Out of interest, what sort of broadband speed do you get in UK and France?
Well , we use mobile broadband here and in france .

BT broadband in our village is diabolical , hence the above , we can stream live sport to the tv here and live uk radio in france .
The only downside is it's limit of 64gb a month .
It's rare imo for a hameau like ours to get 4g , normally struggle to get a signal .

Thought you'd be on fibre in the UK, didn't know here its why I asked.
We get between 6.7 and 8.1 Mbps , can stream Amazon fire stick and Netflix on the smart TV in the middle room, while kids are on computers / phones/ tablet, still got sky in the sitting room. 2 k up the road and they take hours to download a movie! I think we're lucky.
That's good , so why is your phone signal shite ?

How much does livebox cost ? or whatever you use .

Including unlimited landline calls to the EU and mobiles in France, unlimited broadband and hire of the livebox Including TVA
39,99 a month. Just had a new livebox as old one faulty, technician was out in less than 48 hours , no extra charge as their problem.
Orange do a holiday line , where you ring up and they turn it on and off. Only pay when you have it on.

Not sure you have enough horse power on that wrapper ?. Tidy looking set up with some modern classics. I am ever so slightly jealous! ?


We bought the 7930 new in 09. We did a lot of trio contracting on top of most of our own work. When I came here my son was carrying on in the uk, he had a more genuine need for it than I did here so I left it with him (along with a lot of the other cereal kit). He (sadly to me but hopefully not to himself) has called it a day farming in his own right in the UK and got a job, which means all that kit is now following me over. I feel proud of how he has looked after stuff, the 7930 is like it just came out the showroom. I need to deep subsoil each year so it will have a job but mainly it is surplus. It was bought shortly before my dad died and it’s the last thing I remember him having anything to do with, so a bit of a sentimental attachment :rolleyes:

Bought JD Combine and Krone Baler from Rickards at La Souterraine, no problems there. Have always used AgriMez, get on great with them. Others say they can't.Find Souchauds are very average.
agree souchauds are average for back up, however very handy and we'll priced for steel and the like though, bought all the steel to build my new parlour from them, even costing my own time fabricating was still 6k cheaper than a kit Frame.
