Re: The Big Strike 5th December 2019

Re: The Big Strike 5th December 2019

Glad you managed to find an acceptable solution Cyrian. Hopefully with adequate information, others will too in similar travel situations.

Re: The Big Strike 5th December 2019

I've been watching the French news closely today for new developments, and it doesn't look good.

Re: The Big Strike 5th December 2019

Re: The Big Strike 5th December 2019

And last night our central heating boiler decided to go t*ts-up, and sprung an important leak. Called our plumbing service early this morning and explained the problem. They said they would send...
