What was the outcome, Hugh?

What the last date (roughly) that they can be moved? We are hoping to get some additional land but haven't succeeded yet.

The MG Midget might have gone under the barriers. [:)]  But they also went under lorries. [:(]

I am really enjoying reading all your replies.  I have cut and pasted the best ones to remind me what to do when I start "trading". I think that I am going to sell some things on Ebay UK and some on Ebay France. However, what things do you think will sell best on each?  English things on Ebay France and French things on Ebay UK? [8-)] Or vice versa? [8-)]

Mmmmm - I wonder.  Will people pay for this?  Can't they get this sort of advice for free on English speaking forums (fora?) like this one?

OK I'll have another go ...

If you are new on this forum, you do not know how to search.  I don't think that it matters if a subject is done to death.  It encourages new people to come onto the forum.  This question was the first question that I ever asked (only a couple of months ago) and Sunday Driver was a star.  Sunday - keep up the good work, even if you paste the same message several times - we need folk like you!

My rank is zero so I technically don't exist...

You guys and gals who have over 1000 postings must be online all day and all night.  I'm up to 60ish but struggling.  Mind you, I only post when I have something VERY GOOD to say. [;-)] How do you do it?

Yorks - you are a star.  That was very precise - thank you.  Doing that journey on a regular basis must be a pain.

Thanks Clair for the details.  It seems pretty harsh to me.  Perhaps this is an example about what is being said about the criminal justice system being so far removed from what we expect :  law abiding people getting penalised etc.  However, why would he have a stolen item for sale?

The priest at the local French catholic church where I live (one hour from Bordeaux) has 19 churches to look after.

With AOL, most of my spams are filtered automatically.  When they brought in their new spam policy, mine went down from 20/30 per day to 3 per week. I have to have a hotmail address as well for those people who are banned by AOL e.g. I ordered a tapestry set and the firm had been banned as they had emailed too many existing customers who had reported them.

I have enjoyed reading all your replies.  This forum is SOOOOOOOO useful.  It looks as if I am going to be spoiled for choice i.e. selling stuff on Ebay UK or Ebay France.  I shall try both and report back. Most of the stuff is things that I inherited when I cleared out Mum's house (oodles and oodles of fabrics - more than I need) and when I cleared the chai in my French house (French artisan things, such as pate pots, fishing tackle, hunting gear etc). It is going to be fun as all the proceeds will be profit.  First though, I need a better computer...

I have a whole load of things to sell. I never have enough time in England to sell things on Ebay but was wondering whether to do it from France. Would anyone recommend it, bearing in mind the length of time and the cost of postage? Alternatively, is there a French Ebay where I could sell my things?

I lurk a lot and post a little.  I joined in order to get a couple of questions answered and have stayed on because I enjoy the banter.  Long may it continue.  If we could only ask questions, the forum would die.

Thank goodness the UK is monarchy and not a republic.  John Prescott could have been our President...

Orion 2 - I was pleased that you included your link.  I clicked on it out of curiosity. Aquitaine People & Property It's good that there is a forum for the Aquitaine.  Thank you for alerting me to this.
