    Spain, not France but they must be short of funds

    It's much more than sticking to posted limits 'idun'.

    "If the Guardia Civil observe a motoring offence and note the vehicle registration number, this provides sufficient evidence to prosecute. There is no need to stop the vehicle."

    Therefore IF a policeman walking along a footpath for example, and decides that in his opinion, you are speeding then you will be found guilty.

    Energy Survey - not our best experience.

    Having decided to 'test the water' we are in the process of putting our house on the market, part of which is the Energy Survey.

    Now I don't know if we just 'got a bad one' but the guy who turned up, well...............

    Started off by saying that our '1 metre' stone walls were bad - no insulation.

    Looked at our garage roof through a bedroom window and said 'Asbestos' will have to be removed. (The panels are actually Fibre-cement) and I have the receipt for them. (Its not even part of the bloody survey)

    Virtually called us liars over the amount of wood we buy for the wood-burner. Usually bought cash from local farmers so with no receipts he insisted on us signing an attestation to that effect.

    Cast doubts on our heating oil usage despite producing receipts for the last eleven years.

    The guy clearly couldn't understand that we heat our house to suit OUR needs and not some written 'norm'.

    Not a good experience at all.

    What has gone on (swimming pool)

    in Swimming Pools in France

    My 6.5 metre round above-ground pool has been perfect this year. Crystal clear and chemically pretty-much spot on.

    Removed the cover two days ago and it has turned a brilliant bright green, literally overnight.

    I've tried a choc treatment and anti-algae treatment and it hasn't made the slightest difference.

    Interestingly, my neighbours pool has done almost exactly the same, weird or what !!!

    My only thought is that the massive combining going on all around us has, in some way affected it.

    Any advice welcome.

    All you people playing the 'racist card' are surely missing the point.

    Fact: An huge amount of foreign aid currently ends up in the wrong hands and does buy 'Raybans' & Ferraris for those corrupt individuals in power.

    Fact: A lot of this spending is quite ridiculous given the current financial state of the UK.

    Fact: Argentina did buy Portugese-made fighter planes with money received in handouts from the UK. If it ever kicks off again over there our soldiers would be facing weapons bought with UK money.

    So feel free, play your racist cards and never let the truth get in the way of a good moan.

    Thanks Pierre,

    Its the Login on the blue bar I'm trying to use - the cursor doesn't change to a 'hand' and I can't get it to register at all.

    I've just downloaded Chrome and it is giving me the same problem.

    'Login-Join-Settings' all don't work. Everything else on the page does

    Wierd given it works in Safari.

    Help please

    On Firefox the 'Log in' on the forum page is greyed-out meaning I can't Log-in.

    I have reloaded Firefox and the forum bookmark but still no go.

    I am using Safari OK but I can't load photos etc with Safari.

    Any advice welcome thanks
