Come on Kawa, I’ve only been away for 12 years! I’ve even got one of the VIP blue mouse gin palace flags from Haydn… I’m back to get the 2021 edition for my kayak :cool:

Well somebody could have at least mentioned me… ;)

Wow, beautiful shots! Thanks. :)

OK folks, just to update, I will now be (hopefully) staying in Nice and commuting to Drap. The company director has assured me that they all live in Nice and get the Sunbus 6 in the morning which apparently goes from Nice to Drap. If anyone knows a family there who might want a lovely, friendly...

Which pear cider?

Very believable - looks like he has quite an amazing and well looked after boat from pictures etc. Majorly jealous :D

I thought this thread was going to be about Lenny Henry. Badum-tish. Sigh.

Kevlar??? Why?

Don't forget the Veiculo Longo sign that all dangerous oversized trailers need! The amount of completely wacky loading setups i've seen on the French motorways with one of those signs on the back is numerous! :D

OK guys, thanks for the input :) I seem to have struck a nerve that I didn't even see coming. When I say 'manual work', I mean with regards to working on engines etc. Complicated mechanical stuff. I can't do it - full stop. As for cleaning and refuelling, I did that all the time with my own...

As I mentioned in the original post, I could ask them directly but I know there are people who are in the industry on here so I wanted to just get a bit of background info before I approached companies with a set of more specific questions...

Definitely something to consider, but boats are something that I'm really enthusiastic about, I could talk about them for hours but I don't get the same thing from cars, really. It's not a life career, just the year abroad - I'd rather spend it doing something that I enjoy than just any...
