They are based in France - maybe the English translated part of the site
is on the blink (I assume there is usually an English part, since I've
heard of several people in the UK buying from them)

I don't know why they would do that but je puis voir c'être un problème si
vous ne parlez pas français.

No. Its too much trouble to type it in -or even to cut & paste it. You
shoulda put the address in the BODY of your post and then we could've simply
clicked on it!

Also, a _small_ explanation of whats _on_ the site wouldn't go amiss.

...Sorry. I know its a small point, but both of these are little pet-hates
of mine. You just happened to win the "millionth usenet poster to do this"
award. :^)

Well that's the sort of help I've come to expect from a lot of people in the
group. Let's hope somebody can be "bothered" to help you when you have a
question.

True but its always been in both languages with some of the later pages
not translated into English. Their prices seem good and as far as I know I
haven't heard of any problems buying from them so its not a problem, is it ?
If u need a translation of a phrase then ask Pat or I will try to help.

The indefinite article for "problème" must surely be "une"?

When I do (and I currently do) I try to be sure to make it as easy for those
I'm asking as possible. No hard feelings though Tony. :)

You're probably right. Damn that Google translation engine :)

Actually I didn't understand what I wrote. And when I say wrote I really
mean pasted.

No. There are exceptions to the the "French nouns ending in 'e' are
feminine" rule and this is one of them.
