Does anyone know how Italy is for asthma.  Having only been couple of weeks at a time just wondering for people there long term how they find it compared to UK.  Also how they cope for treatment.  Thanks

I have just read the youth unemployement figures - very worrying!  40.5% in Italy (20.7% in UK)  which will only lead to more youngsters leaving the country to find work.  Ireland lost 400,000 15-24 year olds in last 3 years.

Did anyone see the programme on BBC4 last night - Good Italy Bad Italy - very interesting if not depressing.

I remeber a few weeks back someone said they couldn't have an electric kettle on at the same time as water heater. Is this something that only happens in rural areas or is it everywhere?

I am appealing for help please. My great nephew 8 year old Jude is now really disabled with Muscular Dystrophy. He is a really happy little boy but due to his deterioration finding things to keep him busy is becoming more difficult.

Thought it might be interesting to know why people chose the area they now live in. Whether its because you have family there, just like the area etc.

If you were born in England or Wales then you can get a certified copy from the registrars office in the town you were born or from the General register office in London.  hth

Thank you all - elliven, celticfire, andiamo, moruzzo and mark for taking the time to reply. I will put all of those places on my list and bear in mind all the 'do's and don'ts'. Thought I would get all the planning sorted early as being self employed work is always horrendous before taking time off! I am very grateful for all your ideas - thanks again.  Joyheart

We get the green shield bugs in our garden in Dorset.  They are also called stink bugs but haven't actually killed any myself to find out.  There are loads of sites giving details of all types of bugs - just google and see if you can find what you are looking for!  Best to know what things are in case of bites/stings.smiley

I have passionfruit plants in my garden here in Dorset.  We are right by the sea so get a lot of wind but no matter how badly I treat them by cutting them right back they just come up again each year flowering  and fruiting for all they are worth.  They were already in when we bought the property 12 years ago and they self seed all over the place!  They are certainly very hardy here but I don't know about where you are.  Good luck as they do look very attractive when in bloom.

I read a while back that there can be an 'Foreign' price and an 'Italian' price.  Is this actually true? As Ruth says the local estate agent is the lowest - is this the best place to look? Hope you find what you are looking for Ruth and of course at the right price!
