Sadly, it looks like some people will again be struggling to get here and/or go back for the bank holiday weekend coming up next week, hopefully a lot of rescheduling can be undertaken? As a point of interest, the following website shows the lack

I don't know if it is me (or my computer !) but .....................every now and then, it is like this forum goes to sleep. I was only thinking the other week how fantastically useful the forum is for getting and donating information, research,

Prior to buying our little bit of Italy, I insisted on having a certificate of habitation fully signed and sealed. Does this have to be renewed at any point or is it only if I sell sometime in the future? S

I don't dislike the lizards that bask in the sun and race around (and seem to bite each others tails?) the garden and rockery that we have.................but, this year we seem to have LOADS more than previ

Does anyone know the tree here in Italy called ............(I think!)...............'amoro'............OR 'umbrello'? We have one tree that sprouts like a 'good-un', there are others around here in Le Marche, but every year they are SEV

There are times when I also get frustrated as I don't really understand the actual process, who does what etc. But, to date, clicking 'create content' on the menu bar up above..........works for me. BUT, one's content doesn't necessarily appear staright away (I don't know why !) I agree also that it would be 'nice' to know who is actually moderating the site. Given all that, there is a LOT of interaction here although there are times when it seems to 'stop dead'. I use to count to ten...............then I changed to fifteen ! S

Is this every year ? I assume not............if you had to, supposing you bought a property for (say) £250k(10yrs ago), you would need to pay nigh on 2k every year ? gulp !! S

I am a bit lost with this one.........I look forward to hearing responses to this one. There is a requirement to provide cover, but never heard of it being related to income? There IS a new notice at the ospedale, it may be linked to this? Penny will know................... S

My gawd........... 6 months ago, we had a problem with our dishwasher, called someone out, they 'fixed', went away and it worked (it cost 220Euro for a new circuit board). 4 months ago, another problem..............called him out again, (the original fix had a 2 yr guarantee).......this time problem with a plastic 'thingy'................he 'fixed' it, we paid 110 Euro and it worked. 2 months ago, another problem..............called him again (the original two fixes were in guarantee period !), this time problem with the pump, pump replaced , paid 130 Euro and it worked. So now, 460 Euros later........................we have ANOTHER problem..................it seems like a 'programme' related problem.............very intermittent..................should we bin it ??
