i am also amazed who many good deals you can get in the uk on line. for example i have just bought a ryobi log splitter in the uk, on line, by googling the product name. I found it, with free delivery for about £100 cheaper than in the shops, in either country and £100 cheaper than many other places on line. An of course the one in France came without a mains lead...grrrr Have members looked at a Guernsey site, where i get a lot of electronic bibs and bobs from, which are clearly expensive en france kim -

hi i was recommended an ex pat who came and examined the work i needed to be done.....namely the removal of 2 fairly high poplars (sic) near the house. i was told i needed a tree climber not a tree surgeon. i had tried contacting the pas de calais tree surgeons in yellow pages, but without reply in the end i transported 2 east sussex tree fellers out who dis the job and welcomed a days work and a bbq if you want the details of the ex pats, but properly reqisered, email me kim

id use a british builder any day and would take and have taken the risk. ive found french builders , workers, and suppliers generally to be absolutely hopeless though having said that recent experiance of an english builder working in dept 62 indicates he was/is worse than useless. maybe its just me, but being close to uk, i wouldnt hesitate it taking someone out from the uk kim

well good luck, theres certainly a need in france i had no luck getting the locals to show any interest an ex pat told be i needed a tree climber not a tree surgeon in the end i took two guys from the uk kim

I have an Epson Scanner, with a back light and im in the process of scanning old negatives where the pics have long since been lost. i have owned a dedicated negative scanner but would recomment a flat bed scanner, keeping dust specs off the negatives is always a problem, although i use a attached programme called digital ice which helps clean them up. if i were you id take them into a shop and they might put them onto cd, or email me as i dont mind scanning them putting them on a cd and mailing them back at postage cost kim

agreed, anything with a honda engine lasts for years kim
