I think we've found a refugee from another so called forum the anti Brexit England hating one. Dear oh dear? ??

"A decent football club" Have you watched them lately? ?

I would think that most people on this forum are well aware of where to buy their wine. I buy mine in he supermarkets, not everybody choice but I've found some very reasonably priced wines that I like, and that is all that counts. Buying because of the label is I think a mugs game and possibly those that do have more money than sense.

A lot of them do it to try to prove that they are more French than other immigrants. Some do it to convince themselves that they have made the right choice in emigrating to France, because they now couldn't afford to go back to the UK, so they are stuck. Some do it just because they miserable old gits.

Idun, it's great to hear from you, I hope things work out better for you in the future, fondest regards

We filled our car up today with diesel at a local supermarket. 1.88 a litre. We then drove to Le Mans and noticed that there; Diesel was 1.99.9 a litre at a couple of garages. I would imagine the Gendarmes will be out in force next week, looking for "Red" diesel in peoples vehicle tanks. ?

No sirens ever in our village or anywhere as far as we know in the Loir et Cher. Indeed, we were in Vendome our nearest big town today, no sirens. So it looks like if it all goes pear-shaped, in our little corner of the world we will be quiet safe. Phew!!! That's a relief. ? ?

Is anybody aware of any organisations in France starting to collect clothing etc for Ukrainian refugees.

LeHaut, if you in the french tax system then you're "visible". We don't get or are eligible for a French pension but submit French tax returns. We got the money last month. It is of course income based.

From what I can work out, anybody who doesn't agree with the Scots mafia who run that "organisation" gets banned. I'm not a member but do lurk occasionally to see how the other half thinks, It's quiet amusing and slightly scary.?

No problem, when the Scots get independence Nicola will sort it all out. ? ?

Thank you.

Woolyone as you seemed to delete two other posts made today, could you please now delete mine as it no longer makes sense.

Obvious reason really, there's plenty of work in the UK for young French people. Plus retired UK people can sell their UK homes, buy cheaply in France and live nicely on the equity. French sell up they could just about afford a garage or garden shed in the UK. ? ?

Is this the same as the fluorescent tube trick? When you take a fluorescent tube bulb under transmission power lines it lights up because the current running through them induces an alternating magnetic field around them as they conduct electricity. The higher the voltage, the greater the magnetic field density and the brighter the fluorescent tube will glow.

Try this route ATA carnet for the EU

Pro/anti vaxx is an emotive subject, in my house if you're not vaccinated you can't come in, simple.

Take care of that baby and all of the family ALBF. Stay safe my friend.

I was winding up ALBF. Don't get excited as you won't need it soon anyway. ? ? Be aware though that although Lloyds website offers tests, when I went into my local one who the web site says did them, they said no we don't, so I had to go further afield

Not true, we paid nothing to get our 24 hr tests in the UK in Lloyds pharmacy for our return to France. We also got free test kits in the UK.

Good to see you back Norman, Happy New Year

Hooker????

Care to elaborate on that opinion? By stating some facts on the matter.

Got our boosters today in Vendome. Moderna, made in Spain.
