Not very happy! (Can't swear on here burt I'd like to!)
Have spent most of yessdi artenoon and this day from 11 0'clock until now trying to fix our visa applications. They have a new and pointless system where you are supposed to fill in a form each on the France-visas. gouve.fr site which, once done tells you you cannot click on "send" util you have an appointment, which you supposed to make through TLScontactcentre.
We had problems with these idiots last year, couldn't do it online so rang up and eventually got one.
This time we have been trying all this time. you now have to fill in yet more application forms with exactly the same info on them, and we cannot cklick on the final box, "visa type". We want long stay 3 to 6 month visas, you can obviously only have one a year but you are allowed to apply for them up to 3 months before you go, which is what we are trying to do. But the box just comes up with a psurious warning saying you can't.
The bods on the end of the phone say "Oh it is a computer glitch, clear your browser history, updat to the latest Chrome or use aniother machine".
We have done all of this so last time I spoke to someone i finally managed to get him to agree that we are allowed to apply but he can't do anything about it so he'll talk to someone and get back to us.
that was 45 minutes ago and of course the office is now closed.
How to waste one's blasted time!
Oh and yep it's raining here on and off, mostly on.
