Carte Professionnelle

A fantastic present from France today.
I started applying for my professional equivalence card pretty much as soon as the dust settled on the whole Brexit fiasco. French bureaucracy being what it is its been a long protracted affair that's made pretty much no sense to the casual observer. Around the start of November it appeared to have stalled and no amount of polite cajoling could illicit a response. I'd feared a trip to Grenoble would be called for or worse a Brexit induced rejection - but now I've 5 years of relative security.

*had to mask out the legal bits!
