La Guerriere Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Up until last week huddling round the stove, now puddling in the mud (as normal for 50). Back in UK at the moment, back in France in February for the Big Adventure (the Fosse Man Cometh....)Incidentally went to our favourite restaurant for New Year's Eve, and it was half-empty ... is the recession starting to bite in Normandie as well ?

cassis Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 No, the recession hasn't harmed us. Why, only today I had a number of enquiries from gentlemen on the Ivory Coast wishing to book rooms for a month or two here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 And did they offer to pay you in full (and any excess) by cheque tout de suite, Cassis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassis Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Of course. And as they were chief accountants for a major petroleum company, and the rooms were required for a surprise honeymoon present for their friends, I had no hesitation in accepting their reservation. Unfortunately, the last time they booked, the company cheque their head office sent me was for ten times the correct amount. I really don't know what to do, so I'm awaiting their advice.

cassis Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Yes. Thankfully. Because I was caught out by a dodgy cheque from Nigeria a couple of years ago - won't make that mistake again! But the Ivory Coast should be okay, they contacted me in French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
