CALL SIGN EN LA BELLE FRANCE

What's the weather like in blighty then, people? It's still a tad warm here I'm afraid, but don't all rush down here at once!
    
My son, who lives in Kent and is currently on the Knowledge, is seriously considering the option of buying property on the Med as opposed to the Medway! Initially, he became interested in the studio apartments near the beach that are going for 50-60,000 euros, but I've found a better option for him than that.
   How about a 2 bedroom Villa with terrace and front and rear garden for 127,000 euros (about £85,000)? These properties go on sale next spring and the prices will hold for 2005! They are 5 minutes from the sandy beach and essential amenities AND even have summer rental potential! I might even buy one myself! I

was very impressed with the presentation at the show house; they seem a good buy for the money and a sound investment at the same time. Ok so the swimming pool might be communal, but the Mediterranean is just a short stroll away. Give us a ring or drop us a line if you fancy having a look around this type or other properties. Phone and email details are below.
   By the way, thanks to everyone who has sent donations to my 'Neil Harris Everyman Appeal for Testicular Cancer Research'. My New York Marathon run is in early November, so there is still time to for

Call Sign readers to send a donation to the 'Konzeptions Appeal Fund' c/o HSBC, 3 Bank House, Broadway, Sheerness, Kent.
   I'll be in London for a few days before heading off to JFK, I hope Livingstone has sorted the
traffic out for me!
   Several Call Sign readers have already taken up our 4-day inclusive ‘House-Hunters’ package and the weeks are filling up fast.

CONNECTIONS - HIDDEN HISTORIES OF IMMIGRANTS

DAC DRIVERS £500 LOYALTY DISCOUNT FROM M&O!

 A unique exhibition celebrating the hidden histories of Asian, Black and Jewish peoples' experiences of settling into Britain is currently at the Jewish Museum in Finchley until 30 January 2005.
   Connections
is sponsored by the Heritage Lottery Fund and documents the relationships, connections and shared experiences of Asian, Black and Jewish immigrants to Britain. It aims to challenge prejudices and highlight the importance of working together, demonstrating that although tensions, prejudices and competition may occur between minority groups, there have been many incidences of co-operation, mutual learning and support.
   Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London, told Call Sign:

  
"London is a city of many cultures and faiths, each contributing to the cultural richness that is one of our city's hugest assets. It is my hope that all Londoners can continue to work together to strengthen and preserve the many things that bind us together, community to community, and resist that which seeks to divide us. For this reason, I am pleased to welcome the Connections exhibition and its message of tolerance."
   The Jewish Museum, Finchley, The Sternberg Centre, 80 East End Road, N3
Tel 020 8349 1143. Nearest underground station Finchley Central.
Opening Hours: Monday to Thursday 10.30am-5pm, Sunday 10.30am-4.30pm
Following talks with Mann & Overton of Holloway Road, the DaC Board of Management have negotiated a £500 loyalty discount on all new ‘54’ reg TXIIs continuing until 31 December 2004 and is exclusively available to Dial-a-Cab members only. The offer is also available on some selected used TXIIs, passed and plated.

The deal is solely with M&O and members who want to take advantage of the offer must complete the attached voucher and present it to the Sales Manager at Mann & Overton, Ian Butcher.

Needless to say, the vouchers must NOT be passed onto non-DaC drivers as actions such as those could be conceived as being illegal as well as bringing the Society into disrepute.
