You can safely tell Mrs P that she will have to vie with me for last spot, I was always bringing up the rear as I am not a speed jockey either.

She will be absolutely fine and us more sedate skiers can stick together and have just as much fun.

Sorry about not staying on topic :mrgreen:

Oldboarder.

Ally is busy having a good time skiing in Tignes but she has her finger on the pulse just the same and is in contact with the preferred hotel. I expect more will be posted next week when she is back.

Hi Jadavi

Send AllyG a PM and she will add you to the list of interested parties.

We had a great time this year on our trip to Tignes and all the J2Skiers were very friendly. I am sure you will enjoy the 2014 trip.

We had several singles who were happy to share and Ally is a master at organising everyone and making sure we get good accommodation.

Once we have a definite booking, as people pay their deposits, they are invited to join a private Facebook page and this allows us all to get to know each other a bit before we go away. This worked very well for Tignes and it felt like meeting old friends when we eventually met up.

I hope you will join us and look forward to meeting you next year.

And then you woke up in the shower :lol:

Yes but I don't recommend camping in Norfolk at this time of year, no snow either :(

"It's their country, not a British colony. They are entitled to have their own laws which some tourists might find silly, it doesn't matter as they are still laws and anyone not obeying can be prosecuted for it. I cannot see anything wrong with this picture. Acting like grown ups forst of all means accepting the law for what it is - the law. Abd British is not the only nation skiing in France, I don't think it will be wise if each single nationality is allowed to be responsible for their own safety they way they see fit to their preferences. The host country is the one that decides."

Before anyone accuses me of being Frenchist, I am most definitely not and love that country and the people, food, way of life etc.

BUT

The French, like many other nations in the EU, seem to pick and choose which EU laws they will abide by and which they won't. I think this ruling will eventually turn out to be illegal under EU law, not that I think that will necessarily make any difference.

V S-B is completely correct, the French are entitled to make their own laws and visitors to their country are expected to abide by them, but that doesn't automatically make them fair or sensible! And those of us who think we are being over regulated are entitled to express our opinions.

My OH wanted to buy yellow trousers this year but I pointed out that with his black jacket he would look like a wasp, so he opted for bright green (I am not sure that is an improvement) :shock: but we can see him for miles :D

Why bother with black at all, and mix the green and yellow?

Because he is not colour blind!!! :lol:

I bet you wear grey :wink:

Hmmm. considering the number of pics of me from the J2Ski holiday to Tignes and my profile pic showing my GREEN jacket, I am surprised at you TonyH :shock: .

I rest my case re the colour blindness -) :lol:
