You can try a letter  of ' mise en demeure ' for what has not been paid Try knocking the letter in the link about a bit to fit your case..

According to this article  in the Financial Times once UK rates fall close to zero, the UK authority’s only option to provide a monetary stimulus is to pump money into the financial system. Haven't we seen the effects of that elsewhere before?

Further bad news today! See this report in the Financial Times

A study has found that 'man flu' is a myth because women whinge more when they have a cold. In a survey of 2,000 people, 85 per cent of women admitted exaggerating symptoms to gain sympathy compared to just 76 per cent of men. A third of women also admitted to feeling 'more emotional' during bouts of winter illness compared to just 12 per cent of men.

Anything over the SMIC? Seriously there are people here bleeding to death because their income in Sterling has gone down 200-400 euros a month..and you are bleating about an one time over payment of 173 euros

Have you any idea of the economic situation which makes your petty whinge look ridiiculous?

I would'n't count on more than 350 English people are no longer looking, and French people don't want furnished accommodation where there is no work

An amusing look at the fall of sterling  even if it is deliberately stereotypical

Could you show your technical prowess by making that link clickable?

Stunningly beautiful

Same here Clair. What is a 'bunny'? A technical term, or some incomprehensible dig at people who have made a different choice to yours? And whoever said that Microsoft have a policy of transparency?

And who was in power in 1991?

So you agree that 'There is no such thing as Society" and 'people must look to themselves first'? Isn't it precisely this attitude of dog eat dog that has led to the mess in the Financial Sector?

Who is Cheri? I don't recall her as being responsible for anything. New Labour have been there for 11 years, and have made the mistake of continuing Free market policies inherited from the Snatcher. The problem is now coming to light, but it is in being too 'Conservative' that they have failed to keep check on the greedy and the guilty.

Add ons: I can also recommend  the British English and French dictionaries (for spell checking) Dictionary switcher (to toggle between these if you are frequently changing languages) Download helper I also use Foxmarks  which lets me access my bookmarks from any other computer that has Firefox

The problem is the the Conservatives offer a more extreme version of the Free market philosophy that has led to the mess. The roots of the problem lie in the Thatcher years.

Just saw some photos in the paper...seems there has been some snow up in the hills. Here it is a bit miserable and grey, but nothing more.

I use both Firefox and Opera... I use several of the Firefox 'add-ons', but I appreciate the lightness and speed of the latest Opera version

Procuration: 'pouvoir qu'une personne donne à une autre d'agir en son nom' You can use it to vote, to operate a bank account, or to act on another person's behalf  in a house purchase etc. Used it to sign for my son when he bought a house.

Unfortunately it's not French: This article reports a Australian wine with a very high level of anti-oxidants..

Why go back ?

It's a good way to get into reading in French...and I read thrillers so could not be more low brow[:)]
