Quote from: Trainfish on Today at 12:49:20 AMAbsolutely loved it mate. Unfortunately I've seen them make a lot of poor, bordering on amateurish, decisions and I feel this is yet another. The bottom line is that the work I and others do still needs to be done and they will have to use contractors to do it which will cost them more but what do I know eh?

Sorry to hear this bad news John.

Any chance of setting up your own business and taking your customers with you ?

For what it may be worth, given that I'm ordering from the UK, in the past year I have successfully bought from the following suppliers in France:
- Trains 160 (erm... frequently  )
- Architecture & Passion
- Cités Miniatures
- Bois Modélisme
- Riches Heures
- TJ Modèles, although at the time that was through his eBay site not his website
- Decapod for acrylic paints

That is something I always do and recommend that everybody else does the same. Even if you can't get a better quote, ring the current insurance company and tell them it is too much - most call handlers are authorised to offer a small reduction.

That's still safer than when PSG lose at home in the Champions League, or when the CGT kick off against the CRS. 

How about during the Olympics?

Many thanks all for the advice.

I have been to Paris quite a few times over the years, so I am not worried about security. 

They're checking out the two-up, not the bowls 

Looks like a great view George.  Just the thought I was having. Enjoy the evening

Quote from: Bealman on Today at 08:21:27 AMI have no problem at all with Anzac Day, in fact exactly the opposite, but I do have a problem with the blow-ins who you never normally see here who use the day as an excuse to get intoxicated and generally act like 

And that's just the boys in blue!

Did they get to play an end?
