France Uselesscom


It had to happen, France Telecom. Step forward you have risen above EDF in inefficiency.

Anyone would think this chap was in charge.


French utilities................ Couldn't care less monopolies.

How often do you have a coronary when dealing with them - answer - everytime.

How many times do you need to make an appointment to get a phone line - 3

How many hours do you waste getting the appointment - 9

How satisfied do you feel - 0

Would you do it again if you could avoid it - 0

3900 give it a try - your path to frustration, raised blood pressure and a very quick way to waste your time.

Try it, you may even speak to someone before they cut you off.

Given a choice I would rather not but we do this so you don't have to.

Snowing in the Alps

at least it is near me, 850metres in altitude and we are blessed by the isotherm.

I think I will do an early tour in the morning and grab first tracks.

Bear spotted in the mountains


Or was it a bare?
It is a real shame that this wasn't a boarder
or bare der - OK that's enough Miles.

Ooh the indignity. Bet his crotch was around the knees when he was the right way up. Serves him right for going for the rubbish, too baggy look.

Sympathitically, never happened to me - yet.

Le Chantier


Or in English the building site, but I reckon it sounds better in French.

Le Chantier is a small bistro bar in Mont Saxonnex in the Haute Savoie at the foot of the pistes on the route du front de niege. Recently taken over by the Periers from the south of France, it has good wholesome food, quick efficient service and a warm welcome.

We are fortunate that Le Chantier has been taken over by Max and his wife.

Good luck and thanks to you both.

Give it a try - you know it makes sense.

Le Chantier, route du front de neige, 74130, Mont Saxonnex
