[quote user="melmoth"]Hi,  Obviously I should need to get the car registered whereever I buy it - would this be a problem for a Belgium car? [/quote] No problem whatsoever, have done it myself.  No different from importing a car from UK.  In fact it is easier because it is LHD.[:D]

[quote user="cooperlola"]I'm finally going to get my head down and start the process of getting French citizenship.  [/quote] Good luck coops.  I intend to do the same in a couple of years, for exactly the same reason, to be able to vote fully in the country I live.

Not specifically aimed at british people, but to all incomers to an area, the AVF.

[quote user="andyh4"]I gather that Rhone Alpes has been put into East and I now understand the OP's confusion - which I share and I predict it will not be the last[/quote] andyh4 At the time that the OP posted, none of the regional headings stated which regions each covered, hence the question and my subsequent suggestions.  Now each regional sub-section clearly states wich regions each covers, so hopefully there should be no further confusion, even is we don't agree whether a region should be in such and such section.[:D]

A good place to start.

[quote user="parsnips"] By the way--where is Ron? [/quote] See here.

Jonzjob, I am amazed that is the first (not even proper[6]) scorpion you have seen.  They are ten a penny where I live, I probably see them once ot twice a week!

My understanding is that they do have something like a lithium battery inside, and that they do eventually fail.  Hence when this happens, you just go through a normal booth, and the cashier will scan the barcode on the unit.  You can then just apply for a replacement, or if you are lucky enough to be on a section of autoroute that supplied your box, and they have a booth, pop in and exchange it.

[quote user="under the sun"]Sorry for my ignorance but I can't figure out which of the regional sub-forums includes Lyon? Rgds Mike [/quote] It is now clearly in the East[:D]

[quote user="Clair"]I have updated the titles of each regional forum and each now lists the specific regions covered.   Even though some threads may now appear to be in the wrong regional forum, it would be much too much aggro to move them, so they'll stay where they are... [:)] [/quote] Many thanks.  I thought it might be too much aggro to move threads[:D]

No, you will pay tax in the UK, but still also declare the income in France to enable your Tax Effectif to be calculated.  No further tax will be payable.

Here in France for me is Home, when I refer to the UK I normally say "back in blighty".

[quote user="Richard"] I think someone on here said they got something last wek from the UK within 2 days of it being sent despite the strikes. Lucky maybe. [/quote] It was me, see here. Lucky maybe, but I am not alone I believe.

[quote user="JMB"]You can get copies of any companies kbis on line..[/quote] As already stated here.[Www] [quote user="chrish"]http://www.infogreffe.fr/infogreffe/jsp/information/extraitRcs.jsp you can get a copy on line at the above. [/quote] [quote user="JMB"]I find this helps to trace peoples adresses. So, for example, if you are owed money by a company and find that the gerant is a little bit on the slippery side then you can normally get a address and from there a phone number or go knock on the door.[/quote] Quite.[:D]

[quote user="lacote0_0"]Why not the French regions, possibly with a reminder somewhere of the departements which each includes? [/quote] I think it is asking too much. All current posts would then have to be sorted between each of the new sections.  All am I asking is to list on the home page what each section covers (as for example is already done for the SW, Aquitaine and Midi-Pyrénées). To prevent confusion such as this.

How about Loches? Although population is only about 7000.

I posted this idea as part of a response to someone's question, but wonder if it could be actioned? I have always wondered why on the front box of each section on the forum home page they don't just list the regions or departments that the Editors consider each covers.  

Hi and welcome to the forum. I would suggest a good place to start would be with this website.

I was really concerned about the effect of the strike on mail from UK to here, but a letter posted after 5pm in Basingstoke on Wednesday arrived here lunchtime on Friday[:-))].

[quote user="lacote0_0"]I think the answer is none. [/quote] What, it's not in any region[:-))] I think on this forum most questions re Lyon are posted in the south east section. Which actually makes the SE section massive as where I live is also considered in the SE section, and I am a five to six hour drive from Lyon.  I have always wondered why on the front box of each section on the forum home page they don't just list the regions or deprtments that the Editors consider each covers.

200€ here to empty fosse.

[quote user="Phoenix71011"]the reason for the renewal is to carry on trading as a market trader. [/quote] Thanks Phoenix71011.  As I have never needed to use my Kbis for anything, its nice to know there is a use for it!

[quote user="pachapapa"] Tuesday week Poitiers-Birmingham 45 minutes EARLY. Last Tuesday Birmingham - Poitiers 20 minutes EARLY. [/quote] I know, disgraceful.  It was the same for me last week, 30 mins early

[quote user="Phoenix71011"] I have just visited the site and ordered a new one....simples!! [/quote] Can we ask, are you opening a market stall, buying a company car or opening a new company bank account, or other such reason as to why you need a new copy?  Genuine question.

[quote user="AnOther"] What might be even more interesting for some is that they have a promotion on at the moment whereby you can have a dish installed for €99 but then they discount €49 of that via your bill and you can offset another €49 against tax so potentially it could cost as little as €1 ! I hadn't heard of this scheme at all, had anybody else ? [/quote] It is what I refered the poster to in this thread.
