  12. This morning at 00.46a.m. an e-mail  in French was sent to me, stating that 324euro had been put into my account  in erreur ,as I had the same name  as a person who was to be credited this money. The mail was from "Service Client"<[email protected]> and asked me to open a link to http:// mailboxfrance-web.com/information.php and" completez les informations de votre formulaire special remboursement"! I have not opened the link .....but surely SFR DOES NOT WORK AT MIDNIGHT!   I suppose they send this scam on a Saturday when banks are closed half day. I have not had any credit paid in today.Should SFR be told of this message Appreciate your comments. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT ANY DECENT COMPANY WOULD SEND A LETTER AND NOT AN E-MAIL. I AM NOT VERY CONVERSANT WITH COMPUTERS AND I AM  70 YEARS YOUNG. thanks.
  13. H as anyone used gas burners/lances to get rid of weeds on gravel paths/terraces etc. such as the garden torch 907 made by campingaz.? We have used Round-up and sodium chlorate but these chemicals are not good for the environment as well as being expensive.

I have not cut any wood with it as I am busy with an electric model cutting wood to length for the next awful winter. thanks for your help.

  21. thanks. Is the chip failure on the board inside the alarm?And did you actually replace the whole alarm 4 times??...or just the battery. thanks.
  22. Thanks,but to clarify for me did you replace Lithium battery 4 times or alarm?Alsoif the alarm setting /flashes are ok does this not mean that the battery is ok?...or doesit need a lot more life in the battery.What is the APPROXIMATE  cost of these batteries?7.2volts/5.2AH..They also have a strange connecter or is this normal for this size battery..? THANKS[8-)]
  23. HI, I have an AQUASENSOR SOLAR ALARM and it is 4years old .Today when I did weight test alarm did ot go off.I have aDomo boxin the house which is plugged into electric socket and it has a green light and a yellow flashing light .It states surveillance active and perte radio sur detecteur. The actual pool alarm works with the magnets to start or stop activity. Any ideas as to what is giving me the problem.It uses a lithium battery,claimed to last 7-10 years...it is  only 4 years old and since it is showing the nomal flashes when you stop /start the surveillance,presumably still ok.[8-)]  
  24. HI. HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION. I have joint account with my wife and a small livret account in my name only.If I die first  does the livret cash go direct to my wife .We have  a tontine agreement since we came to live in France in 2001.We have 2 adult childen in their 40's not living at home.![:D] Thanks.
  25. If you have no deflecters put black electrician's tape on to reduce the beam height if no adjustment possible and drive a little slower.Somemay say this can harmyour headlamp glass but I have not had any problem myself. Re cats eyes  ..these are an English invention,pre war(1933 Ithink) and mostly used in the uk. The use of the polyethylene plastic tiles used  with 2 rows of reflective beads are stuck onto the road surface with epoxy glue  and were used from around 1970. They are in available  as white,yellow and red  ,so that they can indicate the slip roads etc. off the moterway.They are not solar reflective and maybe your rear ligHSts have lit them up as you pass them unless they have been developed since my time in the paint industry. THEY WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE IN MY OPINION TO USE.
