I am not saying its the pits I just don't see the point. Given that greenacres is full of expats houses for sale in that neck of the woods a lot of people seem to agree with me.

Enjoy your fish and chips. ;)

Got it wrong mate I'm selling for health reasons, still live here and will till I die,
never eat fish and chips.
Its confit de canard for me, along with the Jambon crue, pate and Toulouse sausages all my own make.
That's one of the joys of living in Rural France and completely integrating with the community.

I lived in the LOT for 25 years and always found it a good place to be, not the pits as a certain person here is always posting.
If you need any personal advise just contact me.
I also have a property for sale in the lot which is very dog friendly.

Advertise it in the classifieds section;)

Folk with kids tend to interact more around the community, something to do with kids having to be educated by law "meh"

France is a lovely place once you get your head round it's quirks, personally I have been here long enough and now England seems weird.

It's no sadder than filling you car full of cheap wine and cheese and driving back to England, I wasn't aware that there is some moral code expats should use whilst residing in a foreign country. I buy most of my stuff with the internet and it comes from all over the place it is sad when all folk have time to do is criticise other people this place is starting to be like one of the other expat forums which is really meh....

Not the same. Doing your weekly food shop in Ashford as opposed to carrefour when you living in Eymet or wherever is sad. Plain sad.

Furthermore, what about food miles. Stupid people are burning this planet.

They are entitled to do it but it is just as sad moaning about them on the internet. Most of the fruit and veg you buy comes from else where the Spanish certainly saw to that.

We but all of our fruit and veg at a local market, French produce at nearly half the price to the grand surfaces and never anything out of season, only our own stored from our potager.
you are more stupid than you put over if you think I would be interested in UK deliveries or drive two hours to see those who cant live without their UK fix. get real feller.

Hey you guys, we don't want this thread to turn into another fist-fight, do we? We're supposed to be helping the OP get over her cold feet, not discuss every one's shopping habits, bad or otherwise.

First of all it makes me mad being an environmentalist. Secondly, we buy our Fruit and veg from the cooperative. Lastly, the origin of fruit and veg sold in French supermarkets is displayed. Most of which is France.

The point I am trying to make with the Tescos food vans is that moving to an expat area of France means that you will be seen by the locals in the same light as these numpties. I personally could not do that as I would feel embarrassed and would never feel at home. Feeling at home when moving to France is very important to survival.

I seem to remember it cropped up on another thread how to block a poster so you don't see their posts, can somebody remind me how you do that please?

Otherwise I'll end up posting some of the things that I keep typing and then deleting, and I'll regret it.

Go to this page HERE I think it is the one you are looking for. Or you can go to the users profile page and you click on User List's and the Ignore feature is found there.
