TAG pops in for coffee

I think TAG is your friend on line, who pops in for a coffee with the latest news.
 We all need each other, more than we know, through TAG you can find out what is happening.  From me you learn what should be happening ( meant to be a joke!)
What support systems there are, what other expats are feeling, what the French are doing.
The biggest disincentive to French life,  people tell me is the dreaded  "Monsieur Guillotin" at the tax office. This is now the name for any unsmiling difficult personage at tax offices throughout France, beware of the guillotine.,
You can say " problem with the Gullotine and I would know what you mean.  Perhaps you need to live in the St. Antonin area to get this joke.
 It is true French bureaucracy is the " killer" for us all, if we could only crack this, life would be so much simpler.
But the French say this too, and no I have mine black and no sugar, and if you have a beignet avec confiture, it would be churlish to refuse. ( jammy doughnut)
