Re: Flying US to France and then driving to UK with dogs - help!

Re: I FEEL THAT I'M IN A PANIC!

Hi and welcome. Read and re-read your post and the good replies from some wise heads. It's about what you don't share that was touched on in one post. Why do you want to sell up and live in France?...

Re: SFR

Concerns about SFR go from bad to worse. Decided to switch back to Orange, who as most know, own the line, bit like BT. Because I had a line with them previously, I am on their records. Their techie...
