  1. A question did you flunk geography at school? I think your marketing department should indulge in some research and establish your target market a little more in your favour.
  2. So are you saying that the illegal boat people are not claiming asylum?
  3. A lot of us had to pay in for 44 years to be entitled to a full state pension.
  4. It's very simple, if you have paid in for it you are entitled to it. It doesn't matter what your assets are. If you pay your dues why should you be penalised because maybe you didn't spend your money on foreign holidays, big screen TVs or expensive phones etc but saved your money to make your future more secure.
  5. The silence is deafening. So it looks like the idiots have won, what a shame?
  6. Well, it now looks like that everyody on the forum is being deluged with advice on the worlds airlines on how to leave the country, I wonder if it's time to say goodbye to this forum which has been a good friend and sometimes good fun. Will the publishers bother to fight the trolls?
  7. A little pat on the back for the sterling work by the moderators. Just lately the world, his brother/sister/them are joining the forum and don't seem to be active unless they are selling their services. Some of which are quite bizzare. Well done everybody
  8. In 1988 although I earned good wages well above the average, I took a gamble and got a mortgage right on the limit of my finances. Within one year the interest rate had gone from 8% to 16% my morgage payments of course increased, but not by 300% as the one quoted by the BBC. As for French mortgages, I can't say as I've never had one.
  9. So they are saying that a .25% rise in interest rates has increasded his mortgage by nearly £750 a month? I don't think so
  10. A shame you did, still you tried.
  11. It was a scam , I said it was and I proved it was. Dear oh dear. Sorry for trying to help.
  12. I received and E/Mail this morning claiming to be from Assurance Maladie, saying someone had made a connection with my account the previous evening, with the usual click here request. When I get things like this I always check the sending address, it was non-reply assurance Maladie. The body of the E/Mail had all the same graphics as the genuine site, but, me being a suspicious old git opened my browser, went to the Ameli site and logged in as normal, sure enough no messages for me. She who must be obeyed said, Oh there was a article in the The Connexion about this. Now, there is more chance of a Liverpool supporter reading the Sun newspaper as me reading the Connexion, but for once they maybe got it right. So just from me; a warning about this scam, it looked incredibly genuine. Be careful folks.

    Can someone (woolly maybe) tell me why my post on this subject has disappeared?
  14. The only person to answer is the CT centre, I suggest you visit and ask them les défaillances mineures, qui n’entraînent aucune obligation les défaillances majeures, qui entraînent une contre-visite les défaillances critiques, qui entraînent une interdiction de circuler minor failures, which do not give rise to any obligation for a return visit major failures, which lead to a return visit critical failures, which lead to a traffic ban l

    Thank you everyone for the answer, you are very kind.

    Ripage

    A question to the language experts on this forum, I was looking at my car files and I noticed on my latest CT certificate a Defaillances mineures: Ripage excessif. I looked in my French /English dictionaries and could not find the word Ripage, I looked on line and the only explanation was slippage, which maybe so, but doesn't explain what of. Any ideas you clever people. Thanks in advance.
  17. What a load of nonsense, why am I surprised, it's in the Grauniad?
  18. I will ignore your sneering comment, after all it's just a cheap shot. Get back in your barrel.
  19. For me because after 52 years of marriage I trust my wife, an ex tutor Nurse more than someone in a pharmacy.
  20. I had my 5th Co-vid jab and flue jab the same day, a couple of weeks ago. My wife just asked a local Pharmacy and they gave me and her an appointment. Hers was only flue as I have a child bride. 🥰 Normally we collect the flue jab and my wife a retired nurse does the necessary not only for me but often our friends and neighbours. We wore masks at our appointment out of respect for the Nurse.
  21. I'm not or ever have been a Liz Truss fan but, I'm appalled by the vitriolic attacks by the British Media, I think they have forced her into very unwise decisions, and the support from some of the members of her own party who obviously believed the propaganda didn't help. I wonder who next they will continue to heap their hate on in a bid to increase their ever decreasing circulation figures.
  22. " Sorry I don't do social media" Ah OK, so what is this forum then? Personally, I never said I'm an Instagram fan, in fact I don't use it at all, so I'm sorry I can't enlighten you, but why would I? I was just asking for facts instead of maybe's or might be.
  23. "Allegedly, perhaps not" any chance of real facts?
