Steve c. Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 RonI have made a website for just that, you can go there anytime type in any sum up to 9,999 it will convert to French, Spanish, German, and I added English as there are some people that will need that as well, the best thing is to go to the website its easy to do any problem let me know.The link is: www.euro-cheque.com The foreign cheque writerI know I shouldn't blow my own trumpet, otherwise I will get told off by the moderators, but as I'm not sell anything to you, I'm sure they will let me off with a light whipping (if I'm lucky) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I see your insurance has gone up then Marc, it was 102 euros last year. http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/803329/ShowPost.aspxThat link to the tool that writes out french numbers is a good one http://www.leconjugueur.com/frnombre.php Save it on your computer and perhaps you won't need to ask the same question in 2008 [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 CatThe leconjugueur website is brilliant. It's not the numbers I need, they're relatively simple. But, the conjugation of verbs.........truly awesome!Can't thank you enough, Cat. Will definitely be the teacher's chouchou now (there I go again, using a French word when an English one will do; re other thread on French words)[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I could learn more & yes if I sat down I would have worked it out. The reason for this web site is to be helped & to help others. I have just returned home & found a pile of mail & took the easy option. Guilty as charged but do not need others to take cheap shots when all I want to do is to get a cheque in the post. Sorry if I offended & if people have little else to do except look at what others have asked in the past & pick holes - I will give this a miss in future!!Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Ahem, I was actually searching for the link to the number conversion software (which I remembered had been already been posted on the forum in response to a similar request). Your other post came up as part of that search.It was an attempt to help you avoid the same problem in the future [blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc62 Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 [quote user="sweet 17"]CatYou gave the required information. If people cannot say thank you nicely, then it's their problem. You just carry on being the helpful person you are and, as they say, let the devil take the hindmost![/quote] Hi ThereIf you take a look you will clearly see my reply to thank the person who repied with the answer to my question. It is after I had said "thank you nicely" that the cheap shots begun. Yes I saw & read it in jest but the final comment "How do you function?", this was the straw that gave the hump as there was no need for the comment & it has nothing to do with the writer. As I am sure you are aware, a question mark is placed when a reply is required (question being asked), if the reply given is not to the liking - do not ask.Yes I found these pages very usefull & I have spent hours on them being helped, helping others & having good banter. However, some people do take things to the extreeme & appear to have little else to do than pick holes. That is the reason for the hump & my reply.

Just Katie Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hi Marc,I indeed asked how you functioned. This WAS NOT a cheapshot. I often wonder this of people who have links to France and cannot speak a word of French. It must be very difficult for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc62 Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hello KatieI like yourself must be getting very bored with this1, Yes we have a lovely holiday home in the Vendee where we spend approx 50 nights per year2, Yes my French could be a lot better but I try very hard & refuse to speak English or even read from an English menu3, Yes I have a French Bank Account4, Yes I took the easy option after returning home from holiday & finding that I had to get a cheque in the post immediatly. Is asking a crime?5, Who do you think you are trying to judge people who work hard & try there best. Why do you think I cannot speak French? Whose level of French should I speak to?Why do you assume it must be very difficult for me & what has it got to do with you anyway? I have not picked or looked for this debate, all I have done is to ask a question & then thank the person who supplied the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 [quote user="marc62"] all I have done is to ask a question & then thank the person who supplied the answer [/quote]And, all I have done is just asked a question as to how you function with links to France and such limited French. There was no way I was judging you in anyway. It is the way forums pan out. There was no rudeness to you, or malice.Jeepers.....................[blink]Anyway marc, have your rant if it makes you feel good. And, to make you feel better I will even let you have the last word.Merci (that means thank you) [geek] [6] [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
