  1. http://www.thermes-larocheposay.fr/medias/documentation/brochure-cancer-2013/brochure-cancer-2013.htm

    The brochure above gives the details of how to arrange treatment, and what it costs.

    In essence your doctor prescribes, you get approval, as an ALD it is reimbursed at 100%, you get a rail ticket and 150 Euros towards accommodation costs.

    It's a lovely quiet little town just down the road from us.

  2. They have simply published a list of the countries that will not qualify.

    "This will affect those living in a European country with an average winter temperature higher than the UK.

    Expats in seven countries will lose the payment. They are: Cyprus, France, Gibraltar, Greece, Malta, Portugal and Spain"

    So if you live in Dover you get it

    If you live in Calais you don't

    If you live in Sicily you do get it.

  3. The aim of the policy is to reduce the number of providers in the market. I believe there are something like 100 operators across the EU. They believe that the market would operate more efficiently if there were 4 or 5 operators covering the whole market as in the USA.

    Merging suppliers would encourage greater investment in infrastructure which is currently hindered by fragmentation. It was stated that the 4G system in advancing more quickly in Africa than in Europe because of this proliferation of operators in the EU.

    We shall see!

    Includes

    Toute personne désirant édifier ou modifier une clôture doit auparavant adresser une déclaration à la mairie de la commune dans laquelle la clôture est envisagée.

    and

    La clôture devra être implantée sur l'alignement (c'est-à-dire à la limite exacte du domaine public et de la propriété privée) ou en retrait. Il est indispensable de demander à la mairie un arrêté d'alignement, s'il s'agit d'une voie communale.

  5. If you are over 70 or on benefits you can still qualify

    But the emphasis is now on professionally installation rather than selling DIY rolls of glass fibre.

    As for u turns, one can be expected fairly soon.

    The money has been diverted towards the Green Deal which has such a low take-up that it is bound to be revised. There aren't that many people prepared to take out loans for up to 25 years to cover energy saving projects.
  6. The cheap deals on insulation materials were a result of Government policy which required energy companies to spend money on energy efficiency initiatives.

    The first round of this was giving away, or virtually giving away light bulbs. The next phase, which ended in December 2012 was subsidising insulation.

    The funds are now being directed towards solar panels, better boilers etc under The Green Deal.

    If you want to wait for the next change of policy......

  7. There are about half a dozen on ebay.fr, but it rather depends on whereabouts you are as to whether they are of any interest.

    But given the prices some of the vendors ask, it's almost tempting to buy new.

  8. As Rabbie has said they are still using the same ship that LD Lines used.

    It's currently the one with a long corridor , semi-open or even outside car decks, and a tiny duty free shop.(Norman Voyager)

    The one's that causes real problems with unloading are the twins that normally operate between Newhaven and Dieppe (Alabatre and Seven Sisters). Though there have been rumours that one or other of them may return to the Portsmouth route in the near future, as Voyager may be neede to reinforce the Brittany top Spain route that is still belongs to LD Lines .
  9. Tesco Click and Collect is for non-food items only.

    It really works , you can order any of the things that you might find in the Argos catalogue, and they will be ready for collection at a local store the very next day. We ordered a Pyrex 2 litre basin, which cost £4 with free delivery. Less than 24 hours later we had an email to say it was ready for collection.It arrived in a box packed in 30 feet of bubble wrap. I don't think they made much profit on that, especially when you consider they use a courier to deliver to store.

    And before anyone asks, they don't stock that particular size basin in our local store.
  10. From Le Figaro

    Cependant, si le certificat de passage du contrôle technique n'est plus valable et que l'assuré se rend responsable d'un accident, l'assurance auto peut décider de ne pas faire jouer la couverture. Dans ce cas, l'indemnisation des dommages matériels et corporels sont à la charge de l'assuré.

    I assume the company would pay third party claims then recover as much of any payout, as they could, from the (ex) policy holder.
