" ..........Big... Big mistake ..you should always teach your wife to drive ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cendrillon Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 .....wife sitting at home with them ...she cannot drive When I ask wives why they never learned I hear " My husband never wanted me to touch his car ! " ..........Big... Big mistake ..you should always teach your wife to drive ! Quite right Frederickhopefully all husband and wife couples (partners) who move to rural France (or anywhere else rural !) make sure both drive or they could find themselves in a very difficult position when the only driver is unable to drive . Living in a town / city would not pose the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patf Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Renaud - that is so funny and so apt. I 'm also enrolling husband in these courses, if I can get him away from Bridge-on-Line. The children were nearly as bad eg "has the ironing been done?" used to bring on apoplexy. As if I was a robot [:@]They had to do their own eventually. By the way where is the OP, Bugbear? Haven' t noticed his postings lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keni Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 RenaudCould you possibly let me know which month you plan to run the course ' Closing Doors, it is possible by the male species?' I believe you inimated this might take the form of a discussion with actual involvement, showing how it is done and the various aspects and consequences of leaving doors open in cold weather.Is this correct?
