It is indeed, plus you do need some language skills what happens when you go to the dentist or doctors, can't assume they speak English which so many do. We were at a BBQ last night (in the cold a mix of Brits and French) there were a load of Brits who all live in the same village (well known for being a little clique), they all herded together and didn't interact with the French. We were with the French and had a good laugh, while the rest all stood there po faced looking like they were going to bloody Henley Regatta (@C'est moi there were even a couple from Ewell, a bit up their own jaxy though). We'd never met these French people before but got on like a house on fire and have been invited to pop in anytime were over their way. That's what it's all about intergating. I could imagine Gerry would certainly give it a go if he were there. Couldn't imagine him wanting to stagnate with that bunch, I'd like to think he'd be down the local bar.

In the UK if Japanese knotweed is found on a property it is almost impossible to get a mortgage or insure it....sellers do all they can to destroy it ....the fear it can grow in the tiniest amount of mortar etc....
I guess for the flurries they had it further from their house. Still, it is ruining waterways and many gardens . It is a licenceable weed here and if found you must report it and have it disposed of professionally. Sadly many dobt even recognise it let alone report it.
Don’t get me wrong but…It rained.
Half a bucket of water got in through the door.
He fixed it.
If anything, he’s lucky he found out the issue before furnishing the place.
I thought you didn’t want to be confused with a certain Ms Gooder… it is starting to look
Too bad she's not Swiss, the pink prison would be just like her pink toile room in the attic: would https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wo...k-prisons-in-Switzerland-to-calm-inmates.htmlShe dreams of Venice, living off patreon stolen money and not having to lift another finger. I hope for a 6x6 cell under her majesty’s pleasure for money laundering. She would look great in a jumpsuit! Don’t worry I’m not a monster, she can have it in yellow!Or even better she can have a escape suit as modeled here View attachment 2359598

@T Rex. What do you say about YOU hosting a Tattler Convention? A 3-day affair so we can cram in all the local - outside guest menus and be your guests for the activities & visits. A fab time to be had by all.
I'd be the first to sign up 'cos I want to see close-up your energy & talents, from repairing engines & machinery (I'm from the shake/rattle school of fixing -does work sometimes 
), sailing, sewing, chefing, lingo, the list goes on. Are you & the Evil Twin 2 into 1? But most of all you have no pesky job to get in between you & your lifestyle.
Love from an envious hag.
@M&MsMom. Thanks for such an interesting Sunday morning read- so much to learn on Tattle - I bet even the Smugs in their Smugness didn't know all that. How fascinating that the journey of a non native plant can help chart the history of US landscaping and public parks through the visionaries like Olmstead.
I remember years ago visiting the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens & lighting up a ciggie to enjoy the Japanese part when my NY friend said horrified " You can't smoke here" & I was puzzled bc it was in the open. All this was pre-environmental policy & I hadn't yet seen the dangers of smoking. Seems like the Middle Ages.

Patreon day is this week, no? We made fun of the extra light lunch last year, will Maria make quiches? Marie some huge amounts of salads? Lapdog his infamous tuna peach salad 
I would be really ashamed to serve the extra light lunch again after receiving backlash over it on here. But than again, Fanny does not know what shame is.
So next week patreon video, the patreon day, the week after Maria playing on the out of tune Piano, the week after that PhiPhi's guided tour, then SJ, sitting on her throne and answering questions of her subjects. (Which was awkward according to an ex patreon, new tattler) that's another 33K for crap content.

I think he would be obliged to take a competence test. Though don't quote me on that. For French nationality application you have to attain B2. That is the basic level that French children are required to leave national education with.
Actually, it's kind of a Patreon party.Are you hosting your own Patreon Days as well @Tea with lemon ?!?
When I have local friends over for lunch of dinner, I usually make Thai, Italian, Indian, Korean, Greek, Turkish, Japanese, etc... to broaden their palettes. But when we have out of town guests, I like to showcase local/southern specialties- blackened snapper, brisket, ribs, shrimp (@billybudd will attest- there are fare fewer simpler pleasures than a low country boil!), pulled pork, and with side dishes like potato salad, homemade macaroni & cheese, collard greens, coleslaw, baked beans (NOT from a can!) and a key lime pie or banana pudding for dessert and there is always fresh seasonal fruit- our local fruit is amazing. (Heat or not, I will use the oven when we have guests staying with us for brekkie- biscuits for biscuits & gravy, cinnamon rolls, banana bread, muffins, bagels-so much better from scratch!, hashbrown casserole, etc.- my brekkies are legendary.)
The biggest thing for out-of-town guests is that they are truly interested in where you live, so it's always fun to share with them what makes it special. We take them to museums, beaches, out on one of the boats, to our favourite "hole in the floor" restaurants, the eclectic tourist attractions, fishing, kayaking, local breweries, etc.
At this point, @Tea with lemon - you are 100% better off than Fanny, as you are putting actual thought and care into what you serve your guests. Best of luck next week, and I know it will be a success!
You know, it's the child's birthday and the grandparents and a few others are coming for lunch!
Thanks for the ideas! @T Rex
Every vlog I wonder what in the hell the chatelaine’s family, friends and employees truly think of the Gay Twank. They must absolutely hate him. Even the other gays in the circle must dislike him intensely.
Yes French healthcare is better but he would be required to pay for it by having a mutuelle santé (private health insurance). Britain no longer being in the EU will have stripped his right to national healthcare in France. He'd probably be better off staying in the UK for his healthcare as he's already in the system.
Did you order a charboobie board for LL for their partitties ?
What do you expect from Ewell
They want everyone to believe they're from Epsom but really it's just a suburb of Croydon 
We've never clicked with the local brits, as you say they belong to their little cliques. Best friends to each others faces bitching about each other as soon as backs are turned. They wouldn't have anything to do with each other if they were still in UK so why put themselves through all that tit and just integrate!
Sounds like an Eisteddfod camp site (oh the memories)
Sounds exactly like some Melbourne people who come up to live in Castlemaine.What do you expect from Ewell
These types are the same the world over.
- apart from the extreme heat!Sounds like an Eisteddfod camp site (oh the memories)
The rain and flooding definitely sounds about right.
I wouldn't put it past Dan to make it look like the Yurt flooded. Clicks. Content. Money.
So funny, so true! lol we cut most of them off at the pass 5 min from walking in. This village they're all from is so pretty it's a shame as it's full of them who are so far up their arses it's untrue, even the Mairie said no more Brits. All trying to find out how long you've lived here, we've been here longer than all of them. Think our faces said it all so we joined the normal side of the garden where all the local goss was going on, rather than listening to those pratts brag.What do you expect from Ewell
On that note, I apologise for my own "click bait" post in suggesting Dan flooded his yurt. It was meant as a "click bait" joke but it fell flat.
I'll go stand in the naughty corner now. I'll take a charcuterie board and a bottle of scotch with me so I don't starve.
My first peachick hatched and it is...WHITE ...and no, its name isn't Marshmellow or Snow White but I'm open to suggestions.
