At last someone who can see the whole point, and still smile, thats what these forums are all about or should be just different points of view without getting stressed well said LanguedocGal.  [;-)][:D]    

Yes and truth hurts I guess, and for all those expats who don't want to mix with other brits, why are you on this site!

I wonder if us Brits over in France do not want anymore English in their village  because as I understand from a french friend that she thinks its because us brits ruined one country (not us of course guys) and now the Brits are over trying to do the same in France.  Made me think.

Thanks for your reply, I have plenty of french pals, but it is still nice to speak to ex pats, I agree some do only mix with their own and some are so anti any more brits it borders on pathetic, bearing in mind they like to live in France, Spain etc, but don't want to share the area with any others.  Thanks for the advice, but as I said French pals I have plenty and love it here.

[:D]Hi Having moved permanently to Pas de Calais in August last year, having our home for 4 years, I wondered and have not found yet any ex pats (other than two really good friends who live here).  Its nice to mix with the locals, but also it would be nice to meet up with other ex pats to share ideas and swop stories, general information etc.  Have asked before on other forums but there doesn't seem to be much response, is it just not as friendly as further South where reading on forums there seems to be a lot going on, or is there no one out there!   Teresa Sains Les Pernes 62 Pas de Calais
