Re: Taking dogs to UK for visit

You need to buy tickets for dogs at the same time as your own - mit is on the next page online. £20 each - each way. So not cheap.

Thanks gb and dmu. Mine(s) of information as always.

Taking dogs to UK for visit

We are taking our two dogs to the UK for a week. Never done it before.
Going by Eurotunnel and it says they need travel documents. Can anyone tell us what it is they need?

Re: Road to a Grecian turn?

The ECB is trying to emphasise that to members. Of course, IF they are still sovereign, whether they choose to implement Lex Monetae is a sovereign matter. But they cannot, I would think, set it to...

I agree. In fact, I would think just about any rational person would agree.
But whoever said the EU was rational?

And that is the polite bit!

Actually they did another paper a year or so ago saying the Euro was failing Europe, and was doomed. I will try to look it out.

Re: Hello there, newbies looking to move to France

TP is right. Commuting is VERY stressful. I did it for one week a month (which is much easier) for about five years. I loved the Dordogne, but travel to the UK is a bit more from there, which is one...
