How come the major French supermarkets have been named and shamed in another thread for the high price of their baked beans, is that allowed then? Should I report that thread? regards Pearly

Hi,   £5000 pounds is a pretty low budget for a campervan (camping cars in France) to get one of the big coach built vans so you may need to look at a smaller van based camper with a free standing awning, maybe a VW. Or      Take a look here on Ebay, a few LHD too, good luck. http://motors.search.ebay.co.uk/lhd_Campers-Caravans-Motorhomes_W0QQfromZR34QQsacatZ121904 regards Pearly

[quote user="Ron Avery"]If you had done a serach you would have found this http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/987087/ShowPost.aspx It looks like it will not be doing much for some time.  Not sure what you mean by "which airports it will serve". [/quote] He obviously means "which airports will it serve" at the moment the info is sparse but the web site did say that a low cost airline will offer two flights a day to London so I guess that will mean Stansted, there is also mention of some internal flights possibly by Air France. as has been written elsewhere the work seems to have slowed almost to a halt at the time of writing, promises that it would be in use by summer 2007 have proved false, roll on 2008. regards Pearly

I really do hope that some of your English guests are members of this forum and get to read your comments about them, you must be such a gracious host.[+o(] regards Pearly

[quote user="woolybanana"]You got the book of recipes ok Pearly? let me know what you think. Remember to remove the squeak too. [/quote] Thanks Wooly,    I have the book and I am now onto more adventurous recipes, I will be out shopping today for a large pan for the cow, if things get deperate then I will give Dan a call. By the way do you have a copy of the 'Composting Toilets for Parrots' book as I am having terrible trouble getting them (the Parrots) to flush. regards Pearly

I have some friends have second, third and fourth homes in the Ardenne. None of the income is declared and when questioned they just move on. regards Pearly

I find that it improves the flavour if the fur is removed first, oh and any little cute little ribbons or bows. regards Pearly

Hi,   can anyone tell me how many carbs in a strawberry mini milk?  Thanks. regards Pearly

I was in Reims last week and I may be in Champagne Ardenne next week but I have never been to me.[:)] regards Pearly

[quote user="heidi h"]  I am currently selling my property with IFP (internet french property). It is a pretty good site and the advert cost 117 euros for 12 months with up to 10 pictures. In 3 weeks I have had 148 views, 3 enquiries and 2 visits which is a lot better than some of the estate agents! Also without agents fees you can sell it cheaper and appeal to more people! Once you have had an offer I assume you approach your notaire and take it from there. It might be wise to speak to your notaire first and find out exactly what to do (something I should do too!!) Good luck! [/quote] Something maybe you should have done before advertising and getting 148 views, did you tell the viewers that you hadn't a clue what you were doing? Just a thought.[;-)] regards Pearly

[quote user="Salty Sam"][quote user="Dick Smith"]I think that advent of embalming has largely eradicated that danger... [/quote] Unless your wish is to be buried at sea! You can't be if you've been embalmed, so if your not quite gone - you drown!!![:(] Lifes a b***h and then you die! [/quote] Not quite right, " Life's a b***h and then you marry one[6]

Hi all,       I have a car in the UK that has no paperwork, if I drive it over to France is there any way that I can apply for a certificate of conformity? I can print up a receipt for the car on the computer, will I need to produce any other documents? Can anyone help otherwise I will have to scarp it.[:(] regards Pearly

Never been a 'horse' person but have always admired the Percheron after staying at a friends in the Cher where there were two stabled in the next door farm, beautiful and well done Morse, good luck to you.[:)] regards Pearly

I found that the best way to get away from my X wife was to make sure she could never find me by burying her in the woods up the road from our old house, so far it has worked a treat.[:D] regards Pearly
