than the Friday flight she is being offered.
Worth a try.

I came across the calendar in a novel about the revolution, something set near this area, involving a rose grower and a hot air balloonist.

Presumably you'd need sheep milk for proper Greek yoghurt?

They will ship to France, and I have a friend who uses them and is very pleased with the results.

[quote user="powerdesal"]A 'not-so-silly-question', quite serious really................years ago, when I was young(er) I had never heard of gluten-free and its problems, what did people do then?
[/quote]I noticed this report on Télematin this morning, about gluten, and why there is more of it in bread than there used to be...

I used to have a great big Australian gas BBQ, and excess fat would run off into a separate tray that could be emptied.
Fat on the "rocks" was burnt off at the end of each BBQ by turning it up to the highest setting and closing the lid for 10 minutes.

I'm sure that some people do have the time and inclination to bake their own bread. I suppose it depends on what the customer expects and is willing to pay for jon. Those seeking the offerings of cordon-bleu chefs are no doubt happy to fork out the extra to satisfy their palate, while others probably prefer the price of an average B and B offering average cooking
I imagine that rising to the challenge of baking their own bread every day, especially in this heat, would make some people rather cranky and bad tempered.

How long does a C.U. last?

A CU is valid 18 months, but it may be possible to extend it by a year.
