[Vaccination Attestation with QR Code]

Excellent, thank you very much!! All done in less than a minute or two.

[Another terrorist attack.]

At least here they shoot the b*****ds who commit these crimes!!!!!!!

[Techie problems with French N---t ?]

Maybe buy clothes etc. on aliexpress.com - much cheaper than N**t. Free or very cheap delivery mostly, although you do have to wait up to 3 weeks - but the anticipation makes up for it. You have to ask where n**t buy their stuff from.......

Worth a go perhaps. They accept French cards without problems.

Hope that helps.....................

[Selling a house in France while not allowed to enter the country from UK]

You can usually ask your notaire to take power of attorney and they will handle everything for you, whilst you are not in France.

Hope that helps...............

Sorry, using Google, so you'll have to copy/paste the link.

It seems if the value of the goods is less than 150€ it may be exempt from VAT and other fees. We received some goods from UK with a net value of 110€ sent by Royal Mail and delivered by La Poste, and so far............We have not been asked for any payments from La Poste - watch this space.

Years ago in UK I used to drive an MGBGT, glad I don't now - who knows what it may suggest :-)

[A nice poem by Jacques Prévert which is worth reading at the moment..]

Ha!, took me a minute to get your answer nomoss........I was going to reply tomorrow, but ;-)

[V. Useful Site For Various Info.]

Thanks Cajal,

Excellent site.

[Cooking Sherry]

You could try Pineau des Charentes rouge...........not expensive and available in most supermarkets.

My wife has used this for trifles before and it works well enough. Savoury dishes, don't know, sorry.

Hope that helps.

Cheers!

[Boycott Amazon for one day?]

"Also, many small businesses sell via Amazon"........ and Amazon charge them a greed tax of up to 15%, the same as Ebay and the like!! Not a level playing field anymore for smaller websites/businesses - I have had a sales website in France since 2009 and could not afford to have 15% ripped from our turnover!!

Just an opinion however, based on fact.

[any chance of a collection of Trump cartoons, svp?]

Using Google Chrome, type trump cartoons into the search bar, then "images" on the top bar. Plenty to go at that will raise a smile.

[Thank you]

Great news, thank you Hoddy!!

Good prices and a decent guarantee it would seem.

[Archant bust?]

Hi,

for œ hold down your Alt key and type 0156 on the numeric pad. We had to learn that one last year when we moved to Avenue Richard Cœur de Lion..............

[So how many of us are still out there]

Hi,

If you have a French bank account, try Transferwise.Fast, cheap and efficient.

[It is going to get hot - Be careful !]

A French friend of ours, who was a submariner, used the following technique to sleep cooler in a submarine with an internal temperature of 40° whilst moored in Africa. (This was a while ago, so no air-con on the boat)

We tried it last year - and it does work.

Dousing a towel in cold water, wringing it out and then draping it over yourself will bring your body temperature down.

With a standard fan blowing towards you, the effect is even better.
