  1. You will be issued with a new certificate of insurance, it's called le Mémo Véhicule Assuré. Which you must carry to show to plod should they ask to see it.
  2. A shame it doesn't happen in the UK, although if it did certain towns would probably become like Dodge City on a Sunday, empty. 😀
  3. My grandson attended a private school, our family couldn't have afforded the fees in any way shape or form, but the lad got a bursary due to his talents. So if you are inclined to work hard the Private education is available to "plebs"
  4. In the meantime in freedom of movement EU, the French farmers are blocking and in some cases attacking Spanish lorries on the France/Spain border.
  5. It must be difficult running a couple of Land Rovers on £12k a year. 😃
  6. I worked in the UK for 55 years I never had a plastic NI card, and I paid full contributions, plus graduated pension during the 1980s, that system only lasted for about 10 years
  7. When we go to out to a party with friends I always take a couple of non-alcohol beers with me. This is because i will not drink and drive, not just on responsibility grounds, but if I lost my licence at my advanced age I shudder to think what my car insurance would be. So my favoured beer is 1664 Zero, over the holiday period while in the UK I tasted the Guinness Zero and it was very good. As for French food there is good and bad, but I now don't believe the old saying that France is the gourmet Capital of the world, It might have been years ago, but others have caught up and even surpassed it.
  8. Why pay someone else to get a CoC when you can get it easily yourself from the manufacturer. In fact some cars come complete with them , my Mercedes did and for the old runaround VW I applied to VW for one and got it very quickly. There is a guy on social media who specialises in registering UK cars in france, should anybody need his expertise, message me and I will point you in his direction. I might add that I have no commercial interest with him or his business. I'm just a very satisfied customer.
  9. That's easy for you to say.
  10. We have never been questioned in 20 years. Maybe you do look like a Colombian drug smuggler. French can stay in the UK for 180 days
  11. Sorry to say I'm a bit confused, if you want to be in France for a year or more and find a property why don't you just take up residency.

    I downloaded your photo and altered the brightness plus lowered the contrast and on my PC it looked fine , but when I tried to upload it to this site it was as dark as you original. So maybe it's the software on Complete France.
  13. British soldiers were bombed shot and constantly attacked by Irish patriots who are now lauded, as you say how times change, a lot of it depends on your perceptions. Personally I have less fear of the Israelis than I do of Hamas.
  14. We have two right hand drive French registered cars, as you say nothing on the CG.
  15. A couple of years ago on a social media site there was a discussion about the TV show "Hello Hello". I said it was wonderful because all nationalities were idiots, the Germans, the British, the French and the Italians. I got banned for 3 days for hate speech. 😀
