On the last Census I remember someone getting into trouble for writing on the form that he was English and not British  but this was rejected.  I think you can sign Irish, Welsh or Scottish but not English.   I'll get my coat and go for a pound of spuds.

If you can get over to France try the local Supermarket notice boards where properties are advertised for sale from the owners with no Agents being involved.  Another good hunting ground is the local Mairie where again you may find Private Sales pinned up inside on the Information board - the Marie will also know of properties within the nearby area which are for sale but for some reason are not being advertised..  We also have found that the Notaire for the area have some private sales on the books.   Happy Hunting

Kai our daughter had eczema as a baby and sometmes still gets a bit of dry skin.  We  recommend  the following and it has had great success with ourselves and friends in the UK. For the bath and as a wash  A-Derma Avoine Rhealba its a Gel Moussant For the skin Sedagel by La Roche- Posay - A soothing Gel. Shop around as prices vary, excellent products. 

Excellent, they would grace any Calendar.

Could be the end of anything Low Cost the way things are going.

I needed a tyre fitted over here in the UK prices ranged from £10 down to a fiver which inc fitting and balancing. So if you can shop around I know it's not that easy in France as I had to have a new one fitted on an old VW LT28 gulp gulp and swallow the pill.

We have used Sodium Chlorate in the powder form to try to keep the unwanted weeds from the driveway and underneath the caravan but all to no avail.  Roundup did the job.  Got it from our local Allotment Clubhouse shop.

Try putting an advert in the local Supermarket near to where you have the Caravan.  The French put numerous tear off slips with the contact telephone number on, so people interested takes one from the bottom of the advert.

They will all be in " Freds Tray ".  At work we had one it is otherwise called " Too hard to do box ".

Any ideas as to where the card was cloned.  I had mine used in Turkey 6 months after we had left from hols.

We watch them for pure enjoyment but wonder where the money comes from especially the younger buyers.  Our Cottage in the Correze was bought in 2001 we had to get a new hot water boiler, septic tank, replace some oak flooring and give it loads of tlc as it had been empty for 5 years. But the total budget for the house and repairs came under £30k.  We still love the place to bits and will be there in April and then again for the Summer Hols.  We saw loads more for a higher budget but were realistic as to what we could afford at that time and mindful of future running costs and taxes. It is a 2 bed Cottage with 2 caves a floored grenier + nearly half an acre of grass, in a village with shops.  

I saw that one of the large UK Supermarkets had been selling I think it was sausage with the Label Gloucester Old Spot therby giving it a bit of clout.  It had been crossed with other piggies and was not a genuine Old Spot.  When challenged they said it is mentioned on the rear of the packaging. CHEATS I say. 

We are also in the Correze and do not get bothered with the buzzing little critters either, but we do still get bitten by some insects (daytime) and after being eaten alive cutting the grass I now dress up for jungle warfare.  Socks tucked into boots a jungle net hat and gloves, the neighbours have a laugh, but when I did it without the protection I got 19 bites all in a line on the back of my neck. Vitimin B1 did not work for us.

Saw this and thought of you. http://www.trap-man.com/the-trap-man-crayfish-trap.htm
