Re: Pay as you go sim card

Re: Pay as you go sim card

Re: Pay as you go sim card

Re: Health advice

Many thanks for the link. It wasn't good news. It appears I've been living below the limit the whole time I have been in France. I'll just have to keep my head down and hope I'm not noticed.

Re: Easter - planned strike actions
