Hi i am thinking buying a second hand "Rayburn" wood burning cooker. It will be used as a room heater as well as a cooker. I will be fitting it myself. Can anyone advise me on whether the tax reimbursement would still apply and if so how much. Also would it matter if the cooker was bought in th UK as long as the Facture was in French. Thanks nich   

We have the same responce. I think that the people we attract, expect us to be there to help, and for a chat. When things go wrong they know that it can be sorted easily and with no hassle. I just working on the weather. Once i've got that one cracked then i think we're on to a winner.

All sorted. Went to Tours airport today, spoke to the nice lady on the help desk and she got the confirmation number for me.    

Thanks all. I tried to call today but nerf telecom wont alow the call. Cos its a chargeable number. I going to Tours airport on Thursday anyway , so will ask at the imformation desk. If all else fails will just check in as normal and play dim. ( which i must be anyway). Cheers nich the wood

I booked a flight with ryanair on Friday and didn't write down the confirmation number. I have not had an e-mail confirmation and need an e-mail contact address. Can anyone help. thanks  

Hi. We have been with HL for well over a year. They have got us most of our booking. I can only say we have found they very professional.  People sometime enquire about several properties and don't have the cautiously to reply.  

I used Limoges on Saturday. As already said it is very easy to park , BUT only at the moment. I think the car park is closed next weekend. It worth checking. They are changing over to pay and display. Once again people who leave there cars at airports for months have ruined it for us all. Now we will all have to pay.

Thanks for your replies. Mike i ordered them last night. All ready for the move in January. thanks again   www.howittgites.com

Hi Dont know if its any good to you but we are in district 86 near Angles-sur-Anglan, There is a very good ridding stables (lessons for all grades of riders) just up our road. Let me know if you want more details.     www.howittgites.com

I have just bought a Renault Megane from Belgium, am driving back to the uk on Friday, using it in the Uk until January when we move to France. I am insured  by Norwich Union and the are quite happy to insure my new car. It is costing slightly less than my currant RHD car.

I know where London is, but not sure about Nottingham. Thats near Scotland isn't it.

It might be good news for you all that live South of the Watford Gap . But there is a lot of us waiting for new routes to mid/ south France that live up NORTH. COME ON AIRLINES DONT FORGET US.

Here in the uk i use broadband. When i  move to France in January i will have to use dail up as we are miles from anywhere, in district 86. I have here about ADSL. Can anyone tell me what it is, how it works, what it might cost, do you rent it or buy it, does it just plug in or any help on the subject would be appreciated. As you can see i know nowt.

Hi. When we move to France, we will be taking all our sky equipment and our ON digital box. Can anyone tell me what i have to do to set it up AND will it work . Thanks nich the wood

Hi all We are moving to France in January. I have a 2002 Picasso 2.0 HDI exclusive RHD, top of the range. Anyone doing the oposite move and want a swap for a LHD?   www.Howittgites.com

Hi We used Thrifty ( think thats how its spelt) last year. They were VERY  professional and helpful right down to the headlight benders. I think the are national.

We are moving to France in January. At the moment we use French telecom and AOL. We only have a dial up internet, so has anyone got any advice or recommendations to companies and packages that may be available. ( We have no broadband where we are)

Just phone bf about a sailing in January . They wont be in the system until Oct/Nov. What rubbish. How are you suppost to plan with 10 weeks notice.

I take it by a "lift thingy" you mean a pole that holds the board on the ceiling while you nail it. I away use a piece of floorboard in the shape of a "tee" , Make the prop 1" higher than the ceiling. You can lift up the board and trap it in place with the prop. If you make the "tee" piece about 2ft long it works fine.

We have a sunken water tank the size of a garage. I fitted an electric pump and it now delivers enough hose pipe presure to get round are whole grounds. I take it that if spotted by air this would NOT be ilegal.

hi Can anyone in the poitiers area (86) tell us if there is any watering restrictions in force.

When we had a phone installed a couple of years ago. There were no poles up to us so French telecom used the electric poles. This i believe is the norm in France. No charge for instalation . We Brits have a bit to learn about customer service and charging.

I don't understand. Same in France as the UK. IF YOU DONT SPEED YOU WON'T GET FINED. How can you complain, if you break the law in ant way, don't moan about the punishment
