Thanks for that Fred.
Your first section confirmed my fears of getting bogged down in the bureaucratic nightmare that is France.
I do like your suggestions of trying the Prefecture in Montmorillon and the controle technique place. Will be on the case tout suite.
I won't try our mayor. Nice fella but more used to dealing with his beef herd than people, impossible to get an answer out of and needs prising away from the cognac bottle.
Good thought about the scrapyard near Hebras although someone told me recently it had gone. I will investigate.
I really think going the French route might be fun. It's certainly big enough to make a garden "feature", too big to bury unless you know someone with a digger and poses a good possibility as a chicken shed. The other French alternative seems to be just leaving them to sit outside and slowly compost.
Will keep you updated on progress - or not as the case might be but, like you, am waiting for others on here to pile in with their weighty knowledge.
