Really don't see the point of taking any grub over to France apart from milk for a cuppa if you arrive late or early, going into a French supermarket is a joy to behold, an absolutely unbelievable choice of everything and on a similar if not cheaper scale than the UK.

Had check engine come on in Italy this year, couldn't get anyone to have a look at it ducato 2.3 for a week. So decided to flog up the mountains for about 10 mile in low gear , bingo light cleared no trouble since and have done 2000 miles, think it was because I'm a steady away driver 55-60 mph...

Use the cheapest I can find, but do look for equivalent insurance, been with AIB for a few years but this year premium went up by £140 shopped around which is a pain I know, but got it for just a £40 increase on previous year, so in reality I got paid £100 per hour for my time, do it with...

Bought that for £20 and used it on tablet for 3 months around Europe this year, pretty good I thought

Been touring Europe for the past 3 month sadly home on Monday, but noticed lpg is a lot more popular in the EU than UK lots of queues forming at the lpg pumps in various countries, something I have never seen in the UK,

Just called AIB and asked them to send me proof of no claims in the 4 years I have been with them, sent it to me straight away no problems

I left comfort 4 years ago after being with them for 3 years, I then changed to AIB but comfort did forward me a letter stating I had been with them for 3 years with no claims, when I got the price off AIB they said that the 3 years no claims from comfort did not make any difference to the price...

On way to Poland paid €1.79 in Holland & €1.69 in Germany, I am currently on a free trial of the Tomtom Go app think it's £20 for the year if I end buying it what I really like about it is it you shows you the fuel prices on route, so you can plan a cheap fuel stop not far off a motorway, so far...

Talked to many French people apparently they all do it, "what's good for the goose is good for the gander" ! The simple fact that the nice French toll booths operator allows you to "get away with it" most of the time says a lot about the system.

Really, don't think breaking into a van is quite the same is it !! I think the 3m height for a class 3 is to identify commercial/ HGV vehicles etc, my vehicle is classed as a camping car in French law the same as a car the clues in the name, all I am doing when pressing the button is bringing...

Our autotrail is 3.1m high on frence toll roads We are class 3 as over 3m We press the help button every time and say to the nice French worker "mistake class 2 camping car" 2 out of 3 times we getaway with it and they change the fee to class 2, been doing it for years

Been flashed loads of times in France, but never had a ticket, as we are a high vehicle we are flashed thinking we are a HGV which have a lower speed limit than cars or vehicles under 3500 kg , if you look at a French speed camera there are two cameras one is set to a height for cars the other...

I have been told it could affect any insurance payout if you have a tyre blowout with van only tyres in a motorhome, as they are designed for vans not motorhomes re the stronger side walls for camper tyres as described above, not worth the risk in my opinion.

Seen the micro fibre dog bag at the NEC, very expensive though, wife handy with sowing machine, so 2 large micro fibre towels from b&m stitched together into sack like shape, bit of pull cord around the top for said dogs neck to go through, place wet/muddy mutt in for around 30 minutes, comes...
