Questions Asked

After my success answering Annec's question, its my turn. However, I’m not clever enough for an ‘Italian’ question – so I’ll go for one with a ‘Greek’ connection insteadI’m a ‘sad’ man who likes numbers.

From memory the ticket is valid for 24 hours and you can get on and off as often as you like.  Do a complete trip to decide where to go to and then 'flit about' .

Answer to: Washing Machines

Yes you can - however there are c couple of things to be aware of:-

  1. UK washing machines tend to be quite hungry for electricity - usually close to 3kW.  You need to check what power you have at your Italian place - if its the 'norm' of 3KW it means that you have to be careful what else is switched on at the same times - otherwise your 'main fuse' will cut out.  The one we bought in Italy has a lower power requirement - the only effect really is the the water takes a bit longer to heat up.
  2. If your UK machine is one of the older types that has 'hot and cold fill' requirements - you can fit a simple 'T' adaptor to connect both hot and cold fill hoses to the cold water supply - again, the only effect is a slightly longer water heating cycle 

 Hope this helps
