Hurah!
I have an apartemnt in Cachan!! Hurah! It’s very exciting and very stressful!
Nothing is ever simple…take this example:
I want to transfer my exisiting broadband packeage to my new flat.
1. ring internet company. No existing phone line, need to ring France Telecom
2. Wait 10 mins with music for France telecom - no name of previous owner.
3. Ring agency - get name of last owner
4. Wait another 10 mins with more annoying music at FT. Can’t open line becuase previous owner has not cancelled her phone line.
5. Go to the FT shop armed with rental agreement, passport, date of birth of grandmother’s dog. Wait 1hr. Phone line connected!
6. Ring back internet provider. They proceed to disconnect the newly connected line in order to leave me without a phone line for 3 weeks while they connect their line.
Arghhhh!!!!
I can’t face trying to sort out the electricity or water. That can wait another day…
