English Radio Show - Friday
Radio PAC on 101.9FM

English language weekly show at Radio Pac

Made in Corrèze
OK, so it's not St. Céré, but it is the only local English language radio broadcast nearby, that we could come up with. It happens every Friday morning at 09h.03 or, for those of you not able to get to a radio at that time/cannot get reception, you can access the radio's website and listen to archived shows on the following link (once you get there, click on an item button to listen to that broadcast):

Hosted by Brit, Julia Branch Evans, the emphasis every week is on People... particularly Brits who have made the move to France and who have suceeded and, occasionally, those who failed!

Fish and Chips
Of particular interest to many of you here in St. Céré (we know, because you tell us what you miss most about being here) is the fact that the Limousin is to get their very own Fish and Chip mobile van service. Tune into the station on Friday morning 10th October, to hear how Chris and Carol Williams plan to operate their mobile "Salt N' Vinegar" service.

So, the Dordogne have them... now the Corrèze... anybody out there want to start up one around here? Mobile Fish and Chips, that is, not a radio station. Mind you....Ed

Newcastle Falcons to play Brive
As part of the European Challenge Competition, the Newcastle
Falcons will play Brive on 16th October. The last time the two teams met, Johnny Wilkinson played a bit of a blinder and Brive were trounced. Which served them right for beating Newcastle the time before. Could be a bit of a needle match, this time as both teams will be all out for a good win. Unfortunately, it looks like Wilkinson will not be joing the Falcons on the turf a Brive stadium - he underwent surgery on a dislocated knee recently. For the latest news concerning Johnny's injury and the visiting Falcons team, visit their offial website. Click their website page image above or the link below.

Although Johnny Wilkinson will not be playing, Ben Cohen, Steve Thompson and Andy Goode will be.... for Brive!

Happy Birthday 2CV

Happy Birthday 2CV
The Cireon 2CV is 60 this month. Nicknamed the "Poubelle", France beat Hitler to it, in designing the first "People's Car". Trouble was, Hitler invaded France so Citreon hid the plans and the project languished until 1948 allowing the Volkswagon Beetle to get on the road first. Launched to an unsuspecting post-war public at the Paris Motor Show, the much loved French icon was in continuous production until 1990 - a staggering 48 years and some 4 million cars later.

So next time you see that restored two-tone red and black one parked in Place de la République ... show a little respect and give it some room!

This years Paris Motor Show is on from 4th to 19th October

The Adams Family
On the day that it was announced that France had slipped into "technical" recession (whatever that is) the Adams family from Bilhac, were spotted at the Grand Café Maury. Seems daughter Millie just had to have a new pair of boots and the St. Céré wednesday market was the place to get them. Recession? Just goes to show - when the going gets tough, the tough go shopping!
