Good morning all.
After the long, and (thanks to all on here), ultimately successful saga of my can't-get-it-up EAS system, I thought that I should report the crowning glory.
Yesterday I took the P38 for its Contrôle Technique (= MOT) and it passed, with no immediate requirements, just 2 or 3 longer-term recommendations. I have quite a trek to the nearest station that covers the LPG aspect. Do you have to do this in the UK ? Our test here is every 2 years, UK is now every year, I think? At this particular station, the tester who is also the proprietor, is happy for me to stay with him while he chats non-stop about what he is doing and what the results mean at every stage. However, he repeated the "pollution test" about 6 times before he could persuade it to conform ! What a nice chap he is. When he started this bit everything on his screen was showing up in red and I was mentally rehearsing my questions here on what I should do next.
Still on the subject of LPG I have a sticker on my windscreen that permits me to go into city centres including Paris at any time and completely avoid the draconian restrictions. Not just a congestion charge such as London has but a complete ban on some days and at certain hours. Visitors to France need to know that without a sticker you can't drive into Paris at all. The good news is that UK residents can apply for one of these stickers. Strange that LPG cars aren't permitted through the French-owned Channel Tunnel but get special concessions for city centres !
For anyone planning to come and live in France, I am happy to advise on getting tested (and the car as well if you like !).

Don't joke about it ! With a hip that wouldn't bend, getting in and out of the little yellow car was impossible for several months and climbing into the P38 and chucking the crutches over the seats was b****y difficult. Getting out, you just swivel and slide. Too much information ? Is there a medical forum here ?I've still got my crutches for emergencies

Over here if you drive it in on LPG they test the emissions on LPG and that's that. No-one checks the LPG setup that I can see.
Yes, odd it isn't allowed in the tunnel. I guess they think it is more explosive?

OK who nicked my name plate ? Even my "Member" is missing !
Obviously somebody who took offence at a dodgy translation of my Nom de Plum - Pression de Gonflage. That's almost Epsom Green by the way, which as everyone knows is the only really correct colour...for anything. And I've just discovered the fontsizetool.
I shall just turn off the lights for 30 seconds and give the guilty party time to replace the stolen name plate.

Obviously it didn't take 30 seconds. I just clicked on Post Reply and someone wisely reinstated me. Now, am I permitted to add anything such as my military and political decorations under my name ? I note that several members have pithy observations or wordage appended.
Always assuming that anyone is still talking to me.

1. Nobody told me that there was cricket on tonight, although being of a squeamish disposition, I'm not sure I want to watch our current collection of flannelled fools.
2. Is that something to do with an Opry house ?
3.Is Ian Wright a subscriber to this superior intellectual forum.
4. Wot about be decorations ?
Now I've watched it I wish it was a game of cricket, f**king rubbish. One pass forward ten passes back. Thank god our lass bought me a bottle of red wine to sup.
PS red wine is good for the heart , hospital told me so
So much for the England football team
