Every day whilst skiing out there I say to my wife at least a dozen times; " another reason why I don't like France"

Glad you're sorted Ian

For the record, the camera on the Samsung does not take images anywhere near as good as the iphone 5. From experience.

Would you accept a non qualified person to fit a boiler or do dodgy electrics in your home? Look at what just happened in Lake District, exactly why countries have laws to protect consumer and the person who has invested in getting correct credentials. Responding back with list of exceptions to various laws and what/when/exactly they should apply to, this is promotion of chaos. Western society is civilized because of laws, guy could not follow them, society therefore expects punishment.

I think this is following a previous thread...when (and is) a ski host an instructor?....Many on this forum have their views....French instructors and French people tend to agree with this (French) law the other 69000 tend to disagree. When the French follow all the EU laws set out...I think it has been shown they are the least likely nation to heed EU legislation unless it is to their advantage then perhaps I may listen...till then I'm holidaying in Italy, Austria,Switzerland and anywhere other than France that has snow....And curiously I like the French!! -)
