    Pay taxes is a good thing. It's necessary to have publics services. It's solidarity and brotherhood. Sorry for my very bad english.

      Never apologise for your English. It’s good. I don’t mind paying taxes but not taxes that have been abolished

    I love this song so much! And even though I'm a dunce in English, it's quite simple to find the title and without using Shazam, you just have to activate the subtitles then do a search with one of the verses. Et voilà. It's up to you to find it! ☺

    We had the same thing Rob regarding the habitation tax even though this is our primary residenc reds e and dont have a property in the UK anymore when we first arrived here. Went to the local French Services and lady there made a phone call. and it was cancelled immediately 😅 …. Hope this helps …. Ian and Ann (Lussac Les Eglises)

    You are most welcome for the donation - it's really from my pups Pippi and ObiJuan. It's a great thing you are doing....
    But I wasn't confused about the California song - I saw that you posted the name 😘. I am, however, obsessed by the "night time" lullaby tune you play when closing out for the night. It's so peaceful....

    Nice Video, with tax pop down to the office in Montmorillon I am still trying to sort out all my property problems and to get refunds I have to wok out my first tax return in France that will have to be submitted soon. For all us new commers to France. Because you may of rented before check that they did not class that address as a second home even it was on a temporary basis. Not one to Bost but being a 6 times home owner its a nightmare.. I will be submitting my tax soon. Any Notare records always help at the tax office. Not sure about that old white vest you had on for the pod cast. I am glad one of the other subscribers mentioned the red nose, I was wondering the same thing, Merci

    You got me completely - hook, line and sinker when you said you didn't know what the California song was ... I rattled off a huge rant quoting all the odd bits of lyrics from this Earworm you play that I could remember, which was most of them, you've been sliding the song into your vlogs and now its like an old friend...anyway so i dashed off the coment only to turn back on again just as you grin and play the song. Deleted comment quick as, Got me!

    I'm sure you tell them every year about the house situation on your tax page, bien immobilier the tab is called, I know I've done it for the last 2 years, you have to enter the house details like sq metreage and number of rooms and then list habitants if I remember correctly. Email the tax office about your situation, I expect you can get it removed. Good luck

      @@Escapetofrance-Charente they are good, have you done your first tax return? Thats when they know more about you. Take proof of your sale of house in the UK, purchase here (for dates) and all your visa stuff, if you used a proper removers their invoice with dates, anything that proves you dont leave the country, passports would show that and I'm sure they'll exonerate it. Maybe even a letter from your mairie stating its your primary residence, i font about 16 tax offices but the ones in 86, especially Montmorillon are excellent at sorting this sort of stuff out, even they complain about the bureaucracy and stuff 😂. Good luck
