  1. Hi there,

    You can only board at Grand Air from 4eme. As places are at a premimum I dont think they would look too kindly at giving up a place to someone for six months in the section. I have hosted students from abroad for the school before, I think nowadays you have to find your own host family. Maybe you should just find a normal college near Calais that has boarding facilities, if you wish to improve her French. There are some companies who organise these type of exchanges? I do think though its the best way for children to improve languages, the French do it all the time. Often french children at Grand Air would go abroad for six months to improve their English.

    Another downside to sending her to an international section is that she will naturally stick to the English speakers, which defeats the object.

  2. Hi

    Its possible over the coming months OH may loose his job through economic reasons. Anyone know the uptodate Statutory Redundancy pay here in France? Is there a minimum and maximum? We know he will be entitled to 80% of his salary for two years unemployment benefit, but what is the lump sum payout?

  3. Not true, I have a Tesco Credit Card registered to my address here in France, my statements are also sent here. I often shop at Tesco online and have it delivered to my sons at University over there or to frineds or family ready for us to pick up when we are visiting. Maybe you mean the Tesco Clubcard.??

  5. Hello,

    Anyone else having problems with claims to gold mastercard? I had a ski accident beginning of March and cannot fault their assistance, but since I have made a claim for cancellation of a holiday with their assurance at the end of March and have still not received any reimboursement. Today they have told me they have big processing delays and havent even looked at my claim yet!!!!

  6. I am travelling to East Midlands very soon from Nantes with Ryanair. I have always used the same suitcase for hand luggage for many years without a problem. However, I did notice last summer at Leeds they were very strict checking each suitcase fit easily within their cages, you had two chances to slip it in. that time I had checked in luggage but they still insisted i put my handbag in the slot. My suitcase is fine apart from the depth, 23cm including the wheels that jut out slightly. Anyone passed through East Midlands with Ryanair recently, are they checking all suitcases??
