A family was taken in by a local church. Because of issues with living in SA. The only ones I've had any interaction with are 3 men in their 20-30s. They seem to be well sketchy and obnoxious. Women won't date them. They've been here for 15years. Percy was a better representative of the country. Until this. It's disappointing. There's good and bad in every group. But this is just sketchy.

Looks like the institute are aware of negative vibes. Latest YouTube comment from them "Hi everyone, thank you for your wonderful comments. We did discuss privately with each stude, explaining clearly that we wanted to film them. This was really appealing to them and where only to happy to talk about themselves, all saying if l don't get the scholarship then it's ok at least we created awarnes. It is hart rewnching to have to make one desision, and that l thank my amazing team. There where 8 candidate, but one didn't want to be filmed, we absolutely respect that, that is why you didn't see the last person. We will try and find separate funding for them if possible, but keeping it private. I did promise them all that l will do my best to have all 8, at our institution, don't know how but l will find a way" Hmm..nice try - so those coming for an interview don't want to appear stroppy by saying no I won't be filmed. Good for the candidate who said no thanks to that. Hopefully that one gets the money from SJ's
I refused to watch it, it's so reprehensible. I hear it was heartbreaking and a bit like The Hunger Games. Badly done Stephanee, badly done!
I think the scholarship is a scam and he is a grifter of sorts.
I do not know enough about the institute to be able to judge.
That's so sad.De mortuis nihil nisi bene.
Rich Hurcombe – the most positive man
On April 1st 2020 we lost a great man. Rich and I met through geocaching and throughout our time together we lived live to its fullest despite many hospital visits and treatments. Rich never let hi…thehurks.co.uk
Yah creepy pig cover your @##. Disgusting. How about you take less salary to have all these students. There's a way for you.
There is a difference between asking people whether they mind their interview being filmed or asking whether they mind it being shown on YT. We don't know whether they mentioned to them that were going to show it on a public platform. The interviewees may well have been happy being filmed just for the institute but may well not be happy for it to be seen on YT!
The principal might look a bit more professional if he learnt to spell correctly! How unprofessional that reply looks!
Totally agree with you. There are people who desperately need food, medicines, etc.; this is purely to benefit SJ and the institute. The scholarship to a fashion institute could not be more irrelevant in SA. I lived in nearby Swaziland years ago and also know SA.

I haven't watched this video and not sure I will...
After what I've read here about it, it looks like a modern slaves fair...or a new Hunger Games version - for everybody to enjoy it online
Re. Lalande. I suppose Stephanie knows that a swimming pool at the chateau will increase their two local property taxes (taxe foncière and taxe d'habitation).
Speaking of which, I'd curious to know how these local taxes are calculated in their case.
Two of the co-owners are not resident at Lalande. So they should pay their taxe d'habitation for their second (holidays) home. (Maison secondaire).
Stephanie should be exempted from the taxe d'habitation (New regulation in France) since Lalande is her main house.
@arthur could give us some informations in this matter, maybe
Dear FrenchGirl123
Your wish is my command > so :
New construction, garage, swimming pool... :: what effect on local taxes?
Verified 11 mai 2020 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
A new construction (garage, swimming pool, ...) increases rental value used to calculate the property tax and the housing tax. Your local taxes will be higher.
The construction must be fixed to the ground in perpetuity.. It is then impossible to move it without demolishing it.
You must file a return no later than 90 days after completion of the work:

Do you have to pay the housing tax for your second home?
Verified 18 mai 2020 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
The owner of a second home must pay the applicable housing tax. This even though he also pays the tax on his main residence.
In the majority of cases, a second home does not allow to benefit from the discounts or discounts existing main residence..
Some municipalities apply increase from the housing tax to second homes.

Thanks for the new thread.
I've watched Lalande's latest video.
It was so...boring ! ( Well I'm not interested in gardening so 20 minutes of seeds and pots was a bit too much for my taste).
I can't believe that Stephanie doesn't know how to say compost in french after 16 years living in France with a big garden ! It was written on the bag anyway (terreau) but I'm not sure she noticed it ! And who goes to a nursery for bags of compost without taking a trolley at the entrance of the shop ??
The rest of the video was really dull and badly filmed/edited. It looked like a patchwork of their daily life snippets quickly filmed while flouncing from rooms to rooms.
Frankly, if I had watched this video at the beginning of CD channel, I would have never followed her vlogs !
I cant believe she doesnt own a drone and asked poor Dan to use his to film some new drone shots for a new intro! Dan has only just started his channel and is investing in it by buying a drone and learning how to use it, his editing skills are amazing and hes only been doing it for a few months, she has been doing it for 2yrs and is still filming on her phone!!Thanks for the new thread.

More info about housing tax :
Housing tax

Thanks !
I was reading the YT comments for Stephanie's latest vlog where she says to Dan (who's the father of two young kids and is younger than her...) : "Mummy will love me more" (if she does some gardening)...
Wow....wow...
People saying to her that "Mummy will be proud of her daughter" in several comments...or something like "you're a good girl" etc etc.
Wake up people ! She's a 45 year-old woman !!
Disturbing.

So true! And tragically, after Rich having passed away in April 2020, she lost her dad to covid only 4 weeks later. I just can't imagine....!
According to one of the live chats (cant remember which one) MPK said he had a date this week but was free from Sunday to be collected and spend some time at la Lande. Surely she could have waited and got him to use his, he could then justify the travel as work.
They really do have a very odd relationship.
Don't give them any ideas, they spread covid enough as it is!
I actually cannot bare him! His voice and whining Helllowwww! SleazyAny comments on Billy’s latest video? There is something strange going on between Ryan and Billy.... Ryan is always flirting with him, if I was Gwen I would not want him around so much.... people seem to love him, I find his voice and, basically all of him, extremely annoying!!! And what is this habit of always complimenting each other? Is that a British custom? SJ & Co. also do it all time. Why? What is the point?
I'm truly surprised anyone finds anything interesting In them. Boring voice and boring content!
How much was it selling for?
Anyone as lovely lake too.Can someone please post the link for Ryan’s uncle’s property, I am looking to buy one. His is not too big and does not look too rundown!
Quel surprise! More con merchants, associated with Loll ! 5.000 was probably just a way of giving some dosh to IJ

I wasnt sure if it was 5,000 for the 3 year course. Or 5.000 per year. I'm guessing Loll doesn't know either!i thoughtssb said it would be 5k a year for 3 years
so she’s using advent monies to cover it
she’s no intention of letting the ...
name that present / post box
in one ...
ask natti / Marie they security check the post for valuables or chocolate
As I suggested.. siphoning off 5.000 for mummy.. faux fashion guru probably got a cut!
Drones seem to be something the male youtubers are particularly into. Carlo from the Positano channel likened flying his drone to driving a fast car and getting a rush of adrenaline. SJ doesn't need a drone when literally every man associated with a chateau has one and would love to fly it around her house. She could use a better camera, but definitely doesn't need her own drone just to film an intro.
I do not know what new logo you are referring to.....What do you think of the new logo for Lalande
[/QUOTE]
The man who made the logo is also still looking for property in France. Twas joke.
