Thanks for all your supportive replies. I'm sure it was just some mating insect.

Don't know, we're not back to the house until late May.Trying not to think about it to much !

The wifes just listened to the recording and as she says ,its more a rubbing noise than a banging noise.I shall have a look next and see what I can see! Presumeably,if its deathwatch it would be all year round and not seasonal?

Just found a recording of a deathwatch beetle and that is the sound.

Yes ,the finger tip tapping is exactly what it sounds like.If it is Deathwatch what does that entail?
-
I think it must be insect of some kind because it is so rythmic.Also,if you bang the ceiling or wall it doesnt stop, whereas a bird or mouse,you would think,might.

Not sure if anyone can help in this section but here goes.
I was at my house in the Cher at the weekend and there were some very strange noises coming from the loft.The loft I should explain has a mud floor .The noises were a bit like cicadas but only four ratchet sounds at a time.Is it some kind of beetles mating call or something and if so need I worry about my house being eaten ? -
Thanks for that ,perhaps I'll take a ride along there and have a look.

We do Fajitas on our raclette.You could do lots of things like this.

Does anyone know how complete the A85 from Vierzon to Tours is.The website says 2008 for all of it but you know how good they are at coming in ahead of schedule.

I'm looking at ways of getting to the Cher in August without my car,(meeting the wife down there.)Does anyone know of a site on the web for internal French flights preferably in English as I can fly to Le Havre from Shorehem.

I travelled out 22 and back 31st december,no problems at all .In fact both times got on an hour earlier and we were part of a French Customs experiment with their dogs .That was quiet interesting if not a little strange.

Surely Birch is better for beating !

Sorry Cooperlola ,but the correct term for described fencing is chestnut "spiling" .Paling is just a general term for the act of applying pales.

Not sure if I'm in the right forum but here goes.I've used the sentiers de emily walking books in a few regions of France but having now settled in the Centre I wondered if anyone knew of a region list of these walking books. I can't seem to find anything in my local bookshops.

I must confess I have done that in the past. Trouble is it just lowers them not deflecting them,so the side of the road is very dark.

Does anyone know of a deflector that can be removed and re-applied as and when needed ?It proves quite costly having to keep buying them

Travelled out on the 5.50pm on Friday 20/10 ,straight through check in,very kindly put us on the 5.15 train ,then disaster.The train broke down and could'nt move ,sat and watched our 5.50 train leave they then unloaded and reloaded us onto another train ,finally left at 6.40. Still,thems the breaks I suppose.Coming home Sunday all was fine and on time.

My doofer lays on the dash ,never had to wave it about at all.

Not sure if they do twinwall but most of the D.I.Y sheds do flues etc.

Please tell me I'm not being Anoraky, I was only curious.

Does anyone know of a website that tells you of proposed new motorways or upgrades to motorways/N roads?

Surely France is going to become more like England because so many Brits are moving there and not integrating,imposing there own standards and lack of respect on the locals
