No, they are just jealous of the prices, variety and quality of the stuff we have over here. You have to live over there to see what I mean.
Give a French person a glimpse of the B&Q website and they dissolve in tears.
This is why, post Brexit, if a Brit with a second home in France wants to bring it DIY materials, after the first €300 worth they get charged not only TVA (French Vat) but also a rising percentage based on the value of the stuff brought in.
When we go over we see vans and trailers full of stuff, including wood, which is half the price, I took a pergola over and its decking and a load of other decking.
Mad but there you go!

Why is stuff more eggspensive?
Why int there a wider range of products?
One would think consumerism would have escaped to france anorl, feeding the public desire to spend.

Apixaban!
Of course you'd all have been dancing around in Kilts!:D:D:D
Still at least all the matchsticklegs had somewhere to stick their skean dhus! Namely doon yer socks!;);)
Which reminds me of a very dirty joke that I may have told on the joke thread about welsh rugby players and where they stick their gum during a match. So you get your socks from Evans do you?;););)
One of the funny games we all played at a wedding, it was a mate of my ex's, was where all the ladies were blindfolded and their men were sat down and had to roll up their trews, then the girls went along the line feeling the calves until they found those belonging to their bloke.;)
None of 'em got 'em wrong and many weren't even supposed to be doing "the rudeies" with them!
Loads of laughs! and yes she did pick mine out to the shock of her parents! This was before we were even engaged.
All good sport!:):):)

Because the French do not buy and sell houses as often as we do. To do it is fecking expensive, lawyers fees and estate agents fees are ridiculous, imagine 5% for the est. agent and average 7% for the lawyer, this does include taxes.
As in the UK, as soon as peeps buy a new house they often redecorate and chuck out the old bathroom and kitchen, there is a ton of competition and the desire for something new and different. Also they do not "refresh" their houses as often as we do. So there just isn't the demand. Plus trades are one hell of a price, if you are not doing it yourself.
You CAN find stuff but you often have to travel absolutely miles to get it.
but other stuff is much cheaper. Having a pool fitted is half the price of over here, for instance. Ours, the biggest in the range (40 cubic metres) for a fibreglass tub thing, salt pool with all the electronic filter etc gizmos so it looks after itself, fitted, ready to dive into, €18k.
This also explains why we have progs like "do up a Chateau", the brits are seen as a bit bonkers for spending all that money. The Frogs tend to buy a piece of land and throw a place up on it. Much more cost effective.
But they are grateful to us for saving their heritage for them!:rolleyes::D:D:D
Land is cheaper cos they have lots of it!!!

I did quickly read in the blurb about the dosage so i can see that you are now taking half of what I am on.
Hope I don't get stuck with it for the rest of my days along with the Levetiracetam I have to take to keep my licence!
I am hoping that they will see this clot as down to Astrazenica and not some other underlying condition.
Think I ought to do a lot more exercise though. Maybe this is a wake-up call.
As for the game, what I'd like to see, in these days of feminism, is the opposite, blindfold the men, get the ladies to remove their bras and then get the men to pick their wimmins out of a line up!

Now that really would be fun!:D:D:D:D:D
(Aren't I terrible.;););))
 
Was looking for ole pic's of me castle online. Found a site called britain from above. Gottid a pic which we fink was taken just after me castle was built. Houses further down the road weren't built yet. Also found the land where mother hippo lives now, before the house was built. And found mother hippo's prefab they lived int before that. All fanks to someone taking pic's from above int plane. Kin brilliant.

One week notice to fix or else... Won't work during walrus times. Companies are finding it difficult to operate. Getting parts needed may be difficult. It would go against yer for unreasonable timescales. Cases are backlogged in the courts anorl.

Thinking about it you may be right, change that to one month and that shouldn't be unreasonable.
Most small track cases don't even end up in chambers, they get dealt with at the central court office in...wherever it is.
But to be set against this is the amount of time she has been asking for help and not getting it. That has got to be months now hasn't it? Weeks at least.
And the one week's notice to fix is putting it strongly. One weeks notice to at least start doing something is a different matter.
