Anyone have any idea on pricing for an external chimney from a pellet stove to reach above the roof line on the 2nd floor of a house. I am posting on behalf of a friend who is not well enough to do her own research, so forgive me for being vague.

I have a very good friend who is being harassed by a previous partner by phone.I remember in the UK that British Telecom had steps they could take to prevent nuisance calls of this nature.

Following on from another thead, what will happen to the ever increasingly aged farming communities, now that their children no longer want to work on the land?

So now being in possession of our permanent residency, apart from health care issues (and the rather nice baseball hat from the Sindico) what other advantages can we expect ?.

An Aesops fables moment (OK I know that was grapes....) I went down to check on our  large cherry tree, bent over with the weight of cherries this year and surprised two large adult foxes doing the same thing.

Well done Badger, best of luck!, we have friends that have hand reared tiny kittens and their two Maremmas were very gentle with them.

Can you give me more details on the plug in device plse, is it something we could buy at Global Images in Piano di Montegiorgio?.

If the writer found Italy such a nightmare then I am surprised they lasted 35yrs!.It seems a very negative view-point, whilst eveything is not rosy here, some of it is very good. My experience with the build of our apartment was that it came in on budget and no "back-handers" were exchanged, and I have no problem being transparent with my tax dealings. Not really sure why you posted this on an Italian forum?.

Well according to my neighbour Mario, they are all fascists except for in our village, he remembers the war time years, and still attributes the same guidelines to everyone else. We are in southern Marche and when we talk about going to Sicily he says we need to take a pistol with us. How much is founded on the real world here now or not is a moot point, we have never experienced it here.

Excellent authentic Japanese lunch at Zen, 10e for the fixed lunch-time menu. Badger would recommend and be interested in what you had to say about it.......Makes a welcome change.

Answer to: Ancona airport..

This rumour has been much discussed within other groups, and whilst I can see Sebastianos point it is still presenting a worry to the holiday letting community in Marche. The latest is that it is being debated at comune level, no doubt a trickle down consultation excersise. However as it appears that Ancona has made a profit this year so may be spared the chop, especially after all its recent upgrading. The only thing to do is keep an eye on the press and the TV news. But I would be grateful if others could share any concrete information that they may have.
