That's why the Three Valleys in France is so good because it's truly lift linked with plenty of ski in/ski out accommodation.

3V :thumbup:
Even need a bus in Val D'Isere from most of the accomodation.

Is it safe to hyjack Pavs competition thread with discussions of broads and other matters??

I have only been here 25 years, so I am not local yet but whenever I say I live in Norfolk people make assumptions, why is that bor?

Well being a Norfolkian by adoption as you are (although of not quite similar longevity) there is a certain "rural" character to many Norfolk folk.
Personally I love it.

I have just come back from a most enjoyable week in the Isle of Wight and drove through the New Forest where I grew up, past the old school and all those sorts of places. That is a beautiful part of the country - but oh so busy!!!!
Norfolk I find delightfully quiet in comparison.
The isolation of Norfolk and the fact that it takes us an hour to drive out of the county (got stuck in the traffic after the horrible accident on the A11 - 2.5 hours Mildenhall to Brandon !!)leads to a certain other wordlyness that I think is reflected in those living here.
Normal for Norfolk rules OK ??

If I remember correctly you are not from Norfolk Felthorpe.

Does that make you a broad by adoption or half a broad?
Really not sure of the correct form of address here.

I await an authorative response.

I tend to rate a ski domaine by the availability of loos at lift stations around the mountain.
:oops:

I have received some considerable ridicule over the years for some of the stuff I pack and carry on all types of holiday.

Until .....

Me too.

A few sheets down the bottom of a rucksack pocket.

I can't find anything about winter tyres being compulsary in France. They are compulsary in Germany and I'm pretty sure that an article I read was saying that they are either going to be compulsary in Luxembourg from October 2012 - this could impact anyone driving through Luxembourg to Austria for example.

Nothing appearing on a google search in french more recent than 2010 when a minister said that there were no plans to make winter tyres compulsary as they are in Germany.

Need to keep an eye on any changes. This French alcohol/breathalyser thingy will catch some people out for example.
