Please be aware that unauthorised third parties are accessing PayPAL accounts. The first thing I knew was when I received half a dozen emails confirming transactions from my paypal account!! PayPal were very quick in refunding my account and said to change the password but I cannot see how this is going to stop it happeneing again. The same thing has happened to my sister in law this week. PayPal says it is an ongoing investigation But I haven't received any warnings about this??? I have now closed my PayPal account as it is obviously no longer a safe way to buy on line. 22

Was talking with a friend about my plan of moving alone to Brittany and about the cheap property to renovate and he asked why there was so much property there and why the French dont renovate it and he got me thinking.Why do they not renovate the cheap property but instead spend a lot more money building new style property in the same location?Any ideas?Ben

what price is heating oil at the moment and has it dropped in the last few months

We bought a Silver Crest electric kettke from Lidl about six months ago. Unfortunately we didn't keep the cash slip or invoice as we always do for bigger purchases. The interior base of the kettle started to rust about six weeks ago. Obviously this should not happen as it is supposed to be Inox (stainless steel) but it has. We are probably not going to get any satisfaction from Lidl as they require the till slip but be warned about this kettle (Boulliere Silver Crest 3000W) Ours cannot be the only one that has rusted. 

When driving to the shops, is only one person allowed in the car. I have been told that people have been turned away.

We have spent a long time in the last few days trying to establish whether we have the right to work under the current restrictions.  At long last we have been given official confirmation by the 'DIRECCTE Bretagne' that as an antenniste (satellite installer) we still have the right to work as long as we take care to protect our clients and ourselves from the virus. So the good news is that TV Brittany is still open for business! We will of course make sure that all precautionary measures are taken and we will phone customers on the day to ensure that they are symptom free before coming out.

Hi allWe are travelling (hopefully) to dept. 22 for the summer months, we will be there for around 6 months and our miniature schnauzer will obviously need clipping. Does anyone know of anybody who can clip this breed correctly please?

Hi everyone, I'm writing a short article on how the collapse of Flybe affects those of us living in France, especially those with a business that relies on low-cost flights. If you have a moment, I'd love to hear from anyone affected by the Flybe collapse (holiday makers, holiday-home owners too), as I know the impact will be far-reaching for those of us based on this side of the Channel. Thanks in advance for any contributions, much appreciated!

HiI'm having a very bad experience with a company called 'Luxury British Beds' or 'Foresttec'. I ordered a bed and mattress from them in early December, paid nearly 1,000 pounds, to include shipping to France, and I'm still waiting for it to arrive. I keep getting fobbed off with vague promises that never materialise. I just wondered if anyone else has dealt with this company, and whether they'd had a similar problem?JohnCotes D'Armor.

Are there any french for non speakers in the Carhaix area, I have a friend who lives here and really needs to start learning the language?  Thanks
