Don't shoot the messenger, I was giving the recommended values from Citroen themselves. But I'm going to DISAGREE 100% with what you've posted.

If the garage have told you to put 31 in front and rear then I'd really suggest looking at another garage, since the front is much heavier than the rear on a saxo, and therefore the fronts need additional pressure to counter the additional mass pushing down on the tyre - else you'll have increased wear on the front.

I have a label on the door of my 1.1 mark one saying 32psi on front tyres and 29 on the back. Curious why citroen said 36psi to you :s
