    Sat Nav so frustrating......!!!

    in Driving in France

    Posted

    We bought one in UK and the first time we used it here in France we ended up getting lost, our fault as we did not do exactely what was instructed. We used it going to Charles de Gaulle airport to collect family and it was wondeful and I can honestly say that we would have never in a million years have located the hotel we were staying at but it took us right to the door...wonderful gadget. It is nice to have another woman in the car to talk too as well, although she deviates from the subject I am talking about all the time.

    Thank you for replying so quickly. I may have to make my FIRST  trip to the English section of SuperU, very begrudgingly, as I have always refused to pay the earth for things but no alterative until I re stock in UK.

    I have been using gravy granuels bought in UK but I want to try some French gravy. Suggestions  please and which supermarket. We like a fairly thick gravy so do they compare with English ones. Yes, I know I could make it from scratch but I don't want to as  it is bad enough making bread, pies, growing veg so I am lazy where gravy is concerned.

    The bottom line is that he is a grown man and should never be thinking of children in any other way than ....just children. I appreciate the fact he has served his sentence but the sex register is to prevent that sort of thing happening again, hopefully.  If that is his preference it may be difficult for any urges to diminish purely because he has been in prison. I am not an advocate of anyone taking the law into their own hands and I certainly do not feel that the tax payer should cover the cost of protection, a million pound a year was quoted on the radio by a police chief.  I have nothing but contempt for anyone who takes advantage of minors and I know he is among hundreds even in UK who do this but as far as I am concerned Asia seems an easy target for this sort of thing and the publics reaction would be the same if it was " joe bloggs " who was being sent back and in the media.  

    Does alcohol help your French?

    in French Language

    Many years ago when OH was in the Navy he spent a lot of time in various French ports. His best friend could not cope with the language at all but when he was off his face with booze he was almost fluent as all the French he knew came flooding back to him. It is still a standing joke to this day.

    Hello Polremy

    I thought I had sent an email to you, see, I am hopeless at all this. No, It was in the West Country but I would imagine it is a countrywide thing to lots of people in that sort of position. Fortunately, at least the two we know of were caught, sentenced and put on the register and will never be allowed to go anywhere near children again.

    What items can you not stop buying. Mine is bedding and when I cleared out my airing cupboard in UK prior to moving here I was horrified. I still had bedding from my youngest daughter's bedroom and she left home years ago. I was very strict and threw a lot away but I am finding each time I go back to UK and I see a nice set I buy it. My bedding here now is increasing very quickly. So lets find out what you cannot resist.

    Hello Ron

    Yes I totally agree with you. Many so called civilised men are exploiting these children but G Glitter is the one I know about so I have no sympathy for him . For any man to take advantage of the poverty of children is dispicable. It will always go on and nothing we say or do will stop it but the thread is about G Glitter and how some of us feel about him. You ask why the girls were available in the first place, I would have thought that was self explanitary....poverty and of course men native to their own country taking advantage of the situation they are in. No I can see that G Glitter did not use his looks or fame to get to them jsut his perverted ways.

    I feel very uncomfortable with any one who abuses children, famous or not. The hype over him is because he is famous and sadly we do not get to hear about most of the animals in our midst if we did then I am sure it would be the same reaction by most folk.  Two of my granchildren were having private one to one music lessons a few years ago by a guy who also taught in many schools and he was eventually sent to prison and is now on the sex offenders list. My grandchildren, fortunately, were not involved but the thought of someone in a position of authority doing things like that makes me feel sick. So maybe Mr Glitter, because of his so called fame thought he could get away with it but there is a limit to what money can buy.

    As I mentioned in a previous thread Asda have alresdy done this with the tinned peas and they are awful. We have been eating peas with additives for donkey's years so why do we all have to have this thrust upon us. If it's not broken don't fix it is what I say. Yes, eat healthy foods and I very rarely ever bought pre packed dinners always cooking with fresh veg  etc. but I cannot see that a small tin of GREEN peas are going to kill me.

    I think his " fame " has spread so much now that he would find it very difficult for any country to willing accept him with all the media hype connected to him. He is at present having talks with the British Embassy so it is a strong possibilty that he will go to Britain eventually. I know he is not welcome in numerous countries and a lot of folk are saying Britain does not want him but at least he would be stringently monitored unlike some other country who could just say that he is welcome and do what you want.
