A lot of the labouring I could do myself, and for some strange reason fixtures and fittings are much cheaper in France, I've heard of people doing a booze cruise to Calais and buying an entire bathroom suite at the same time cos prices are so much lower. When I cycled through Cotentin the locals would shout encouragement, " Bon route!" And such. I used to get shouted at as I rode through East London but it was hardly ever encouragement.
