I have a 16 year old Italian girl coming to stay with me for 2 weeks at the beginning of August. I have tried the local schools to see if there is anyone learning Italian with whom she can meet and spend some time - no luck. I live between Selby
Can anyone help. When we moved to Italy we brought with us a new Stoves Cooker (LPG). One oven has stopped working and as we have shipped abroad the guarantee is invalidated. It doesn't help that apparently Stoves do not sell in Italy. We have
I work on the outskirts of Leeds and live near York and would love to have the opportunity to meet for Italian conversation on a regular basis. I studied an A Level Italian and whilst I can read reasonably well I don't get the opportunity to spea
Hi everyone. Just new to the Community - haven't a clue what to put in tag!! I'm actually in North Yorkshire but the rest of the family have already moved to Sioli in the Commune of Gubbio in Umbria. Will be moving as soon as I sell my business
Hi, I'm just waiting for Phil to collect some furniture. This will be the second time I have used him. I think you will find his rates very competetive. E-mail: philipwhite7@googlemail.com. Ciao Pauline
Thanks for your suggestions. I shall do some more ringing round. I'm fine Phil - hope you enjoyed the drive to Italy. The furniture is now safely ensconsed in it's new home. Hope you are enjoying the sunshine in Le Marche! Ciao Pauline
Just thought you may like to know the end of my gas cooker saga. Bought the two parts recommended by Nick and at last through a neighbour found someone who mends gas cookers. Apparently when there is a power surge or an electrical storm it is blowing the micro switch. I have therefore bought 2 spares to have in Italy. It is worth others knowing about the elctricity surges/storms as the same problem caused our satellite dishes to blow. Thanks for all your help!!
Ciao Lindyp and welcome - We live in Sioli between Gubbio and Umbertide. I sort of commute on a regular basis between Norh Yorkshire and there. Doing so until I finally sell my business in Leeds. If you are near Leeds there is an Italian Conversation Group at Borders Bookshop in Leeds on 22nd July at 7.00pm. Never been before but I'm going to give it a try. If you can make it let me know and we can introduce ourselves.
Hi Nick, I'm in sunny Italy. First thing it's a Rangemaster not a Stoves. Runs on gpl - bought this way. We rang Rangemaster and told it was probably one of two things. Got a switch which fitted behind fascia. Turned on and blew. The switch cost £10. Other part that may be the problem was a part costing £90 whichh we were told was more complicated to fit. Think it was something to do with the actual burner. Loathe to spend money not knowing if it will fix the problem. Any troubleshooting tips welcome. Model Rangemaster Classic 110 lpg. Many thanks
Hi Nick, We have a Stoves and we purchased it to run on gpl. It has two ovens and one of the ovens just stopped working. My husband spoke with Stoves and they sent a small part (some kind of switch) cost £9. They fitted it last week and it just blew up giving my son a small electric shock in the process, I'm in England and they are in Italy. I'm travelling over tomorrow so will be back in touch when I can give you a bit more detail. I've now got a couple of names of companies in Perugia. I know my husband asked around and noone has been able to recommend anyone. So many thanks everyone. I'm sure we'll solve the problem together!!.
Tried the Stoves route and we got a part they thought might be the culprit - 3 hours to fit the part and the grand switch on - the new part blew!!. That's why I was hoping to get someone with some experience. If they can identufy the part I should be able to get one in England. I shall try google - thanks for all your help.
Welcome Janet & Stephen and hello to everyone from the Lago Trasimeno area. We live between Umbertide and Gubbio, my husband, son, daughter in law and 2 grandchilderen are now residents having moved in April 2008 and I will be joining them as soon as my business is sold - hopefully soon!!. Unfortunately I'm still in sunny North Yorkshire, just outside York and have to wait for my visits. For a long weekend then flying to Perugia is ideal. The airport is super - nothing hi-tec and all very friendly. We shall have to arrange an Community get-together in the near future.
