I am hoping that there is someone out there who can help me! We need to put a barrier across our road and are looking for a farm type gate - the sort that you see everywhere in the UK - in either wood or metal.

Well thank you everyone, that was most enlightening! It was also interesting to see again all the different variations in spelling that people use. That was definitely how they spelled it in the Marche!

I was shopping in my local branch of Conad when in the vegetable section I saw what looked like bulbs, small and with a papery covering with a small bulb like sprout of green at the top.

When I first moved permanently to Italy one of the few things I missed was Marks and Spencers. It was still there of course, but would not deliver to Italy.

We have been watching Penny's trials and tribulations about getting full unlimited SSN cover in the Marche with trepidation!

We live here in Italy permanently so we have a Telepass because we never have any cash on us!

For the last two years I have been plagued by a flying beetle, small, black with grey dots on it, who gets into the rose buds and eats all of them away. I have tried spraying soapy water on them, but they just fly away and come back later.

My three grndchildren are arriving tomorrow - they are 6, 4 and 3. Last time they stayed we went to castles in La Rancia and Pallotta and the Dinosaur Park and Frassassi caves.

We do the same as Chris - God Bless Alan H!!! - he has saved us so much money from going through Belgium, Luxembourg, Gotthard Tunnel etc, and the best bit of advice to get round Basel with no traffic! We too stay around Colmar, Mulhouse, Freiburg etc, and try to find new and interesting places to try out. We have always found the Alsace region very welcoming, not too expensive and easily reachable for the overnight stop.
Well I personally hate the only questions and answers format. I have lived out here for 15 years and I don't really need to ask lots of questions, but I do like to get other people's opinions on things. I feel that this format has effectively stopped the support and friendship that we had. I know I really appreciated this. Now the questions are about stuff that most people can find out with a little simple google searching.
Lovely to meet up with hazy and give her our books that we have read. If only there was more opportunity for people to swap and share stuff!
Why make it even more difficult for people to use this forum? Most people see it as a very useful way of exchanging information and knowledge. With this format, it is almost impossible to see if anyone has said anything about a subject before.Why make this change when people were only just getting to grips with the change from the old italymag format?
Have sent one back to you!
Thanks everyone. We will set off on Monday and hope that we get through France OK and then try to buy some before we come back. We don't have a problem with drinking and driving rules - I think there should be a nil level - but it is more about the French police having a tendency to pull Brits over for anything! Still, it should be better in an Italian plated car. Thanks for the advice guys.
Yes, we too would be most interested in this. We have no income in Italy, and still pay UK taxes on our pension, but we have had to keep our heads down for some time! It would be good if we could have details of this jurisprudence case. Well done Ram!
Hi Maxine, There is a great festa in Colmurano on 12 -15 July inclusive called Artistrada. It is great fun with performers and street artists as well as artisan stalls and huge pizza ovens making pizzas etc. It all starts in the evening each night and is noisy, brightly coloured and fun for all ages. Also free! Hope this is of interest to all the family.
How true Angie and Robert! We have a combi boiler which we use for hot water only all through the year, and very efficient too. In the winter months, we huddle into one floor and fill up the wood burning stove with all the spare wood I collect all the way through the spring, summer and autumn - free heating! We looked at solar etc, but could never recoup the cost, so we stick with the old ways.
Thanks for that link. I have tried it out and have found out the numbers that I need to put in the boxes. I can see that codice ente is the code for the comune, but I still don't know what codice tributo is - but I have found the right one to use!
