Hi, Can anyone recommend someone to come out to me to see why my machine isnt working.... it is out of guarantee unfortunately. I cant get it into town so they need to be called out.
Any help welcome, thanks.
I am looking for someone/business that does pressure washing of patios, walls, and the like. Our property is filthy from winter rain and traffic pollution.
Thanks very much if you can direct me towards someone who can help us out. We are located in Adriers.
Just wondered if anyone can recommend a garden clearance service who will also dispose of the rubbish?
Have brambles / nettles as well as self-set small trees & bushes / loads of ivy as well as some old furniture and general rubbish to clear from a detached garden area.
Le directeur général de Sealar, Raoul Laurent, confirme que la compagnie Ryanair a décidé de supprimer la liaison estivale entre Poitiers et Manchester (Angleterre). Elle avait été proposée l'été dernier en remplacement de la ligne vers Édimbourg (Écosse). C'est donc la quatrième destination supprimée par Ryanair au départ de Poitiers-Biard après Gérone (Catalogne) en 2011 et Shannon (Irlande) en 2016.
Sealar CEO Raoul Laurent confirms that Ryanair has decided to cut the summer flights between Poitiers and Manchester (England). It was proposed last summer to replace the line to Edinburgh (Scotland). It is therefore the fourth destination halted by Ryanair from Poitiers-Biard, after Girona (Catalonia) in 2011 and Shannon (Ireland) in 2016.
I am still waiting for a direct flight to Atlanta-GA M.W

Can anyone recommend a good mason in the Montmorillon or surrounding areas.The corner of our garage has fallen down and we are finding it difficult to find anyone to even give us a quote.!!!
Tried to buy some lamb mince the other day in Le Clerc. It doesn't seem to exist and the chap on the butchery counter looked at me as though I had asked him to mince his own right leg - mind you with my French prnounciation!
So a plea - does it exist locally, fresh or frozen? Beef moussaka doesn't sound the same.
Some of you may have noted that there is a UK general election on December 12.
This gives ex pats in France - and elsewhere - precious little time to arrange to vote - something I assume you will all want to do as this election will be centred around Brexit with many regarding it as a de-facto second referendum. Wrong I know. There are many more important issues such as the NHS, crime, police numbers etc etc.
The Electoral Commission is recommending ex pats register to vote using a proxy vote and to NOT rely on the unreliable postal vote system. The proxy vote sees you nominate a trusted person to vote on your behalf in the UK. Or you can opt for "in person" proxy vote which involves your trusted person being sent a postal ballot and they post it back to your local polling station by UK post.
Just to remind you; last time out a massive number of people in France only received their postal votes after the polls had been and gone.
So.. get organised and don't get left in the position of being a Moaning Myrtle if the election result doesn't go "your way."
The Electoral Commission website has loads of info.
I would put the link on here but I am of a certain age and computer illiterate when it comes to the fancy stuff.

Hello all,
I need to add some insulation to a couple of stone exterior walls. As the house is quite old there is no damp proof course so I want to make sure that whatever I use for insulation will be suitable.
My plan is to have foil-covered expanded polystyrene sheet insulation in a 4x2 framework, all covered with foil-backed plasterboard, with a plastic membrane as a DPC under the frame, insulation and plasterboard
Does this sound like a sensible arrangement?
What is the best material for insulation? I presume foil-backed expanded polyurethane sheets (like the UK spec Kingspan) but I have seen other products here in France
If foil-backed is the way to go, what's it called in French as I the only stuff I can find online is the non-foil backed stuff
My self and my husband Chris moved to Bourg-Archambault on the 30th August and we love being here.
We are just finding our feet and getting settled in to our new way of life, i was chuffed to find your board and i'm sure I will find it helpful as we start to go through the process of changing things over to France.

The last few winters have been quite mild, but I wonder if we're in for a chilly one?
The reason I ask is that I saw my first migrating cranes of the year - about 500 heading towards the sunny southwest. This is a good 3-4 weeks earlier than I've seen them in my previous 5 winters.
Can anyone recommend a tiler English or French to carry out work in a bathroom,approximately 9m/sq walls and 9m/sq floor.We have the tiles onsite,possibly also a screed to lay work to be carried out in about 1 weeks time,thank you in advance.We are situated in Coulonges 86290.

My daughter asks to buy her a ferret as a pet. I don’t know too much about these pets. If there are owners of freo on this forum, then I will be glad to hear how you feed these pets, what accessories are needed and how much money a month it takes to maintain your pet?
