The New French Forum

Plain & simple carottes rapées & taboulé orientale hits the spot for me :good:

Can you actually buy what we know as coleslaw in France L-G or are you speaking of Céleri Rémoulade?

I like it but would not make the comparison.

I have some of the taboulé en boîte in my dry stores in the UK but find it a poor substitute for the ready made cheap as...

Don't forget lads, they still need to be sharpened regularly! A sharp chain causes much less wear & tear on your guide bar and drive sprocket. It also helps if you turn the guide bar upside down each time you sharpen the chain, to even out the wear.

Someone I knew went there a week ago, they still havn't found their way out yet so yes, its back to normal :lol: :lol:

At first glance, it appears to be a service for retailers, not general public. And it mentions choice of final mile handlers. That bit could be interesting. I have deliveries initially sent from all the different big names but often it is a small unmarked local bloke that is the last link. Sadly he is usually never given the complete address or...

Troon's posh. They say 'personal massager.'

I've had it 12 months without any problem Simonflys. Apple App Store ratings are 4/5
But had immense problems with a subscription to a French mag with different company (not the product) so personal experience colours opinion. So far very happy with the RT digital version.

If you have an ALD condition your doctor should be able to give you a prescription.

I get 10 per week for 3 months.

Alternatively there are some easy ones to make with or without a sewing machine, have a look on You Tube or I can PM you a link if you wish.

We have two sewing machines here. They haven't seen the light of day for years. I...

Being in a position of having to do most of my shopping online I have noticed an increasing trend within the Ebay sellers. Sheer greed. Latest example is wanting to buy a little bulb for the instrument panel on my van. UK seller has what I want at £2.50 but the greedy pig wants £9.95 to send it to France. It is about the size of a chick pea! I...

To all you sandal wearers, is the preference for sandals because they are more lightweight than shoes/boots? And, fashion question, with or without socks? If it's with socks, surely that's more likely to lead to wet socks and thus wet feet and blisters, not to mention the discomfort?

Have already answered the second part but for the first part,...

My wife’s bycicle

I used to use an automatic sniper set for three seconds. When they changed the deal from free to paid for I dumped it and went back to manual bidding. Not much point sniping for a bag of cable ties or an impact socket. :?

You are right about the conversion charge as I have just had to send my normal monthly donation via paypal ie £10.30 to Battersea Cats via french debit card which cost me 12.?? euros can't remember the exact amount and my £10 donation to the Sally Army cost 11,99 euros. C'est la vie although they would have received £15 each if I could have still...

Sent Amazon an email today and they refunded my money within thirty minutes of sending and replied (below). I would have preferred to have the parcel.

Suite à votre e-mail, je suis désolée d'apprendre que vous n’avez pas reçu votre commande 408-7030292-8953924. Il est très important que vous receviez les articles que vous avez commandés. C'est...

That's great news. Upon taking the mower engine to bits I need to order a few more parts. Why do I always do this when the field needs cutting................. :cry: :cry:

If it's a Briggs and Scrappem motor I got some service parts from Briggsbits in the UK - they seem on the ball and stocked all I needed.

Here you go

Low stock when the price increases (the preferred/planned postion) sees immediate pump price increase.

:) Large stock levels when prices increase can also be an opportunity to make a little extra profit.

Yes. I messed it up. :oops:

But make sure your ticker is up to it!

And keep your ticket safe! 😄

Without the junk mail to deliver they will be playing jeux de societé 1m apart for 2 of the 3 working days per week.

Pay them quickly.

Our heating installer arrived this morning with the final invoice. I’ll pay him his cheque when he comes tomorrow afternoon. He said he can now only work on breakdowns but can no longer install new systems. We were lucky the work was in its final stages when the lockdown started.

The fuel that electronic petrole heaters run on is the same as C1 grade paraffin in the UK. Some friends of ours who had a Zibro heater returned to the UK and took it with them. They buy the C1 paraffin for it in the UK.
It officially called Premium Paraffin / Premium Kerosene (BS 2869 Class C1)
If you buy a Zibro heater in the UK, or from Amazon...

There will be!

'Cos the postman always rings twice. :)

Hi Toovey,
Sorry, didn't see your reply earlier. I know other people have had problems getting a response from Matt, for one of whom I asked Matt why he hadn't responded and he said that he was so busy at the moment that he just found it hard to get back to people! Not a good business model, but there it is.
His next delivery date is the 18th...

I don't eat marmalade it's too sweet for me. I just make it. Our French CdH guests demolish it!

I don't like whisky in the marmalade. The whisky spoils the marmalade and the marmalade wrecks the whisky....

What a difference a day makes! :oops:

We bought one of these recently from Amazon fr. The extra large size cost €25.88 delivered. It could have been fractionally cheaper from Amazon co uk but...

Anyway, it arrived today and was exactly what our pastry chef wanted. Whilst throwing the packaging away I saw the word China printed on the box. Just out of...
