We used to use Book Depository to get books for our Italian friends at Christmas.
Book Depository now closed. Does anyone know of an Italian (or EU) bookshop that will accept orders from the UK and deliver to an Italian address?

"Can someone tell me that once opened, how long will it keep in the fridge?" As long as it takes you to drink it. ...................................... [It won't go 'off']
The Zebra crossing bit - priceless!!!!!
They stopped the World service to Europe a couple of years ago [for a while I thought my SW radio was bust!]
My place has an ][old] fan assisted radiator - its brilliant. Normally i don't use the fan part [so it works like a normal radiator], but in Winter, when i first get to the house I switch on the fan - the rise in temperature is noticeable and pretty quick, In my lounge [approx 5m by 10m with concrete floors and ceiling and no double glazing], we get a 2 degree rise within 30 minutes or soif you take the cover off mine it looks like a big car radiator [lots of fins for heat exchange] - but you do need to ensure that it gets a good supply of hot water from the Central Heating system
My family recipe [I still have some sloe gin that's over 30 years old - but daren't try it unless I've had a few 'stiffeners' first] I cup of sloes [each pricked once or twice]1 cup of sugarput in a gin bottle and top up with the strongest gin you can get [Dad used to get it, via a friend, from the local US base(shows how old the sloe gin is now - they all shut years ago!)] Shake well and place in cupboard - shake every weekAfter 3 months take all but a few of the sloes out of the bottle and top up with gin -Drink in a liqueur glass Done now - ready for Christmas
