ferdinand Posted September 14, 2018 Share #82 Posted September 14, 2018 Ok, so here is an update on dinner on the Saturday. Confirmed are: Andy and Ann Barton Carl and Anne Bretteville Ted Ernhill John Cartwright John Görten David and Lynn Gibbins Pete Farnsworth Tom and Eileen Lane Gerd and Magda Moyson Simon Leech Tony and Bernadette Niev Steve Unsworth Lars Valk Stefan Seider David Deruyver Charles and Elizabeth Schmidt I also assume that Christoph and Veronique will also be coming! I don’t think I’ve missed anyone, so that’s 25 for dinner so far. Christoph will need to confirm numbers with the restaurant soon, so if anyone else wants to have dinner, please post here. I am also hoping that Christoph and Veronique have been able to find somewhere to meet at lunchtime. I will send him a PM now to confirm. Many thanks! Andy, put me also to this list, thanks 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted September 14, 2018 Share #83 Posted September 14, 2018 I can't remember seeing it outside the UK. They’re missing a trick, you can certainly buy Fisherman’s Friends (from Fleetwood) in France. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StS Posted September 14, 2018 Share #84 Posted September 14, 2018 I bought Fisherman's Friends at Changchun airport in Northern China. Fishies sell over here with a slogan, which translates to "If they're too strong, you're too weak". Stefan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted September 17, 2018 Share #99 Posted September 17, 2018 For those driving, remember folks, the national speed limit on single carriageway roads out of towns, has reduced from 90 KPH to 80 KPH. Some departments are regarding this as a revenue source, fining motorists. Also the northbound A26 from Reims to the Channel Ports, always has at least one manned speed trap on it in daylight hours and usually two at week-ends.

There was a map upgrade the other week from TomTom that seemed to be largely for the speed limit changes. I always tend to stick to the 130/110 autoroute limit, but that's as much to do with the cost of fuel as anything else. With the current exchange rate it looks as if diesel in France is around the same price as in the UK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
