  1. Plod, Did you mean i have upset another forum member? because i can t imagine how. Thanks for all the info, will have a sit down a nd read thru it all wheni have time
  2. Hi Plod, any particular reason to stay away from Aveyron??
  3. I know this is a very old post but ,,,, i have been to Spain and i want France back,, i miss it, i miss the people, i miss yves at Taxo les Pins, i miss the mountains, i miss everything that is French. i know there was a lot of missunderstanding about who i was, i am not the other person, i am "THE FRANC O FILE" i want to be in France, but i need a means to live there, i have a partner and 2 children  I am, CORGI registered and have many other quals. can somebody tell me what i need to do  to survive in France
  4. i am a corgi registered gas installer in Blighty,  i am interested in moving to France, forever, what do i need to know about "coming over and making a living in France" This may seem like a straightforward question, but i'm sure the answer is not   I am not the franc o file you all hate, honest
  5. are there any plans to introduce a smoking ban in France?  if so what format will it take? Do you think anyone adhere to it??
  6. Thank you, both for your replies, hopefully, should be coming down to Argeles in the summer (really miss it and the people) used to love the orange tree just as you come out of the car park by the train station and "Chez Max" at St Andre. The first place i stayed in France was a little campsite at Canet Plage, it had a huge effect on my life, used to love walking the length of the beach from the port right the way up and back. St Cyp was beautiful, the whole area, the view of the Pyrenees, we even drove up to Andorra a few times (what a trek, what a road!) Really looking forward to coming back to look around  Can still remember apartments for sale at Canet Plage for £ 11,000
  7. [quote user="TWINKLE"] Night Bless both and good luck Franc o (BTW -I'm Welsh too[:)]) [/quote] The best people are  [:D] do you think the Welsh have a greater affinity with the French because of our Celtic ancestry? night all
  8. just because your female doesn't mean you can't have a female OH[:)] (and no, i'm Male and my OH is Female) how would things have worked differently?  elaborate please(dish the.. no)
  9. Hi Twinkle, i refer the honourable gentleman to the answer i gave some moments ago[:D]
  10. That sounds great, Chez,   I have no personal interest in Toulouse but just wondered if the situation was true and if so, is it indicative of being a foreinger in France? Tresco, you capitulator, you.  do you regret letting your OH get her own way?
  11. Hi Tresco, I can imagine why anyone, French or otherwise, would thinks Brits stupid, have you ever been on a campsite with Eurocamp, Eurosites and all the other ops with several hundred British kids? I have held my head in shame on occasions, fortunetely not been on that kind of holiday for several years. We bought a static caravan from a very British site in Argeles sur Mer several years ago and had the option of siting it there......... not happening, we paid extra to have it towed up the road to a French site, afterall, we were in France, we didn't want to feel that we were in "little Britain"
  12. Hi, Does anyone live any where near Argeles sur Mer?  if so can you tell me how much it's changed in the last 5 years or so. Used to have a "mobile home" at Argeles and loved the area very much. Would like to sell up in the UK and move over to France but I've got to convince the OH it's the right thing to do.
  13. Hi Twinkle, I've been working in Brum so had no internet access ( Ron didn't scare me off) What i was alluding to in my original post, was that a friend of mine has just taken redundancy from the aerospace industry but was offered a contract in Toulouse, he decided to retrain and have a complete career change (like myself, we met at college) He has heard from a lot of his previous colleagues that the French in Toulouse are very "annoyed" at the influx of Brits in the area, pushing up the house prices, taking all the jobs etc, although, he did say the only reason so many Brits have gone over there is because there are very few( if any) locals who have the skills needed for the work they are doing. I was wondering if this situation was rife in France or were my "holiday" experiences more on par with those of you who live there permanantely. Didn't mean to skate around the issue but didn't want to come out all guns blazing
  14. just one last word, wanna see if my avatar works. cool
  15. Tresco, again, thank you,  I thought i had hit a nerve or something, i use other forums and people tend to be a little bit more understaning when a newbie sins so thoughtlessly. I accept that i should have used the search facility and i will never stoop so low again (imho most of these forum search facilities are shite, but don't tell the mods i said that ) sorry if i got peoples backs up for being the wrong person,[:)] sorry for going on the defensive but i'm Welsh, what can you expect PS i have removed the offensive "dish the dirt" from the original post to help to calm people who were so offended by it!
