Hi We have my 93 year old father staying with us at the moment and - being a creature of habit - Friday is declared "Fish and chip" day.

Hi do any of you happen to know if the shop in Moncontour is open in the afternoons? Today for example? I don't want to have to download something off their website just to find out they may or maynot be open. Why can"t they just put the opening times on their home page! Perhaps it should have been called the basket case instead?

Good morning. I live near Corlay Region 22 and would love to find someone that is near me within a 5 mile radius that I could drive to to purchase the above. I know you can get them in the supermarkets and they are good but would still like to see the chickens running around and to buy them that way. Is there anyone out there that could help me. Many thanks in anticipation.

Would you like to know how to make proper Indian food?  Or do you know already, and would like to share your skills? I am hoping to start a Curry Club whereby those who want to learn how to cook Indian cuisine can, and those wanting to share their knowledge can.  Also, if you wish to obtain ‘Authentic’ Indian spices for your dishes, I can help.  The first few demonstrations will be given at our cottage just outside Silfiac, dept 56. Contact me at galatians47@hotmail.com or ring 06.73.99.95.01

If anyone had taken the trouble to phone this excellent Chinese Restaurant in Pontivy (02 97 28 98 88) they would have found out that they are trading as normal. Just goes to show what a lot of mutterings can do. TG someone had the sense to give them a call ! The food is great for the money. I have been there loads of times with many friends and EVERYONE thought it was great ! They are open every day and evening. If in doubt .... well, just phone !!! Le Lys Imperial ...
