Duff French accountants
Tuesday, October 31st, 2006Those of you who have been reading this since the days when it was Mas Camps News will recall that we started off with an accountant highly recommended by the estate agent who turned out to be so bad that we ended up changing to another one recommended by a friend.
Things were working out quite well with them but the girl that had been specifically recommended to us left the accountancy firm late last year. As she spoke quite fluent English and knew how accountancy worked in the UK, the firm had used her to attract a lot of English speaking clients.
Unfortunately, when she left they found themselves with a whole lot of English speaking clients of which the majority don’t have good enough French to be able to use a normal French accountant. They in turn don’t speak good enough English to be able to deal with them properly either. Net effect? Well it seems that they decided not to bother doing anything with the clients that she had brought to the firm.
We only found this out last week after we received what is now a growing pile of penalty notices from various organisations due to our books not being done and called them to see why these were arriving.
Anyway, after being told that “this firm is in a bad way”, we’re now looking for yet another accountant.
As with leaving the last accountants, it should be “interesting” to leave this lot. We already have penalty charges which exceed the bill that they sent us recently so I’ll be forwarding a bill to them.

You kind of expect parks aimed at kids to be child-safe, don’t you? Port Aventura is aimed mainly at children from around 7 or 8 up as most rides are limited to those 1.2m or taller (it charges full-price from age 4 but I’ve yet to see a 4 year old that clears 1.2m) but does have a number of small playground areas for fairly young children.We went right through the Polynesian area of Port Aventura without finding a ride suitable for our 4 year old so he was very keen to get into the playground in the Chinese area of the park when we reached it.
We had decided to have a short holiday in the lull between the rush of guests through to mid-October and those that arrive for the Halloween break.
