At 9.30am today the vehicle finally arrived with all our goods. The 3 men worked non-stop until 5.00pm. The only breakages were the glass dining table (half inch thick smoked glass, 6 feet long) and scratches on our piano lid. Hopefully the insurance should cover that.
At 7.30am we were surprised by a loud scraping noise outside. Apparently a car had skidded on the icy road, and scraped along our wall. The driver duly stopped and gave all her insurance details. An hour later she came back again with the claim form from her insurance company, and completed it in our presence, with diagrams, and gave us a copy. How differently the French deal with these things, compared with the Brits.
After 9 years living in France, near Poitiers in the heart of the countryside, we've moved back to England. We are in Margate, within half a mile of the sea, in a small development of new houses...........David Sefton

I hate to say "I told you so" but if you had let me have the piano it would still be in pristine condition...!
