Just enjoyed a lovely bass cooked on the BBQ.  Not being very scientifically minded, if I was to bury the remains, head, bones and tail and plant something on top would it rot down and become what we know as blood, fish and bone ???

Please note also that the John Lewis £7.50 delivery charge excludes some items, such as electrical goods. So no good for coffee makers, vacuum cleaners, which, in the main, are considerably cheaper in the UK than in Italy.

If you want to download books from Amazon UK rather than Amazon USA then don't buy your Kindle from amazon.com because you will then always be automatically directed to the American site, and only be able to choose from their selection - unless you are able to re-register your Kindle. I would suggest that you visit the Kindle Store on amazon.co.uk and read the threads in the discussion forum, there is a lengthy debate on this topic. It seems that it's best to buy your Kindle from amazon.co.uk and have it delivered to an address in the UK, then send or bring it from there to Italy, amazon.co.uk can't send Kindles to addresses outside the UK.

Beside our 'green bin' I have seen all sorts including, old tv's, sun loungers, hoovers etc, (never a washing machine tho), all do seem to go...either before or when bin emptied....maybe worth a try as one man's rubbish is another mans brass, if you get my drift... ps.. Are the sun loungers still useable and does the washing machine still spin ? Ax pps.. Washing machine stainless steel drums make good containers when buried for plants to restrict root growth....the tap sort ! Ax
