I see we have a Restaurant Review procedure - but could we have all the reviews as their own topic so it's quick and easy to see what's been recommended.  Currently on a search I have to wade through all the other food stuff.  Or am I doing someth

Yesterday a German friend was telling me about an English friend of hers who wanted to get "closer" to a French woman of his acquaintance.  So he decided to invite her out for a meal.  But of course to the English, anything too lavish on a first d

Noddy, have you got the Esse Ironheart??  I thought I was the only one crazy enough to lug it over from the UK!I agree that it can take the place of central heating for most of the winter.  And it makes a good banana bread too!

. . I'd say that Jepsonclough 's directions are spot-on, except that you need to take a definite RIGHT before the Bar Stazione - towards Montefortino.  Then Stefano's is on the left after the Conad and as described by Sprostoni PS - Sebastiano says elsewhere on this site that he's got a 25% discount sale on at the mo

....I mean all in.  for instance, we've just paid £44 for valet parking Thurs - Tues.  The longstay at Stansted would've been £40.   I book through Aadvark.

I can get out of my car at Stansted and be having my breakfast in Frankie and Bennie's having gone through security within 5-10 mins.That's due to online checkin and valet parking (which ony costs about a fiver more than the long-stay)True, I'm hanging around at the aiport for a couple of hours, but by the time I've ha breakfast, been to Boots & WH Smiths, got to the gate and settled down with the paper, it doesn't seem bad at allI've always said that you must remember to factor in waiting tme when deciding wich form of transport is the quickest.  But I must say having discovered the checkin and parking thingies, the airport wait is pretty hassle-free now

Although Amandola isa bit of a way from you, I would have a chat with Stefano Lucozzi before committng to bringing a stove frm UK. If your main concern is cost I'm not sure there'd be a lot in it by the time you've factored in the transport.Stefano also has a showroom in Tolentino.We did bring over a stove ( nearly killed us) but that was becuse wewanted a specficmake not available out in Italy.  We bought a second one from Stefano for about E800Nodoubt there are lots of other places you could buy a stove over here, but Stefno does speak v good English and is very helpful

Many thanks for all of these - I'm impressed by all the imaginative ways of keeping in touch with the spoken language.Montana - I had a look at the site you recommend, but could you tell me which of those stations is the one you listen to?
