  1. My post was not publicity. It was simply an attempt to inform the OP of the availabilty in France of the product which they wanted to find here.

    For the OP's information - just Google the name of it.

    Hey Timothy, why didn't you delete the original reference to the name of the product? Have you joined the woke brigade?

    I suggest that you apply your strict rules more to removing posts advertising whorehouses, sex games and other dubious pursuits, which appear regularly here, than to innocent attempts to help people.

    Inutile is the term which springs to mind.

     

     

  2. Farmers have traditionally constructed dams or ponds to collect surface or rain water, not to pump water up from the ground to store it.

    I can understand the objections.

    There is a similar problem in Mallorca, where excessive use of wells for irrigation caused salt water to flow into the water table, making it useless for everyone.

    During one summer the tap water was so saline it killed plants which were watered, and damaged piping and equipment.

    The sealing system for the drum of our washing machine was corroded so that water got into the gearbox and wrecked the machine.

    Now, extremely expensive desalination plants supply much of the potable water.

    There will always be extremists and wreckers joining demonstrations; I think is up to the organisers to spot them and keep them out.

    To be honest (like ET cleverly pointed out)  I knew nothing about Gary Lineker until 2 days ago. 

    I don’t really watch UK tv and I certainly do not watch football. I didn’t watch the world cup and had no idea he presented it in the UK.

    This Gary Lineker thing just intereted me. So I read around on the subject.

    Nothing to do with him…personally….just how society is falling apart at the seems with peeps like Gary running the show.

    He is not any better than the people he is complaining about IMHO.

    Im bored now 🙂

     

    You've spewed out your rubbish about Gary Lineker, so why not have a go at Fiona Bruce now - after you have figured out who she is, read around on the subject, and become an expert, of course.

  4. Whilst looking for a holiday apartment around  Roses we visited one in one of the largest, and oldest, blocks there about20 years ago. 

    There was notice board for residents in the entrance hall, affixed to which was notice advising them that it was forbidden to re-tile their apartments by laying new tiles over the old, as the building was becoming overloaded.

     

     

  5. I hope your balcony is strong enough to support a full jacuzzi, which can weigh between 1.5 and 4 tons.

    Recently a grossly overloaded balcony fell off an apartment, I believe it was in Narbonne.

    Could be quite exciting if one were in the tub 🙄

  6. After a longish spell in England, I had my Lloyds M/card blocked once because the "system" decided there was fraudulent use being made with it due to a fairly large grocery purchase in S France after driving there. Luckily we had several cards at that time and used another one.

    When I got around to calling them, my bank pointed out that on the back of the card there is a number to call to resolve such problems. They said it occasionally happens when a card is used for a largish transaction in a new, distant location after a period of not being used outside the UK.

     

  7. If you had closer to normal intelligence you would know that "correct my grammar" was the reason for my edit, not an invitation for daft comments.

    If your post was not a complaint, it certainly had every appearance of being one.

    Idiots like you, who seem to spend their time looking for things to criticise rather than being constructive, are the prime reason for the mass abandonment of this and other forums.

    Me, I've had enough.

    Goodbye to all.
