Being driven insane by a TV we have just bought on offer from the supermarket celebrating its 30th anniversary, can't get the sound to function at all through arial, even the sound installation menu appears very different to the layout in the manual and as ever its only in french.  Picture is fine no probs with that.  Anyone had a similar problem - are they a duff batch - or are we being really thick and missing something obvious?

What is french television all about? Saturday night is really really terrible - can anyone help explain why it is so bad??   Donald

Hi there - does anyone know if there are any cinemas in 56 that show English language films (perhaps with French subtitles)? I did hear somewhere that the cinema in Guemene shows such films once a month..but an enquiry met with a shrug. Been living here two years now and one thing I really miss is an occasional trip to the flicks!!  Cheers, Mrs M   

Dear All After the Christmas festivities, I would like a few folk to read my now finished book for editing purposes. "Tales of Camyra" is a series of stories, mostly from holidays, of happenings on our boat over the last 16 years. Also bits from Jersey life - funny/sad/frightening. Only have a few CD's so don't all rush at once ---Ha Ha!!! Jean Rhodes

We have put up our satellite dish and it is aiming at Astra 28 (I think).  We get very clear radio with with no electric fence clicks and all the extra BBC channels (music, sports extra etc).  We can't, however, find Radio 2 or Radio 4 (the FM one without the cricket and the daily service).  Radio 4 is on channel 266, Radio 5 on 273 on our box.  Does anyone know what channel we can find BBCs 2 and 4 on?
