robin craig Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Oh Jack! Did you get caught? Are you now planning a defense before the magistrate? Come on fess up! Im sure wholesale removal has some law municipal or federal against it but if your worried about the amount caught up in your tartan blanket after eating your sandwiches im sure your ok. My 2 cents worth of nothing! R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin craig Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I'm sure the Euro-Bureaucrats in Brussels will have a specially formulated law against that! R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff66 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 jack take a equal quantity of sand from the uk and call it cross border harminisation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Agreed Tony, there is in this country but is it the same in France? Yes Degsey. as Topdog says , metal detectors are also banned unles you have a licence. The French laws on such things are especially harsh. The Calvados area, have some special conditions all there own as well. For the 65th anniversary trip Goldbeach organised it took eighten months and about four hundred diffrent permits.
