[quote user="f1steveuk"] we're filming at Cadours, where Raymond Somner died in a Cooper. Again still nearly all there, stands and all............. link shortened by a mod[/quote] Wasn't that Raymond Sommer?

Gastines - Do the following: Go to http://www.viamichelin.fr/viamichelin/fra Click on "Cartes et Plans" Enter "Rue André Campra" in the No et rue box  and  "93200 SAINT DENIS" in the Code postal, ville box Click on "Rechercher" You'll get a map of the area with all the hotel details. Good luck!

[quote user="toni"] what does this mean for all those of us who rely on RIBs to pay utilities etc??[/quote] Don't worry. The banks take care of it.

[quote user="monaco"]Yes, I believe my answer was identical to the one printed in red.  I wasn't sure what the question marks inserted in the words were for but all the words were correct. [/quote] And perhaps there lay the correct answer?

Yes, but was you really tick the right box?

[quote user="monaco"]I don't  know where to post this - the daily quiz has marked my two French translations as wrong but they are perfectly correct, according to the answers given!  Am I the only person being victimised in this was? [/quote]   I don't know where you posted your translations, but little details count for a lot [;-)]

[quote user="Suninfrance"] Can someone explain cheque emploi to me? Jan [/quote]   You'll find all the details here   Hope that helps.

[quote user="Forum Admin"]Which do you prefer? Unspoilt, tailor-made and brand new? Or old, charming and full of character? Have your say.... [/quote] Err ... Why ??

[quote user="Jonzjob"]OK Coops, so Paques is femmmminnninneee [:$]. [/quote] And plural, as Cooperlola posted [;-)]

[quote user="Jc"]If your home supplier(O2,Virgin etc.) is a UK one!!![/quote] Now I'm totally confused. Jonzjob's question is about phoning a UK number from a French phone. Cooperlola also has a French phone. So what have O2 and Virgin got to do with this?

Not deleted. It's here However the statement : This has been a valid discussion and has raised some serious issues. We have now had a reply from a member of Archant's senior management team and an undertaking has been given that the forum Code of Conduct will be amended to avoid any future misunderstanding. Everyone should now be clear as to the legal position, even if it isn't the answer that some may have wished to hear. makes the assumption that Archant can change the terms and conditions of forum use as and when they like and that forum users will be bound by such altered terms and conditions whether they have been informed of them or have agreed to them or not. I'll leave the legalities of that to others .....

There is a double taxation convention between the UK and France. For the purposes of that convention your husband will be deemed to be resident either in the UK or in France. You might like to point your accountant to this link

John - your UK state pension is paid gross, but it it is taxable in the UK. It's not a non-taxable benifit as you seem to think. The situation in France would be as Sunday Driver has explained.

We use Voipcheap several times a day, calling worldwide from France. Yesterday's calls amounted to over 2 hours of communication. No problems whatsoever, and it's working fine this morning. [:)]

You need FT's English-speaking hotline. From UK dial 0033 1 55 78 60 56 . I hope that helps [:)]

I can't help with wages, but this handy table gives the equivalent purchasing power of a franc over the years from 1901 onwards compared with 2001 and 2005.

Steve - Very wise to get a Frenchman to translate it! Basically Article 15 says that a French resident will not be taxed in France in respect of earnings in UAR (the other State) , unless he's there for no more than 183 days in a year AND the remuneration is paid by, or on behalf of, an employer who is not a resident of UAR (the other State) AND the remuneration is not borne by a permanent establishment or a fixed base which the employer has in UAR (the other State). But please get proper professional advice. [;-)]

Charallais - it sounds as though your daughter needs the assistance of a good solicitor specialising in familiy law to sort things out for her in the UK. Under the circumstances you describe she will be entitled to legal aid. The CAB will point her in the right direction if she asks. Edit: I posted this just as Traci was posting her reply. I've only just realised that she is still married - I'm sure that she must get the situation with her husband straightened out in the English courts.

There is a double taxation agreement between France and the UAE. I think the part which will apply to you is this one: Article 13 Professions dépendantes 1. Sous réserve des dispositions des articles 14, 15 et 16, les salaires, traitements et autres rémunérations similaires qu'un résident d'un Etat reçoit au titre d'un emploi salarié ne sont imposables que dans cet Etat, à moins que l'emploi ne soit exercé dans l'autre Etat. Si l'emploi y est exercé, les rémunérations reçues à ce titre sont imposables dans cet autre Etat. 2. Nonobstant les dispositions du paragraphe 1, les rémunérations qu'un résident d'un Etat reçoit au titre d'un emploi salarié exercé dans l'autre Etat ne sont imposables que dans le premier Etat si : a) Le bénéficiaire séjourne dans l'autre Etat pendant une période ou des périodes n'excédant pas au total 183 jours au cours de l'année fiscale considérée, et b) Les rémunérations sont payées par un employeur ou pour le compte d'un employeur qui n'est pas un résident de l'autre Etat, et c) La charge des rémunérations n'est pas supportée par un établissement stable ou une base fixe que l'employeur a dans l'autre Etat. 3. Sous réserve des dispositions des articles 15 et 16 et nonobstant les dispositions des paragraphes 1 et 2, les rémunérations qu'un professeur ou un chercheur qui est ou qui était immédiatement avant de se rendre dans un Etat, un résident de l'autre Etat et qui séjourne dans le premier Etat à seule fin d'y enseigner ou de s'y livrer à des recherches, reçoit au titre de ces activités, ne sont imposées que dans l'autre Etat. Cette disposition s'applique pendant une période n'excédant pas vingt-quatre mois décomptés à partir de la date de la première arrivée du professeur ou du chercheur dans le premier Etat afin d'y enseigner ou de s'y livrer à des recherches. 4.() Nonobstant les dispositions précédentes du présent article, les rémunérations reçues par un résident d'un Etat au titre d'un emploi salarié exercé à bord d'un navire, ou d'un aéronef, exploité en trafic international ne sont imposables que dans cet Etat. Toutefois, les rémunérations reçues par un employé d'une entreprise qui exploite en trafic international des navires ou des aéronefs, au titre d'un emploi salarié directement lié à cette exploitation, ne sont imposables que dans l'Etat où le siège de direction effective de l'entreprise est situé, lorsque cet employé possède la nationalité de cet Etat sans posséder en même temps la nationalité de l'autre Etat. You'll find the whole document HERE  Of course you must consult an accountant. Hope that helps.

I use this little programme and find it excellent. Note that you have to tell it when you're using MS Word, but it's really useful for emails as well.

For a dial-up connection you'll need a câble modem rj11 and a fiche téléphone gigogne. They are available from any France Télécom shop, electrical goods shop or medium sized supermarket.
