TWINKLE Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Sorry Pads but I've never heard of this word. It's a French surname though if that helps. Could there be a typing error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWINKLE Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Probably a french family who live near you as in "I think you live near the Jones's"? Wasn't there a capital 'F'? Dick'll go mad[:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pads Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 You may be right Twinks ........ I was a bit cheeky yesterday i googled pradelles and emailed people willy nilly who appeared to live there and asked them if they had any pics of the village, My french must be getting better because one lady replied and sent me some and now i think I have a new email pal as she keeps writting asking me loads of questions, she seems very friendly.
