Hopefully Jyothi k will be back shortly with the answer.

I think it's interchangeable. What's the French connection to Madras?

Puducherry?

If you ever take a trip from Clermont L'Hérault to Beziers in the Autumn you'll probably see them lined up outside every village shop. I have Dutch friends that still time their wine run to coincide with the season.

The first sweet onions I ever had came from Lezignan-la-cebe. It's been a while but I would suggest that they were even better than the Cevennes.

Cajal's link is right. It's mother. Vinegar starter.

Do you want to try cleaning that post up Harnser or shall I ? Edit. Done. ( Best I can do )

I don't know how you would describe "worst". Certainly there were some cases that were more difficult then others but it was never a case of 'good ghost, bad ghost'. The way it was explained to me as a child was that the world was full of echos of past lives. Like ripples on a pond. Most people swim through the ripples without noticing they exist but occasionally someone will be 'buffeted'. The bigger the ripple the stronger the turbulence and the more likely the memory of the past life would be seen. I was being simplistic when I called my father an exorcist. He's job was more to deal with the living, educating them to not be afraid of what they were experiencing. Nine times out of ten, once the fear was gone so did the 'ghosts'. They hadn't of course it was simply that the living had learnt to swim through the ripples. Occasionally there was an echo so terrible that no one in their right mind would be able to happily live alongside it. Then the only options were to either remove the object from the home or, if that was not possible, remove those who were sensitive of the event from the scene. As 99.9999% of people won't see anything in their lifetimes it's quite reasonable to sell a house because for you it was haunted.

Not a lot to say really. It wasn't exactly his day job. Normally he'd get a call when someone 'felt something'. Most times it was just an over active imagination but there were times when he had to 'ask' a presence to leave. Very occasionally it didn't work which was when he'd call in the professionals. I grew up hearing ghostly tales around the dinner table and when I reached puberty I was taken to a known haunting site to see if I had the gift. I didn't. Shortly afterwards I discovered punk and lost interest in ghosts.

Grew up around a lot of this. My father was an exorcist.

Let us know how you get on will you Laurier ?

I'm no expert but I doubt it. IMHO it would need to be something covered by your marriage contract which always becomes complicated when there are reserved heirs. In my case, as there were no children involved, it was "relatively" simple to get the cars transferred to me. I'm guessing you would have to remove the cars from the general 'estate' for inheritance rules and I'm not sure if you can do that. I think a Notaire is your best bet.

Maybe JamesSmith or KatieE might be able to help. They like to travel overseas apparently.

Well done Menthe smiling all the way to the bank 😁

I'm assuming his architect would be his first port of call.

Apparently France is awash with Bed Bugs. Took the bed apart this morning and all I can say is, if spiders eat the things I'm laughing.🕸️🕷️

I can't be of much help I'm afraid as I don't know anything about civil service pensions but if you did the same thing last year and got a different result I would be asking for explanations from the tax office.

I kinda wished I hadn't read that.😀

No NVT. Norton Villiers Triumph. I'm not surprised you haven't heard of them. They didn't last long.

Yes I have to admit, I was loyal to Honda to. Apart from an ill fated adventure with an NVT in '77.🙃
