[quote user="Marie"]Hello again, thought that we'd apply for these cards as had them in the past, though not been outside of France for fifteen years!OH's went through with verification e-mail, my e-mail says it will be looked into first.Decided to look out our S1's only to find that I don't have one, I registered for health care with an E121. Anyone else out there who registered with an E121? Presume this will still be valid as have had letters from UK about Brexit stating "as you are an S1 form holder..."Regards[/quote]My wife and I both registered with our CPAM via E121's (in 2004). The S1 is simply the new equivalent of the E121.We both applied for the new EHIC, and received verification on 9 Nov, when I started the topic "New European Health Card (EHIC)".

A neighbour swore to me years ago that his small son, asked on his first day at school if anyone could count, replied "Yes Miss, - one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, Jack, Queen, King"

Sounds little different from kiddies having a tiff to me.

[quote user="woolybanana"]It seems that 15 % of folk in France are anti any form of vaccination and 50% are anti the Covid jab, largely on the grounds that it had not been ‘proven’ yet.What percentage of the population needs to be done to get rid of covid?Should refusal be sanctioned in some way?[/quote]Yes, have them sign an attestation that if they contract Covid-19 they do not wish to be treated.

[quote user="NormanH"]Difficult to understand why non-Europeans would have access to a European heath card.Are they going to be offered to all and sundry now?[/quote]UK pensioners here have had to get their EHIC from the UK since about 2010.It seems to be mainly for people already resident or studying in the EU before Brexit.Details of those eligible are in the link which pomme provided, where there is a note "For most people, EHIC may not be valid from 1 January 2021", and on the page reached via the "Apply for your new EHIC".The person who contradicted my post on another forum is someone who likes to be the first to come up with exclusive information and thinks he has a position to maintain. He's welcome.

I think it may be listed under urologie.

I originally posted a link I had just received from the UK NHS regarding a new, post-Brexit EHIC for those Brits (with S1's) who have to get theirs from the UK and not from France.I posted it on this and other forums, and immediately a troll contradicted what I had posted, implying I was posting false information, and posted out of date "alternative information".I decided that it wasn't worth arguing, and that offering information which creates arguments and confusion does more harm than good. So I erased my posts on all the forums.I'm sure people here who need the information can find it themselves.

Try a Google search for up to date information.

[quote user="NormanH"]I should add that the tip you gave me about Toupargel has been invaluable, especially for household and heavy items.I had always assumed from the name that they offered only frozen food, but in fact there is a whole range of products that can be ordered on-line and delivered to the door with a choice of times in a 'window' that you can define yourself[/quote]Glad you found them useful. We only used them once, back in April, when we were worried by the crowds and lack of precautions in our local supermarket and shops, and found them reliable and reasonable value.As there is a Carrefour Market only a few hundred metres from the house we now do almost all our shopping there, but go at around 12.30 when it's usually quiet, and if not, go home until the next day.We have even been to Lidl and Aldi in Carcassonne a couple of times, but again, only when we expect them not to be busy.

[quote user="NormanH"]I have made my opinion of him clear in anothe thread, BUT he does do things like organising several distributions of free masks before it was done elsewhere, and this isn't to be sneezed at even if it helps those who can pay the prices that these boutiques charge rather than those on a minimum income..[/quote]I was just amused/bemused by the fact that they made only 17 deliveries in a day.
-
Norman, this should cheer you up, free deliveries to your house within 48 hours.He's already organised 17 deliveries in one day - in a city of 76,000.

[quote user="woolybanana"]Advance pardon has been discussed.[/quote]Surely that means he has to admit the crimes to be pardoned?We stayed up a bit late last night to watch some of Biden's inauguration party.He sounded as if he was still campaigning, and the whole event looked like it was taking place in some banana republic. People leaping and dancing in a sort of tribal ritual.
-
[quote user="Lori"]I don't think you can pardon someone who has not yet been convicted.[/quote]Maybe a "get out of jail free" card?
-
[quote user="Lori"][quote user="woolybanana"]OK, AP have called it for Biden. Phew! Now to see off fatty to the courts, bankruptcy and maybe prison. OK, one can hope.?[/quote]No kidding ! However, he did say he would leave the U.S. if he lost. So, better get those lawsuits going.I don't think I have ever hated a human being more than I hate Trump. ....... [/quote]That would be the icing on the cake!But I can't see him doing something that would please the Democrats, and, anyway, who believes anything he says?

[quote user="EuroTrash"]betise wrote the following post at 07/11/2020 11:32:Honestly, if by DDL they mean deadline, why not just write it in full? For one use of DDL they then say "In constitutive systems: until the end of the application DDL (grace period)set by the respective Member State / after the end of the DDL + certificate of application."Well just think of all the keystrokes they have saved!For DDL meaniing deadline:For other EU abbreviations - fill your boots (but it doesn't include DDL)https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/cybernews/abbreviations.htmBut, I do think that complaining about the EU using shorthand in its internal documents, is rather missing the point that these are internal documents. I'm sure that if/when the EU decides to write a leafelt about this for release to the general public, they will spell things out in full.[/quote]I think they are using textspeak, combined with bizspeak and verbosity like "MS to deploy the necessary human resources at their Border Crossing Points or to adapt the infrastructure" to make it seem they are really busy people. I'm surprised, though, that they didn't call the meeting a "Town Hall"[:D]ET. I don't think it shows transparency. It seems to me that they want to infer (send a message to say) that they are getting tough with the UK.Returning to my OP. They're using English for reports to a bunch of people from countries where they don't speak it. I know there are Irish there too, but they ought to use their own language.[:)]

[quote user="EuroTrash"]I didn't see any inexplicable abbreviations?(OK go on - call my bluff and make me wish I hadn't set myself up as Clever Clogs !)[/quote]Page 2 - EES & ETIAS - deciphered on page 8, I had no idea until I got therePage 4 - SBC & MS - I guess MS = Member State, SBC I have no ideaPage 12 - DDL - No ideaI think it's pathetic to use shorthand like this in an official document - Why???It's not written for French people whose whole lives are filled with acronyms for outlandish titles.I don't care anyway, stamps in passports provide a nice souvenir of one's travels. I put the dates and places of all the stamps on my previous seven expired or filled passports into a spreadsheet and sorted them by date, so I can accurately figure out where I was at any time.I think WB is correct about them
-
Recently published guide:-Don't ask me what all the abbreviations stand for[:(]I wonder if the EU are going to continue to use English for their communications? - maybe the UK should licence the use of it and charge them a fee, say a few million €'s per year.[:D]Might be a useful bargaining chip in the negotiations.

There is also a simplified "Sesame Street" version available:-

[quote user="chessie"]The version of the attestation that was on-line prior to mid-night last night did NOT include the words covering visits to shops (authorised) for essential supplies. ............................ [/quote]That's what I said in my earlier posts.[:)]
-
[quote user="Catalpa"]Agreed, Norman. That's the tick box I used when I went to the boulangerie (4 kms away) this morning. And the bit about establishments that are authorised to be open covers post offices - in my way of (lateral) thinking.Re versions of documents:As time passed, I think the previous attestations were... refined... to take account of ambiguous or missed points. I expect it will be the same this time and as long as the document comes from an official, government source, minor variations in wording shouldn't matter.Most people continue to use the version they first download and print - they won't be regularly checking back for updates unless they happen automatically on the digital version.[/quote]I guess so. There wasn't much time to get them out.The one I downloaded last night, just before the new rules came into effect, said nothing about shopping for necessities, or going out within a km for other than attending to the needs of a pet.I think it was designed for leaving the house outside the limits of a 6 am to 9 pm curfew.
-
I wish they would give serial numbers or ID's to the various versions of attestations.I have 3 current versions, all slightly different.I have saved, and printed a couple of copies of the one from the Service-Public site, which seems to be the same as Catalpa's. https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/actualites/A14405I can't see any category which really covers going to La Poste or even to a letterbox over a km away.

[quote user="NormanH"]https://www.clemi.fr/fr/cles-medias/la-liberte-dexpression-et-ses-limites.html[/quote]Unless I misunderstand, it says it is not allowed/acceptable to mock religion.
Anyone alive out there ?

"No," said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, "nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
