  1. How market forces dictate prices.

    I need to go to France on saturday, to take some furniture etc over.

    The Tunnel seems to be a no go at the moment for a day tripper and in any event delays are uncertain.

    P&O quote £126 for a day trip and Sea France £160+. ( Usually £50-60).

    I telephone to be told space on the ferry was at a premium......ouch... i think i will wait

  2. hi

    im sure each case turns on its particular facts, and may include verbal or written agreements.

    in your case i suggest your words..we accept your offer... would be sufficient but depending on what the wording of the offer is?

     

    in a case where and offer is made and a cheque enlcosed, i suggest that cashing the cheque is accepting the offer.

     

    however, i specialise in criminal law...ha

  3. Eurotunnel chairman Jacque Gounon - who earlier said they hoped to return to half capacity during Friday - said the north tunnel, where the fire took place, would be closed for several weeks.

    The BBC's Europe editor, Mark Mardell, said Mr Gounon would not speculate on the cause of the fire, saying only that nothing had been ruled out or in.

    He added an investigation could only begin once the affected area had cooled down enough to enable the removal of the train.

    France's transport minister Dominique Bussereau told French radio station Europe-1 the cause appeared to be "something accidental".

  4. i was there yesterday, turned up to get the shuttle back to uk to find the booths closed....

    we sat in a queue for an hour before being given a ticket for p & o, and 40 mins later we were boarding.... very impressed.

  5. sorry just a quick query....

     

    Having returned from the states with some unused bucks, which is the best method to convert them to euros?

    1. convert them to £ and then to Euros.

    2. take them to france and convert them there.

    3.give them to my mate who is going to the states and get them converted to euros there.

     

    thanks for any advice

  6. hi

     

    i have the same nuvi. and ive found it to be great.

    yes ive gone down a tractor tack in france once, but i knew i was on the wrong road and should have diverted.

    however, the advantages are great, and its got me on the right track more often than not, in france, holland and belgium.

    and hey. i just updated my maps

  7. Im furnishing a maison seconde slowly in Dept 62. Living otherwise on the South coast of UK, I bought locally and the firm delivered for free to France.  It was just before xmas and he combined it with a booze cruise...He has said if I spend £1000 again he would do the same.  It was new, solid oak and I couldnt find the like in France

    The beds and the 3 piece suite I bought locally in France.  They were delivered and assembled for free, and although 1/3 more expensive than the Uk, I dont have access to a van etc, so I thought it was money well spent.

     

    Hope it helps
