Re: Dual nationality

I'm not sure I care too much for Bev's perceptions of who might be offended by what. It would seem somewhat unpredictable, and possibly guided by dyspepsia. I did look for the 'delete my profile'...

Re: Dual nationality

Re: French mortgages

We secured a mortgage whilst non-resident, and only with UK sourced income. With Caisse D'Epargne, via a broker (who has since retired, so I can't help there!).

You tell someone their question is dumb, and claim no offence? What do you do when you want to offend people? :confused: :thumbdown:

Re: Types of cream in supermarkets

Yep. I (well, we) drink nothing else - perfectly true. And all the British people I know have a stock of it, and not just for us.

Re: Types of cream in supermarkets
