(Re Woodburners )Are CO detectors widely available and mandatory as in the UK? I reckon we all should have them. Not seen them locally.

Just wondering how feasible it is to buy a container and fill it with stuff in the UK and ship it out to Puglia? I rather thought I could use it as a workshop / store afterwards...but is it a runner??

I wondered if anyone could explain how to calculate the car tax in Italy, I know it is to do with horse power etc but is there a useful website like our own DVL site which can allow one to find out how much tax is paid on say....

Around 6000 euros a kilowatt. Have a look on the ENEL web site they offer several simulations which allow you to estimate the payback time for wind and solar installations-solar water heating is obviously the first step towards a greener future-but probably not cost effective unless you live there permanently. http://www.enelgreenpower.com/it/
For loads of info on windspeeds and stuff try:http://www.windfinder.com/windstats/windstatistic_taranto_grottaglie.htm and have a rummage- we discovered our part of Puglia was half as windy as our bit of Scotland. (Can get a bit technical but ideal if you are considering a wind turbine!!)CiaoBilly
As regards "stealth taxes" Sibillini I feel I must point out that it was the Tories that invented them.As I recall they doubled VAT to 15% and then raised it to 17.5% when the 'poll tax' went belly up. They increased National Insurance from 6% to 9% but they did cut income tax. They also intoduced Insurance Premium Tax, Air Passenger Tax and the fuel price escalator not to mention adding VAT to gas and electricity!VAT on tampons and toilet paper - luxuries indeed!!No one likes paying tax - witness the demonstrations against Obama's watered down yet still worthy health reforms - but EVERY Government whatever the political persuasion will try and get the money off us without us noticing.Sadly Indirect taxes give the illusion of choice but hit the poor hardest.Finally what about the National Lottery another little earner introduced by the Tories which is a magnet for the poorest in society.TFI Friday.Now, Berlusconi there's a chap to admire......???!!
Just discovered I can watch RAI from my armchair in Scotland, on it's "iplayer type facility"- looks like I can watch Miss Italy tonight It will help with the language acquisition!! http://www.rai.tv/dl/RaiTV/homeTv.html What a find!
OK I probably laid it on a bit thick! Eating out in italy can be cheap of course, but you should try a dreich Scottish winter if you think Italy has it bad!It hardly gets light for a couple of months! However our neighbours are lovely and there is a real sense of community...it's just the weather that lets everything down!
