As you know we have not long moved to France, got the left hand drive etc., Yesterday going into the shopping centre a young lady reversed out into the side of the car, not only did she admit her mistake but took us for coffee and explained the French claims system and helped us fill out the forms, we then took them to our insurance office where the young lady then phoned and arranged for the repair any taxi's that might be required plus a loan car, the repair will be done on monday, bloody hell it almost made having a prang a pleasure.

That all sounds about right except for the repair being done on Monday mate Not a bleeding chance! It will take them at least three months just to shuffle the papers about here so don't hold your breath

Sorry to hear about the prang all the same. Hope nobody was hurt.

What was wrong with the side of the road like everybody else in France?

Hiya madmonk!

See you made the move then... As you have left a space in Northampton, I am going to take it up after Christmas!

Hope you are enjoying things in the land of lovely cheese and wine!
