  1. Would an ordinary screen recorder really give a large enough image to be usable? Most of them only have tiny screens.

    The only thing that seems to advertise itself specifically as an overtaking camera is this one

    at £150

    Which has a screen roughly twice the size , like a typical satnav. Even that strikes me as being a bit small!

    There is also this Boys Own periscope contraption, which at £40 is at least considerable cheaper!

  2. I believe that the option to reclaim via Newcastle no longer exists, reimbursement has to be claimed from CPAM

  3. It's Portsmouth-Le Havre with DFDS (LD Lines) that finishes at the end of the year.

    The future of Newhaven-Dieppe is also in doubt, but it seems that the authorities have scraped together a bit of cash to keep it going into 2015 while further tendering/procurement activity is undertaken. However there is a real chance that by 2016 that line will also have closed down.
  4. Waitrose had a scheme for selling these less than perfect fruit and vedg abut eight years ago. It didn't seem to last for very long.

    And strangely enough they have recently been relaunching the same kind of thing

  5. Having closed the short-lived Poole to Spain routes at the start of the month, DFDS are now talking to the unions with a view to stopping Portsmouth - Le Havre at the end of the year.

    With a question mark hanging over the future of Newhaven - Dieppe it looks like Brittany Ferries will soon have the non-Dover routes all to themselves.
  6. From their website

    Conditions d’octroi (sans obligation de domiciliation des revenus)

    Revenus de 1 200 € nets/mois minimum

    ou

    IE you either need a certain level of income or to hold a minimum balance in an accountant with them
  7. I think what happened was that FT simply continued the payment system which existed on Minitel when the Internet took off. Virtually all of the content on there had always been chargeable once you ventured beyond directory enquiries.

    I imagine that they expected it to become the norm for the majority of sites to be chargeable on the internet as well!

    It's alwas surprised me that here isn't a law forbidding sites from giving away news content since it could be classed as competition deloyal!
  8. If the house was a near total rebuild, a French buyer is likely to ask for proof that you took out the "Assurance Dommages-Ouvrage". They may use the absence of this as a further negotiating tool.
