Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Does anyone know of a chip (or disk, or anything else) that I can put in my telepass that will make it work on the French motorways. Maybe there is a website that I could buy something from ??
Any ideas ??
It's a real pain if you're on your own having to drive around France grabbing those little tickets all the time and then trying to use my school boy French (my name is, I live in, etc) whilst leaning over to pay your road tax - until you get through the monte bianco tunnel of course.

, why don't you just get a French telepeage badge?
How come you get asked for your name and where you live? Do you have a suspicious look about you?
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Next year they are supposed to be launching a telebadge to cover the whole of the EU. It already exists between Spain and France, apparently.

LoL - that's the full extent off my French Talkie. I remember sitting in class at school (the world was grey-scale then BTW) having French taught at me (not to me).
A mate of mine did a conversational Italian course at the local college last year and she spent half of the time being taught how to conjugate verbs. What a waste of time. No wonder the English can't speak foreign languages.
At least BASI have got rid of that daft booklet they used to send out asking you to conjugate shed loads of verbs to the 'enth degree. I teach Italians to ski (Ok to them I sound like Manuel from Fawlty Towers) and can happily get by in Italy but I couldn’t answer some of the questions on the BASI workbook. If BASI can realise that verbal tests are better (at the level required by most people) then surely so can schools.
Ooops ping thread drift

If I want to use it in France - will I need the Euro-Test 1st
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

, but I remain puzzled as to why a French telepeage gizmo would make fewer demands on your French language skills than handing over your credit card or a few euros. I have never been called upon to say more than "bonjour" and - if feeling particularly chatty - "au revoir" at a péage.
