Hi I went on Monday, It was very good, well worth a visit. I found it when leaving Ikea to get onto the rocade, at the roundabout where the new Buffalo grill is and conforama, take the first right. I didn't know it was there but saw the huge sign on the red roof and went to take a look. Regards Nina

I had the same problem when I got mine. At the time I had a computer enginere install it for me, so I can't say how he sorted it . The problem I have now is that I can't work out how to collect my messages. I have to connect an old phone to a different phone socket and dial 3103 - as i did befor. Following the instructions on the Alice leaflet I should dial *123 to get my messages. But I always have no messages, then i plug the other phone into a different socket and can collect the messages. If anyone can see where i am going wrong I would appreciate some help also Regards Nina

Hi I was very suprised it took so long to find a home, what a beautifull cat, I thought someone would have snapped her up, I wanted her but husband said no, the three we had was enough. Nina

Hi I am not sure if this would be the same sort of situation but... In England I was a guardian to a chinese girl. After moving to France she wanted to come and visit. I found out that her Chinese passport had to be translated into frech, she needed a visa and also a letter from our local Marie, I think this was a certificate de herbegment, but it was such a long time ago. I hope your situation is less complicated, Good Luck Nina
