Smile Re: What are the prodecures and costs of registering a UK car/mini van in France?

re: Winter Fuel Allowance - Europe pensioners and expats.

Yes but when you get it, all at once, it is a godsend for December electric bills/wood purchase - and we have paid in over a full lifetime of work, and it is part of the pitiful pension that we get....

Re: Total nutters on the roads

I find driving in France a lot easier, enjoyable again - with less traffic, and the cameras that do exist are not every 100yards like they are in the UK. Ever driven down the A34? The only strange...

Re: OAP Discounts?

I have to take medicines every day, but I still have to pay. I have been to the CPAM office so they know I have to take them for the rest of my life. I have to pay part to the pharmacy, and then I...

Re: chimney sweeping

Do you need to have the chimney swept if you've got a woodburner? It would be difficult to introduce any kind of brush up the flue pipe inside it. Or do they get on the roof? The chimney has a top on...

Re: tax fonciere

That's a thought. Being a UK state pensioner, I obviously don't have enough income to pay tax!!! You would think if that is the case that they would have told me the number is generated if you...

Re: devis
