Yet another "hidden" advert for essay writing website
Yet another hidden link to an essay writing website.
My Comune emails me the F24 , I sign it, email signed copy to my Italian bank who pay it
Well, the filtering checks don't work that well - it seems that every other post (by newbies - but not the one above) is an essay writing advert
Only thing you now need driving down is the Covid Pass for entry to France (and possibly Italy)
My place - used about 10 weeks a year, costs approx €600 for Council Tax and €180 for the TARI Rubbish Tax.
For the TARI I get collections of rubbish bags, four or 5 times a week from the front gate
We live in a small 'hamlet' of approx 20 houses, down a narrow road. Collection is by a one man mini tipper truck which returns to a central area and tips its load into a "normal sized" rubbish lorry. This system of mini tipper operates throughout the commune area, even in the ,town', because of narrow streets
I know it's several years ago, but we bought the flatpack beds and rolled up foam mattresses from IKEA. They fitted in the car for transporting to our house
Drove back last week from Italy to UK
Switzerland - no restrictions
France - few restrictions, mainly masks on Public Transport
United Kingdom - No restrictions, or checks on entry (even if not vaccinated)
Go to your local super/hypermarket and buy some bags of pellets there.
This may help.
