I think that it's in the link on this page http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/4/1738585/ShowPost.aspx#1738585
[quote user="Catalpa"]Recently discussed on TotalFrance - post 5 explains why so much French steak is so mediocre compared to British meat.

CBPinet's last post on page 2 is interesting too.

I was thinking the same thing.
Just as long as it is planted a long way away from the house and fosse.

As far as the French code général des impots goes, these are the rules.
If these rules are not sufficient to judge where a person is fiscally resident, the the new UK/France double taxation treaty says...
RESIDENCE
1. For the purposes of this Convention, the term "resident of a Contracting State" means any person who, under the laws of that State, is liable to tax therein by reason of his domicile, residence, place of management, place of incorporation or any other criterion of a similar nature, and also includes that State and any political subdivision or local authority thereof, and any statutory body of that State, subdivision or authority. This term does not include any person who is liable to tax in that State in respect only of income or capital gains from sources in that State.
2. Where by reason of the provisions of paragraph 1 an individual is a resident of both Contracting States, then his status shall be determined in accordance with the following rules:
(a) he shall be deemed to be a resident only of the Contracting State in which he has a permanent home available to him; if he has a permanent home available to him in both States, he shall be deemed to be a resident only of the State with which his personal and economic relations are closer (centre of vital interests);
(b) if the Contracting State in which he has his centre of vital interests cannot be determined, or if he does not have a permanent home available to him in either State, he shall be deemed to be a resident only of the State in which he has an habitual abode;
(c) if he has an habitual abode in both Contracting States or in neither of them, he shall be deemed to be a resident only of the State of which he is a national;
(d) if he is a national of both Contracting States or of neither of them, the competent authorities of the States shall settle the question by mutual agreement.

This treaty (although signed) has not yet come into effect, the rules are pretty much the same as in the old treaty though. The only mention of 183 days in both documents is to determine where tax on income from employment is to be paid, and has nothing to do with establishing fiscal residency.
The 183 day rule applies only to income derived from employment, and comes from the soon to be replaced UK/France double taxation treaty...
article 15
(1) Subject to the provisions of Articles 16, 18, 19 and 20, salaries, wages and other similar remuneration derived by a resident of a Contracting State in respect of an employment shall be taxable only in that State unless the employment is exercised in the other Contracting State. If the employment is so exercised, such remuneration as is derived therefrom may be taxed in that other State.
(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1), remuneration derived by a resident of a Contracting State in respect of an employment exercised in the other Contracting State shall be taxable only in the first-mentioned State if:
(a) the recipient is present in the other State for a period or periods not exceeding in the aggregate 183 days in any period of 12 months; and
(b) the remuneration is paid by, or on behalf of, an employer who is not a resident of the other State; and
(c) the remuneration is not borne by a permanent establishment or a fixed base which the employer has in the other State.
(3) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article, remuneration in respect of an employment exercised aboard a ship or aircraft in international traffic may be taxed in the Contracting State in which the place of effective management of the enterprise is situated.

The new double taxation treaty takes the same view of the 183 day rule...
INCOME FROM EMPLOYMENT
1. Subject to the provisions of Articles 16, 18, 19 and 20, salaries, wages and other similar remuneration derived by a resident of a Contracting State in respect of an employment shall be taxable only in that State unless the employment is exercised in the other Contracting State. If the employment is so exercised, such remuneration as is derived therefrom may be taxed in that other State.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 1, remuneration derived by a resident of a Contracting State in respect of an employment exercised in the other Contracting State shall be taxable only in the first-mentioned State if:
(a) the recipient is present in the other State for a period or periods not exceeding in the aggregate 183 days within any period of 12 months; and
(b) the remuneration is paid by, or on behalf of, an employer who is not a resident of the other State; and
(c) the remuneration is not borne by a permanent establishment which the employer has in the other State.

[quote user="Cendrillon"]This story has gone very quiet. I read in Sud-Ouest that the French police are waiting for information from the British police who have picked-up and are questioning the suspect. Has anyone any more news?
[/quote]I don't know if this was the article you read Cendrillon, but it looks as if the accused has 7 days in which to appeal extradition to France (the article was published on the 7th, so say the 14th). If he doesn't appeal then he would be extradited within the following 10 days.

I wouldn't hold your breath Clair [:(]
Their French site http://www.reckittbenckiser.fr/index_produit.asp doesn't list Dettol as one of their products, and googling suggests that the sale (but not the use) of Dettol in France may be forbidden.

Vente d'un véhicule d'occasion
En cas de vente d'un véhicule de plus de 4 ans, le vendeur doit remettre à l'acquéreur, avant la conclusion du contrat de vente, le procès verbal de la visite technique périodique, établi depuis moins de 6 mois.

Thanks so much for this thread!
I've just picked the first of my cornichons, but I wasn't quick enough to catch the blighters at the teeny-weeny stage, and they are already between 2 and 3 inches long. My only experience of pickles this size has been American style dill pickles (lovely) and mother-in-law's french pickled cornichons (not really crunchy enough).
Having read the recipes in the links, and explored a few more, I'll try salting them first, and then processing with hot brine/vinegar, and bottling them with garlic and dill (except that I don't have any dill to hand, so I'll use fennel fronds instead).
Fingers crossed.

[quote user="Ron Avery"]
What this has to do with Michaael Jackson I don't know, but getting back on topic why do all the usual suspects who state somewhere in their posts that they could not stand the man or his music feel they have to even post a comment about him?
I was not a great fan of the Jackson 5 but the man had an undeniable talent as an entertainer and singer that millions across the world appreciated and its sad the way hios life ended. But heh lets remember him as a pervert, its so typically British white middle class.

Isn't that rather like asking why people who don't like living in France bother to post on this forum?
No point in being pink and fluffy, he had his good and his bad points, no doubt he'll be remembered for them both.
A flawed genius.

Our CA (Nord Midi Pyrenees) has been cash-less for over a year now.
To deposit cash, I have to put the money into an envelope, fill in the details, and deposit it in a hole in the wall type machine.

A heart attack is suspected.
Until the post mortem results are available, the actual cause is pure speculation at the moment.

This is the triangle and cross sign that Ron mentioned
It may look as though it's simply warning of a cross-road (or even a level-crossing) but don't be fooled. It means that you do not have priority.
Contracts sent to me by the mayor

[quote user="Quillan"]We never got a contract but our water and sewage is controlled by the commune and its them we pay. One thing to watch for. With ours they charged us for water in and water out based on the meter reading of water in. We have a fosse so there is no water out. Once I pointed this out to the mayor our bill almost halved.[/quote]
Same thing happened to us Q.
