Are French members welcome here ?
Posted: Tue Sep 21, 2021 8:54 pm
Hello everyone ! I was wondering if you would accept that a French person joins the forum ... Of course, I am a Francophile ! 
But that doesn't mean that I "only" like the French ... I have lots of British friends here and in the UK, but only Brits who really love France and the French ...
"Biloute" means "my friend" in northern dialect (Ch'ti mi) because I was born in the North.
I am 72 years old and have lived in the countryside, in a very small village, since I retired. Previously, I was an electronics engineer, then I created my multi-service building business.
I have always been and have remained a building and DIY enthusiast: I spend my retirement improving my home and advising my friends to improve theirs.
I would be delighted to help the British who have chosen to live in France for all questions of DIY, culture, language, traditions. But, make no mistake: I will never tell you "what rules you must obey", but "how I would do if I had to do it". As you can see, I am a maverick: what matters to me is common sense and efficiency!
Finally, be indulgent: English is not my mother tongue ...
If you've been patient enough to read me this far, please say "welcome" or "go away".
