Sunshine Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Can any one recommend a good web site for the northern Languedoc region and give me an idea of what sort of income is required to live comfortably (house and car paid for)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esperaza Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 You could try Peter's pages: www.the-languedoc-page.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard-R Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Income is a hard thing to pin down. Bill wise we spend more here in France than we did in the U.K. If you have only just retired i would double what you spent when working. You will be home more, so use more power, water ect plus you may drive more to explore your new home and use more petrol. Food wise we spend about the same. Think what amount you would need to live on in the U.K. and you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpprh Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 But the good news is that as long as you drink and smoke, it works out cheaper !Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have tried Turkish wine you will understand why we have to have at least one trip back each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reegards John[/quote]Dear JohnYou are either a Turkish gentleman who has not treated your neighbours and/or work colleagues well or you have never lived here or understood your hosts.I have not found living here a problem nor have my international friends. Indeed few wish to leave. My husband and I feel previliged to be here. Yes there are many problems, it's a hard life, but this is true all over the world.When our time comes to leave, we will be very sad.Katrina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0BRIAN WOODHEADI,m here in franceddMMyyyy0Falseen-USI,m here in franceTrue Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Confused of france here,but where are you now,and if like many of our friends you are still in turkey why do you want to come to france after only two years in turkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to think tacking on a smiley or a 'cheers' makes anything he says OK. Generally, i'm a short post fan, but his usually last no more than 2 lines, each containing a put down of an individual, a group of people, or, as in this case, a whole nation of people, and nothing else, really.tresco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our aim for the last 15 years has been to settle and retire in France.I enjoyed India but I would not want to retire there either. Please do not criticise a country without having lived there, your friends are still here!. Iyi Aksamlar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0BRIAN WOODHEADI,m here in franceddMMyyyy0Falseen-USI,m here in franceTrue Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Oh someone is PMing again,katrina read the posts dim wit,I have lived in turkey,not to bright you posted, well at least I can read a post better than you did,and it took you how long 15 years to retire to france and still you need to ask how much you will need to live on,you make me laughdid not take me that long to get to france and I do not need to retire to do it,sold your house in india did you well you might get a dog kennel for the same money here in france.

Tresco Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Oh now Outcast, that reply is just mean and nasty.Earlier in the thread you were asking Katrina whereabouts in Turkey she lived. Now, you are slagging her off for her original question. If anyone has a 'right' to be uncertain about living costs, it's someone who has been abroad, for whatever reason, for, what was it, 10 or 15 years.Is there anyone apart from Nick Griffin that you don't have a problem with?????

Tresco Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Outcast, I'm a big believer in keeping the lines of communication open, but save your kisses for someone else please. Why did you turn on Katrina like that?. As far as I can make out, all was well until she failed to pick up on albis bait to slag off an entire nation of people.tresco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpprh Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 HmmmmAnd I'm upset with someone, too. CAST OUT could be a new nickname ?I've been outside UK in different countries for the last 15 years. Nothing wrong with that ?I live in an isolated part of Languedoc and rarely meet English speakers.So why did I need to be attacked by CAST OUT ?Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJT Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 It appears to me (just a lurker on the side here with two cents ) Katrina mistook Outcast with Albi in her sharp reply in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 It's not the first time you have hit the wrong key albi. If you didn't mean to give offense you could edit your previous post. Hope this helps.What sort of a crazy keyboard are you using there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
