 We are very angry as Sky Italia have decided to remove BBC Entertainment from their Channels Especially as they did not even have the courtesy to warn customers of this imminent change. This is disgraceful. The main reason that we have Sky Italy is to watch the BBC channel. This channel is very important for Brits who have chosen to live in Italy. Sky have made a big mistake. Not all  viewers want to watch football and sports !!!  Sky Italia are making the mistake in trying to supply quantity rather than quality programs. A group has been started on Facebook   “BRING BACK BBC ENTERTAINMENT ON SKY ITALIA !!” http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=10150110862420713&ref=ts via  which it is advised to bombard SKY Italia with phone calls, emails and faxes of complaint.  There have been reports of staff on the SKY Client Help Line putting the phone down on irate customers.  Disgraceful !!!  It is clear that SKY have no consideration for their viewers.I have written to several British newspapers on this subject: The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Independent and The Guardian.  Perhaps one would like to write an article on this topic.   If Sky Italia do not restore BBC Entertainment we will cancel our contract and will encourage all our English friends and family to do that too. We have a BLOG and have written about this subject.  BBC Entertainment Has Fallen From The Italian Sky:  You can read my article here: http://trecancelle.wordpress.com/2010/03/04/91-bbc-entertainment-has-fallen-from-the-italian-sky/ Looking forward to hearing from other fans of BBC Entertainment. Ciao for now !!! Luisa http://trecancelle.shapcott-family.com

Precisely !!!We need to respect nature and try to live alongside it wherever possible in harmony with nature, not fight against it. This is our aim.Our worst enemies in fact turn out to br "Weekend Hunters".  Not local folk who have a certain respect for nature, but those who just  blast their way through it !!!Anyone else out there who through Autumn / Winter months, find themselves plagued by hunters?
