Stephanie: "I bought this a long time ago. I bought this when I was about probably 29 or 30. Just about the time I was moving here."
Philip is 25 years old.

It's not the age difference per se which bothers me, but the lack of worldliness, knowledge, maturity. I'm exhausted after watching Snorty for an entire episode. He's a child barely out of short pants. If Snorty calls Fanny darling one more time I think I'm going to puke.

PhiPhi is a know-nothing who thinks he knows it all!

The lawyers she consulted on chasing the bad Tattle dream away was a one time thing, I figure. She won't go easily down that route again.

It is very sad for those people who sent them in good faith.
Oh there has to be Karma for her and that god awful "boyfriend" !
Who on earth do they think will visit their 'shop' or do you think the target market will be the visiting patrons.

What he does need is to no longer be registered as a Dutch citizen because he has left that country for more than the law says he needs to live there to be still that. I guess he still cashes in on his Dutch unemployment cheques though. I have been trying to get proof on that for ages, but surprise surprise, it's all wrapped up in smoke and mirrors. So he can "work" there (doing that musical garbage), doesn't "live" there, but still "officially" lives there? Hmmm...

It would be one thing to sell CL brand souvenir type things online, but sending china! Can you imagine the packaging to ship? And knowing how careless they are, the damaged goods they’ll be refunding.
Double the waste: it was send to them as expensively paid and extendedly wrapped gifts and will be poorly packaged send back to the new "lucky" owner. They think it's a genius plan, obviously. I do too: it will get them busted.

Why does this not surprise me AT ALL?!? Their connection is pretty obvious to any casual viewer, but more than that (don't slaughter me!) he's still pretty good looking. Obviously looks aren't everything, and since he's still involved with Fanny I'd say it's pretty obvious he's probably a shite human being but... still hot.

Interesting... Minnie is looking into getting legal aid as we speak... (Although, I shouldn't be saying this.)

OK this is what I don't understand about the heating at the shit'o. The french government give massive tax breaks and subsidies (and the money lenders are obliged to give you cheap loans) for "economic" home renovations and improvements - insulation, solar panels, water softeners AND HEATING. There are probably other things but these are the ones we have claimed for over the years. The French government is keen to upgrade fioul (heating oil) boilers and any heating that uses pollution making energies) I saw that fanny has a fioul reservoir in one of her outbuildings, is that not in use? That said, if the under floor heating is not performing I'm pretty sure that there are subsidies of some sort to be had to change the system. Maybe not as generous as what would be given for changing to pompe á chaleur (the heat pump that @Sparrowsfart mentions which is the gouvernements current heating chou-chou). If her m.i.a. accountant or phantom heating technician were worth their salt both of them can advise her on this. That's how we found out.

Fanny's Summer Garden Party for Patron's is just a giant Reverse Garage Sale.
Not only is Fanny selling patron's her own old junk, Fanny is selling patron's their own old junk back to them.
It's Evil Genius because the grannies are falling for it.

And from today's comments....(all visitors come by car to the HMN, but most fly to France and then rent a car to travel to the shiteau - but don't bother Fanny with such details).

How practical it is going to be for guests to buy whole tea sets and get them home? They have to be driving otherwise this will not be selling well. I would rather go for small single items.

That’s true for anyone flying from abroad, but we also have quite a few guests who come by car.

Hear hear. The rumor I just heard is that the guy with the glasses really liked Snorts and made a pass at him. Wedding day, my ass. Smoke and mirrors rule that place as they never did before.

I believe the answer is yes. They need to register the business officially. That costs money. They will be required to undertake courses in book keeping and record keeping to prove that they are capable of running a business. They will be required to have a "declared" financial sum behind them. It is all bloody complicated and expensive opening any business in France. And they will shut you down if you do not comply to the regulations. Happened to 2 people in our village. Both separate enterprises, nothing to do with each other just coincidence 2 in the same village. One was a brocante, spent a fortune changing his garage space into a shop it looked really nice but he had never registered so they shut down. Other other was a pizzeria opened up in a former restaurant had absolutely no idea how to run a business, was not registered and was closed down. That said, chambre d'hôtes, b&b's, gates don't fall into that category at all unless you have more than a certain number of bedrooms. Bizarre, anyone can rent out a room!
