    Vivere - anyone been?

    Just had a look at that menu. It seems very lovely but not sure that it’s the right venue for the type of customers that he’s hoping to attract.

    Cuffy/Skill - Stafford customer service thread - Stafford retailers reports.

    I had to get rid of my BMW convertible after having it for 6 years. After becoming a granny I knew that at some point I’d have to buy a sensible car and once the BMW needed money spending on it then I knew I had to change. Anyway, bought a new car on impulse and have been astounded at how much...

    Cuffy/Skill - Stafford customer service thread - Stafford retailers reports.

    I think that I’ve remembered the name. It was Motorhouse 2000. We bought several cars over the years and very happy with the price and service. But since another company took over the site, it’s to be avoided according to all the reviews.

    Cuffy/Skill - Stafford customer service thread - Stafford retailers reports.

    @The Hooperman We have previously bought several cars over the years from that site when it was called something different (I forget) But having recently been on the market for a new car my husband said to avoid this company. They have dreadful reviews for overpriced cars and an appalling...

    What are we watching on TV?

    We’ve also watched Code of Silence. Binged watched the whole series. Really enjoyed it, sometimes really uncomfortable viewing and yet compelling.

    Day 4 we weren’t leaving until the evening so nearly another full day to fill. So, a visit to the market then back up to The Cite for a long leisurely lunch with gorgeous French wine.

    We’d met some new friends who were on our flight, clicked immediately, a met up with them a few times fot sightseeing and dinner. On day 3 we all took a train to Toulouse, only a 10 min walk to the station and a 40 min train drive. None of us has been before so off we went.

    The weather wasn’t looking so great on day 2 in Carcassonne so we hired a car and headed to Narbonne Plage (coast) where the sun was shining and only 40 mins drive away. We actually took a little longer because instead of taking the quick way we decided to drive through the countryside and the...

    Holidays 2025.

    Not really a holiday, more a mini break away of 4 nights. After reading the book “Labyrinth“ many years ago which was set in Carcassonne, I’d always wanted to visit, so after mentioning this in conversation we decided, on a whim to go. Oh my goodness, what a fabulous place. Our hotel was...

    Mundane facts about your day: Part Deux.

    I really enjoyed reading @proactive posts, he was one of the forum members that I was quite fond of, although I hadn’t ever met him in real life. Does anyone know why he stopped posting?

    @Lucy I‘d love to see photos but I’m not on Facebook. Vietnam (and Cambodia) are on our “to do” list. Did you do your own thing or go on a tour? We have friends who did it their own way, sorted out their own internal transport, buses trains etc. We aren’t very good at roughing it so have been...

    Tech breakdown in Spain.

    Yes, we we’re ok with what we had bought and it stayed fresh. We offered some of our food to another family who had no cash and would have taken us up on the offer if the situation had continued for longer. No point us having food defrosting and others going hungry. Most supermarkets closed...

    Tech breakdown in Spain.

    I didn’t really know where to post this so I’ve just started a new thread based on my experience this week. We were staying in our place in Spain, and on Monday we’d been there for a week and we’d got our family joining us the next day. We went out and did a big shop in anticipation of their...
