Randy tried that. Soon sorted her then *uggered off to the pub

perhaps we should censor that admission  

Ian is rich

Might she have been winding you up? Mark you I have known a fair few round the places I've been who sound similar. Some survive. Most don't

Did you watch Carmen late last night?  

Yeah Sweets, you went to the same school of thought as me[6]

Mine were cleaned every five years or so and nobody noticed so I stopped.

Great, this should run and run.[6]

Trouble is, the "kid" is right.

Well, the OP runs a business here and her kids are here, and she is apparently resident here. Her husband is non resident apparently, nor domiciled, so the French do not know if the marriage is extant or not. Fine, I sort of see their logic on that part, but for the rest she is here alone running a business, with four kids in school, so should pick up from France. And in UK, she is not resident apparently, Could be seen as separated from husband. Besides, I think CA is a non contributory benefit isnt it. Before anyone foams at the mouth, been there, done it but a few years ago now. And still have a claim outstanding after 23 years. Have sort of given up on that one.  

If they live in France (ie more than 183 days per annum), then the French pay surely. Based on a gite business. Indeed it would be somewhat higher here I think. Surely it is where the children are resident that counts.

Why on earth should the British taxpayer shell out for your children when you dont even live in the country?

What is this 'foreigners' account'? You should have the same basic account as anybody else. And €4.50 per month? Not a lot of money I know but all the same. Is this a separate charge for foreigners or what? Is there a specific service for that money?  I'll have to check mine but I dont think I pay anything.

a pleasure to watch the rhythm of a floor being scrubbed though[6]

dark or at a certain time? I wonder is someone upline is downloading massice amounts of stuff at cheap rates?

Probably stops 'er getting stiff elbows though as she doesn't have to rub so hard  

But it is nice to make 'er life a bit easier, isn't it?

say you think it was nicked then  

Yah, I didnt dare say it[:$]

Singing would have done it?[:P] Complaints not made before the time of departure must always be viewed with suspicion, surely.

reading between the lines, it will be very much more difficult or even impossible to get IB and live outside the UK.

Polish companies and Polish plumbers are legal now I believe.

Someone will buy it if you set a realsistic price, which is a euphemism for bog cheap.

Well, if it helped the customer to modify their behavious ever so slightly then it might serve some purpose beyond mere venting then.
