Hi Kathy,

Well fall off my chair, so you haven't!! We've got 5 shops under an hour away, so I was sure there would be one at Brest.

FC, the snakey springy thing fits into the bracket, so you can open the window as much or as little as the springy thing allows, or not use it at all.

Hi Kathy,

Sorry - a bit late in on this one :oops:

They seem to have a good selection in Leroy Merlin should you need any more.

We do Thursday to Thursday in July and August, flexible for the other months.

We sell it on the basis of much reduced ferry costs. Give it a try!

Firstly, many thanks hobbo for bringing this to everyone's attention. Our property was listed as well but I was not too concerned until I found out that there had been a demand for money for enquiries. Late last night I sent the following email and this morning received a response. Our property has ...

Only teasing chef, I think I would be just as annoyed with the theft of the wood though.

We also have a double kids bike trailer thingy. It seems to have less strength than an old Maclaren buggy and I breathe a sigh of relief when Dad, always worn out, returns with 'les enfants'

On closer inspection I realised that the person concerned had taken the big, heavy logs I use for winter fuel and burnt them on the barbecue at some ridiculously high temperature causing the whole structure to crack and fall apart. It's a shame that you don't take a damage deposit :wink: But I am w...

Hi all,

Technically Big Sis (aka Cheeky Girl) has about 15000 posts under her belt already but due to an administrative cock-up she lost a few thousand posts to cyber space.

But this one is too close to call.

Me too - but why does he always insist on saying

"Hello Mister Robert, how are you today?"

No, that is not my proper name, & what do you care! Also I have a useless listing with you already.

Grrrr :twisted:

I actually do both, depending on time available, length of grass etc etc. Before the start of the season, the sheep get first go of the field, followed by the tractor if the grass is still long. In season I usually cut the main field using the tractor with grass topper. This gives a pretty good fini...
