  1. At our local library it's supposed to be 2.40 euros/hour but quite oftens the librarian waves me away when I go to pay
  2. I loved Instructions for Visitors but it did suit my frame of mind at the time. I've just finished Patricia Atkinson's La Belle Saison - loved it as I did The Ripening Sun. Found Carole Drinkwater's books a bit icky but have read them all the same ... Val3
  3. Val2 - 'fraid I was just very unimaginative when it came to choosing my name!!  I am a relatively new poster but have lurked for a while and have never seen Val1
  4. I opened a CA Britiline account last year and I'm only charged for the Mastercard. When the chap from Caen phoned to set up the account he mentioned about a 5Euro/month charge for extra services (I think it also covered insurance on the card) and I chose not to opt for it. I think this maybe the monthly charge that some of you mention. However, I still have free internet access to the account, regular statements etc. My only problem (and it's not specific to CA or Britline) is that I'm still based in UK and need to pay relatively small amounts (£500-£1000) into the account at a time which my UK bank charges a fortune for, the currency companies don't seem interested in sums like this so I end up buying traveller's cheques and posting them which is a faff because of the limits on the value of mail imposed by the Post Office. Doea anyone know of a better way? Thanks Val3
  5. Have sent you a PM - please get in touch if I can give you anymore info! Val
  6. Ahhh, this talk of putrefying rat smell following poison takes me back to my childhood days growing up on a farm. We used to have to avoid having visitors until the smell had gone or until my dad had found the corpse.   A friend of mine had squirrels in her loft and the council advised her to leave a radio playing which would cause them to leave apparently. It worked but I've never asked which radio station it was that they didn't like! Val
