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.

  It's just the same in England - only the other way round - the Southerners think they are superior to the Northerners!

 It's amazing that no-one was killed - it appeared to move so quickly.  Wonder if the house on the top is still there.  Would they be insured or is it classed as a natural disaster?

  Hi Michael and welcome.  I wish I was there too!  There are several people on the forum in or around Florence so if you have questions ask away.  Good luck.

 The internet is a very speedy  medium and people expect virtually instant answers.  Unfortunately a lot of people spoil forums 'by taking the mick' and when someone posts requiring help and doesn't come back quickly often it is taken that the person isn't really true.  (Which is what happened here)  People have always made up stories to agony columns.  Good to know that Tess isn't one of those. Looking past those of us, who after a few days thought it was a wind up, the amount of offers of help was truly amazing - but they weren't replied to!  That was a shame as those people may be reluctant to offer next time for fear of being ignored.
