Visiting a friends house today in the country we were shown a number of trees that initially looked like a cat had scratched/flexed their nails but on further investigation these "claw" marks are 2' 6" off the ground and the length of the claw mark is 12" and whatever it is there are 5 claws. A neighbour has suggested a lion! Any ideas other than a lion??

Excellent company - we have used them regularly...........

Does anyone know if the fast cat "Norman Arrow will be running on the Ports/LeH route in 2011?
-
Montana Clematis and we use Jardiland
-
Had an excellent lunch there today.....would recommend it.

On the recommendation of Pool Guy I use the Hayward Pool Vac Ultra and for in the region of 400Euros it is brilliant.
-
OK - do you have their email address?

We have used this service twice so far this year and it would be our choice of crossing for the summer period. Living near Portsmouth and with our house in the Charente Maritime we are 11hrs door to door and no need for abn overnight crossing/cabin.
-
Has anyone tried it yet?
-
Looks like the storm passed through the Charente Maritime quickly without too much damage, etc..........is that correct?
-
But the warning also says that it is not expected to be as strong/bad as the tempete in 1999.

It could be bad but the warning also states that it is not expected to be as bad as 1999.

Hi - that's not what the lady from FT (English helpline) told us. Yes - you can suspend the FT line (but only if you have set it up as a Residence Secondaire) and then you have to contact Orange direct to "cancel" the internet connection for the same period. The FT lady advised us that we need to contact her/them approx. two weeks before we want everything re-connected and that they (FT) also look after the re-connection of the internet as well.

Spoke to a lady (Irish) on the English helpline and she was very, very helpful and we are now in the process of getting everything sorted out. Should take about two weeks to "convert" the line to RS and then we can - by calling the English help line again - suspend the telephone line and internet. She said allow two weeks for re-connection when we decide on our return in 2010.

Thanks - is that 0800 364775?The impression we got was that they could just not be bothered at the FT shop!

I appreciate that this has been the subject of another posting but as a result of visiting FT in Saintes yesterday we are totally confused and hope that someone out there can provide more information/clarification.It is quite clear from everything we have read that if you have a RS you are able to suspend the telephone line and internet connection for the period you are not in the house (in our case 6/7 months). When we started to look into this we found that our FT line was not set up as a RS (don't know why) but it seemed simple enough to get it changed by providing evidence that our main residence was in the UK. With all neccessary papers in hand we went to FT in Saintes yesterday and after a short explanation we were told the following:1. Our line cannot be changed to RS because we only have one line in France which covers phone and i/net. This seemed a little odd but the lady was very specific.2. If the above is true (and we doubt it) why is the suspension service offered in the first place?3. The lady said we could suspend the i/net - no problem but if we suspend the actual phone line then there is no guarantee that we will get our same number back and it may take weeks to re-connect.From everything we have read on this forum and from the FT www - it does seem that it all hinges on having the line classified as RS but FT (in Saintes) were having none of it!! We will be packing up in 3 weeks and returning to the UK for up to 7 months and want to get this sorted - so is there anyone who can help us or at least point us in the right direction?Thanks in advance...............
-
Is it possible to suspend both the telephone line and broadband connection from the FT www?
-
Thanks - very useful information.

To get the 180 days with L&V there is an additional charge of £19.40 on a comp policy...........I've just got a quote on-line.

A few days ago I notice a small hole in the corner of one of the steps. It is quite clearly where the gell coat/GRP was not thick enough (seen it on boats many times). Does anyone know if there is a repair "medium"? I have searched the web and there seems to be an epoxy mix which can be used underwater (I am not prepared to empty half the pool to get to the hole).

EDF installed a "remote" reader on a telegraph pole close to our house and they read it once a year in Feb....simple as that.

No worries - company is "alive and well".........on Rte de Saintes, Saint Jean D'Angely.

Does anyone know if the above company - in St Jean D'Angely - is still operational. www is not functioning and the phone number I have sounds like it is disconnected.
