I know a few of you think I'm nuts leaving the UK to go to NZ and now putting myself here in France especially in the current World state of affairs.
Having been here since the end of October I have respect for the French and they certainly like me.
In the UK you can set yourself up in business in anything you want and that often causes chaos to many.
Here I'm trying to set myself up as self employed mechanic and I have to prove my self with my qualification's and letters of reference.
It takes time and numerous appointments but it means only genuine people out there working.
I couldn't decide to be a Plumber as I have no papers.
If the UK adopted that it would get rid of cowboys and you stand a chance of earning a decent living and not be undercut by the kerbside clowns.
Plus the food and drink here is superb.
I will keep you posted.
