I wonder why you are now coming up on their radar.

I can see it OK in the first post Menthe

Sounds like they're taking a closer look at 'foreign income'. Fingers crossed the P60 will be sufficient for you Norman.

Or you could just be discerning.

Well I've just spent the last hour watching a couple of nest builders skillfully avoid the swinging DVD's to get to their beam of choice. Perhaps I need to record some Cliff Richard concerts onto them. 🤣

Sounds horrendous!!! I'm hopeful traveling Business Class will be slightly more civilised. Lori, there's a video on twitter ( X ) of a girl doing exactly what you describe, flicking her hair over the back of the seat onto the tray table of the person behind. Unfortunately the person behind her was as uncouth as she was and proceeded to chew pieces of gum which she then removed from her mouth and stuck into the hair.

That's exactly what I thought of doing, thank you. ☺️ I'm also flying out to Manchester a couple of months earlier as a practice run.

I'm much happier driving small roads rather than motorways. In fact the sat nav is set to disregard anything from a duel carriageway up. I'll quite happily take four or five days to get up to Brittany, when I have to, stopping off at small hotels en route. Sometimes I can drive for hours without seeing another car and, as others have said, this country has such amazing scenery that I just feel blessed to be able to see it. I also hate airports and have only used small regional airfields for over 20 years. This year, however, I've decided to go to Canada and take the Canadian across country from Toronto to Vancouver. That means a departure from CdeG so I'm having to gen up what to expect. That part of the trip I'm not looking forward to.

Thank you Judith. If there's one thing I've got plenty of it's old CD's ( or more correctly blank DVD's ). I've tied one to each beam & fingers crossed it'll deter them. I did see one bird do an about face but that could have been because the cat was out.

Talking of spring. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can stop birds nesting on my terrace? The problem is that I foster cats for a local charity and the terrace is part of an enclosed area where they can get some outside exercise. I'm afraid, if I allow the birds to nest they could be put off from feeding the chicks because of the cats or, heaven forbid, a cat might catch a bird. Currently I'm out every day dismantling the nests in the hope they'll go elsewhere but I'd rather stop them doing it in the first place.

or maybe they are just drought stricken. I've lost a cherry and a mulberry over the last 12 months.

Couple of weeks ago it was 30 degrees then it turned on a dime. Just had a week of wind and now forecast for a week of rain. Happy for the rain ( might get to run the pool this year ) but the grass could certainly do with a cut.

Morning Noisette, I use a mac & just done a test & it was fine. Hopefully someone else will come along soon with a PC. Can you save a copy upside down on the Asus first?

I received the same offer last week. There was a choice of gifts if I remember, one of them was a smart watch. I think the offer is genuine.

Great to here from you Judith. Glad you've been having a bit of 'me' time 🙂

Dept 71, I tried to contact you but it appears that your email address is a throwaway.

Nought to do with me. I've only just seen this myself. Off to ask some questions.

I'm wondering the same thing about my Wise account. Fortunately it's a problem for next year.

Have a look at these reviews. https://fr.trustpilot.com/review/danew.fr

Does anyone remember that video of Ivanka Trump trying to interject at the G20 into a conversation between Theresa May, Christine Lagarde, and Justin Trudeau. Lots of words but saying nothing. For some reason I've been reminded of it recently. Has anyone got a theory as to why we seem to be attracting our own Ivankas ?

In this universe 😉

Interest has certainly become " a problem" in the last couple of years. It's not the tax so much as the social charges.

Dealt with.

No, just wondering what your motives are in joining the forum. ( that goes for you too Belves )

" It " ????????
