Landes, if you have something to tell us, better to give a few words than a link, which most of us will almost certainly not read/view.

You are possibly right. Though I'm not at all sure why anyone would want to read about anyone knocking any country! I don't! Presumably you mean that as this is an English (language) forum then it's o.k. to knock the U.K.!
No, that is not what I mean. And I expect that you already knew that.

ALBF 'Why do peeps living in France beat the UK down ?'
Well you have asked a question! As you have pointed out, Britain is a great country, has its problems of course but essentially it nurtured everyone here so it can't be bad! So what is the reason ? My belief is that those who continually knock Britain are, in the main, embittered 'remainers'.
Oh! I read of all sorts of reasons as to why Britain is poor at this or that but it is always Britain, rarely France or any other country. No doubt feelings here will be 'Brexit' again' he can't leave it alone! The fact is there has to be a real reason for the continued criticism of the U.K. They don't like it but I feel that is the reason.
Rule Britannia!
If you want to hear about people knocking France, you probably have to read French (language) forums.

Jimbo123 (1 post) what are you trying to say/ask ?
Spit it out my friend.
Tell this forum what is on your chest.
If Jimbo123 is trying to challenge your online behaviour, he should perhaps first erase his own. Eugh!!!!

They are crying out for peeps to become pompiers in France.
If my house is burning down or my family are trapped in a car after an accident, I really don't care who is the nationality of the person saving my house/or my family.
It is a French attitude problem.
If your son speaks fluent French then he should be able to become a pompier. IMHO.
With you on that, they will take foreigners as voluntary pompiers, but to become a professional you must be French. But both are equally able to rescue you or your family ALBF.

He's been a volontaire for several years but to be a full time pompier he needs French nationality, it's a Brexit problem.
Indeed, full time professional pompiers in France are fonctionaires, and to be a fonctionaire you have to have French nationality.

Betise, are you half French and and half English ?
Just asking. ?
Depends which half of me you are asking ?

Ken, your comments are both patronising and insulting. Before judging others, take a look at yourself.
I am French, yet I can criticize France if I wish, I am British, yet can also criticize the UK, I am not blind to the faults of either country.

Well that's an unusual view on naturalisation Ken.
Nowadays Ukraine is Ukraine, "the Ukraine" is not much liked by Ukrainians (google it).
DaveLister, who did you used to be here?

Then again you are not British. I think Britain has shown the way. Britain is at the forefront of resisting the invasion of the Ukraine. Instead oaf knocking it you should be supporting it, but of course you are not British.
Ken, unless he has renounced his British nationality then he most certainly is. Dual nationality, ever heard of it?
I do applaud your tenacity, but if you are going to continue this thread much longer, you should perhaps refer to Ukraine by its preferred moniker, and drop the article that predates its independence from the Soviet Union.

Mint, I just tried a test message to you, and it seems to have worked.
What you need to do is hover (don't click) your mouse over the name of a user . A box will open, and at the bottom right is a "message" button, click on that. The rest is simples.

Did they lock you out Mint?

We as a family would be more than happy to put a family up. But there does not seem to be at the moment anyway we can offer our help.

First step, are you French resident? If not, and you are UK resident, you will need to apply for a long stay visa.

There is no debate about this, NATO needs to go into Ukraine. Well certainly in the air.
What, I'd say there is no debate, all out war is to be avoided at all costs.

But the news (all of the reports) no matter where you heard or saw it, were based on the study in the link that Norman posted.
Were you once very overweight Ken, is that why you are so zealous now in your posts on being fat?
And, before you ask, no I'm not fat. ?

Yes, but... exercise is excellent for the heart, and regular exercise helps to build muscle and reduce fat. I don't know the figures for the rest of the world, but I doubt they are far behind the 95%.

You may break even, but do you really want to sleep in the bed in your own house that has been slept in (and many other things done in YOUR bed) by so many other people ?
But, but, but, do you never stay in hotels ALBF?

Most Brits who can't afford to return to the UK will get cremated in France. They can't afford a place in a French cemetry either that is for sure. ? It will cost more than their house. Even with a few gîtes.
Oi ALBF, Lori is not a Brit, and I'll be cremated because I've no truck with religion, and care not a hoot about my earthly remains. As I said, they can twang me put of a tree for all I care. Once I'm gone I'm gone.

I will die here, be cremated here, and would love to have my ashes twanged from a tree. The last one is the least likely.

Yes, the world has changed, folk have left us, moved on or even passed away. Not so many left in France these days. We have lost something.
Oh my, I have just spent a happy half hour revisiting posts there, so many familiar names, Coops, Claire, 5-element, Bugsy, even me (before login problems force me to reinvent myself).

The new patron of Orpea is on BFMTV at the moment, seldom have I seen anyone so slimy.

I was watching the news tonight about the flooding, and thought of you in your barrel Norman. Glad to hear that you're OK.
