And you get this piece of paper to say that you have a parcel at the Post Office, even though you were in at the time but the postie can't be bothered to get out of her car (she posts our mail into our box by mounting the pavement and staying in her car) and you queue for 30 mins to get to the front, only to be told that the parcel has gone back to the "expediteur" because 5 days has expired... Great, life in France, isn't it? PS Wooly - how can you post 100 (one hundred!) books? PPS Where is your brother?
