     Our doctor here in France does not have a receptionist, if we need him we go in the afternoon and sit in the waiting room that is usually full of little old ladies, we all remember who came in last when the doctor pops his head round the door for the next patient. He lets me struggle to describe my ailment in my not very good French, then speaks to me in English, I carry on in French...we both understand each other.       The last time I was there I had a virus causing extreme dizziness and a dear old lady who was in front of me told me to go in on her turn beacuse I looked very ill[:D] I have this idea that receptionists have a very difficult job to do sometimes, fending off malingerers and beligerent folk and sometimes I guess that we may just catch them on a very bad day.        In our surgery back in the UK they had a notice saying that a patient is only allowed to consult the doctor with one ailment at a time, which I found quite funny. I spent a lot of time in that surgery waiting room as I had to have a weekly blood test for a period of one year, in the corner was a toy box for the children, remarkable how they played when meant to be ill? mind you I was always ill on Fridays as a schoolboy! One week someone put razor blades in the toy box (there were some sick minds where we lived) luckily no children were injured. our doctor was one of the nicest most gentle men I have ever met and he was nearly driven to a nervous breakdown by his workload and government interference in the running of his surgery. We were very fortunate to live in his catchment area. bset regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG] will this bring about the end of this thread only just lately my posts seem to have that effect! I must be really boring. (not a question)

Sorry Clair[:)] best regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]

Hey...it did work, take a look at the thread heading[:D] tried to emulate the Central France thread. I really must get out more[:-))] best regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]

Don't think it worked

Just trying out the shortened thread title re: Central France[:D] [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]

Tea & Bourbons, sounds very good to me! best regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]

I once went beyond the pail and 'she who must be obeyed' went crazy and told me to adjust my aim....[;-)] best regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]

Yes,           I agree TU but what happens is that the cars approaching the PaD stop because a car is coming from the right and that car that has prority stops because he/she cannot clear the junction as he/she is doing a left turn, some of them are trying to go straight across to enter the new supermarket...everyone gets in a right state! we tend to avoid Sarlat in the height of the summer anyway...way to much traffic for me. best regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG] by the way what is the word that has only 3 x's in it[;-)]

Hi,    I bought a VW Transporter crew bus from Holland and imported it to France, I had to get the certificate of conformity from VW. They would only issue a 'half' certificate because the crew bus conversion was carried out after the van had left the VW factory, I had to make an appointment with the DRIRE (someone will explain the meaning of that, it escapes me at the moment) and take the van for inspection, it turned out to be quite straight forward. There were a couple of large camper vans there that day so it may be that you will need to go down that same road I am afraid.  Good luck. best regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]

Done. best regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]

[quote user="dogwood"]Hi Dago You should read all the posts. Owen wrote: " i am 24 and just starting out with my career and so was not another rich brit going abroad to a 2nd home," That's why! [:@] Dogwood [/quote] Hands up to that one. best regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]

Ah, so now there has to be a point in a posting on the forum, what a breath of fresh air. I am sorry for the accident to your wife, of course we should all be legal, I totally agree with you. I don't understand why you have brought up the 'rich brits with a second home' line though, what is YOUR point exactly? best regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]

    There is a really bad Pa D in Sarlat, it is onto the 'main' road, everyone stops for the traffic coming out and turning left but the traffic travelling in the opposite direction just do not stop to let them out and so on a nice saturday in the Summer the whole area comes to a standstill!     There is another a bit further down the hill and we have seen several very bad accidents, there is now major road works in progress to install what appears to be a roundabout, now once the french drivers get to grips with that things may improve. best regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]

Owen, you now realise that each and everyone on this forum is 'whiter than white' and have never ever done anything wrong especially when young...you will discover that they all have learnt French, all pay their way, all do their renovations to the French normes, they all did their 'homework' on moving to France and are such pillars of the community. Good luck with your return to the UK, at least yours is not one of the hundreds of UK registered cars left blocking up spaces in the various airport carparks.[6] best regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]

Just an update, we have just returned from our 'feast' and I have to say that the potage aux truffe was really very nice[:D] I still willl not write a letter home[;-)] best regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]

We are invited to a 20th birthday dinner this lunch time and on the menu is home made potage aux truffe, we have had truffels twice before and I still don't like them, in an omelette, with mashed potatoes and now as a soup, I agree with RG, 'French food is okay, but nothing to write home about' best regards [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG]
