    Support Speedferries

    in Latest Good Value Deals to/from France

    Posted

    I support Speedferries, but just thought I'd mention something about the freeticket offers!

    Having bought a number of tickets before and being eligible for a freeticket and Mr W wanting to go over for a few days to take over wood for shed or something, I though that a Wednesday Dover to Boulogne  on 11th May and Saturday back may just be right.

    But has to be Tues, Wed or Thursday each way and booking now not even £38 or £50...but £68 for those few days ( £10 extra for booking on the phone )

    I am not sure what booking for school holidays will be this year, so worth checking.

    Still cheaper than the tunnel , but is a little more than we thought!

     

    Party invitation !

    in French Culture

    Posted

    I have been reading some old threads about inviting French neighbours to parties with a buffet. The comments seems to be that 'the French' don't seem to understand this type of do and want to sit at table and chairs. It can therfore be a bit difficult.

    We are planning a 'do' next month to which we are inviting friends and family from the UK, English friends in France and also French neighbours. We were planning a 6.30pm start with aperos and nibbles , and then a buffet table (English and French) starting about 8pm. I thought as some neighbours are very elderly , they may not want to stay all evening. They can if they want to of course !

    This is partly because we have now completd the major work on the house, so it is a sort of housewarming party.

    Could someone advise on appropriate wording for an invite to the French neighbours ...and any tips on managing the evening. Trying to seat 30-40 people is not an option!!

    Thanks
