Christine Animal Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 What was the first news WJT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 An aside really - the photograph in the Daily Mail story is taken about five minutes away from my house. The story relates to the north of the department - a good hours drive away. Nice photograph though.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Dordogne Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Looks like the bridge over the Dordogne taken from the battlements at Domme?I'm also curious about the second bad news story from here. Surely not the contradictory froth from whatnot Booth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I think I'll leave the Aston in the barn and lie low for a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJT Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 For Christine and TonyF, yes it was the Booth article I was referring to when I said the second sad/bad news story in the Dordogne in a row.http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/4/2044859/ShowPost.aspx#2044859 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keni Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 We have friends in and around that area - they pointed out a certain family who lives in Augignac - well known in London and those environs, parents to a well known lady and known in the area for having had a police raid already in the past few years.......

Gardian Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Lord above! It's like Chicago over your way.Biggest drama in these parts is when the boys from the Gendarmerie do a 'hard stop' outside the boulangerie every morning to stock up on their pains au raisins.

WJT Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 It is a far cry from what I know in our part of Dordogne as well. However, do have a few dark tales of some recent tiling bodge jobs![:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJT Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 This time it appears to be showing a photo of the correct area of Dordogne at least. Funny though how it changed from yesterday's article in the Mail from buying a €175,000 villa to the money being used to buy chateaux and land in the area!http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1259992/EastEnders-stars-brother-centre-French-police-raid-drug-gang-linked-English-Premier-League.html?ITO=1708&referrer=yahoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gluestick Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I loved this bit![quote]All of those involved were blending in with the thousands of Britons who have set up homes in one of the most unspoiled regions of Europe - one which is frequently referred to as 'Dordogneshire' [/quote]Well, it was prior to all the wrong people moving in there............[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
