Our house purchase took place after about four years of searching, massive and over running building works and costs, banckrupcies and a lot of other stuff besides, three years after owning the property we are nearly there, it has been a charachter building experiance (wouldnt swap it for anything thou). So what do I dislike - Listening to people that tell me they got off the plane, bought the first house they saw and have lived happily ever after!!
Found out some interesting facts about gas supply, shared misery stories about a certain airline, discussed banking arrangements, learned loads about ground sink heating (mostly that I cant afford it)plus loads of other useful info, also had a good laugh with the "and now Ladies and Gents threads" still waiting for my prize for identifiying the coffin thou.
I like Postmac's logic but I think it goes down the wrong track, 1) Handle, would diagree with that, clearly this is a harness device to tether the rats 2) It is copper but I believe that is to counteract corrosion whilst buried 3) Not Clear if its hinged - this is a design feature so that mouse relatives can pay respects Im sticking with Viking Mouse Coffin
Im not defending said airline / bus service in anyway because I find the flight to Italy a pretty miserable experiance (thankfully its only 2 hours or so), you just have to accept that if you stray from their rules your liable for a pretty big charge, our first and last overweight baggage issue coust us around Euro 45 for a few kilo's. What really winds me up - especially on early flights, is the constant announcements over the p.a. normally in a piercing voice at way too high a volume designed to sell a lottery ticket or purchase something from one of their "partners". Im a sure there timed them to wake you up every ten minutes.
Why would you want an Italian account in UK? not sure I understand what you mean by an Italian account. I have a Euro account in the UK with a UK clearer and a Euro account with a local bank in Italy. If an account is open in the UK its a UK account (might not be in GBP but its still a UK account) What are you trying to achieve with the "Italian" account.
This is the true story of George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the shed. George opened the door to go turn off the light but saw there were people in the shed in the process of stealing things. He immediately phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and George said no and explained the situation. Then they explained that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available. George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again. "Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I've just shot them all." Then he hung up. Within five minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed. One of the policemen said to George: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!" George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

ok got you, suggest that you speak to your regular uk bank and ask who their Italian correspondant bank is, they may be able to arrange it that way

Thinking about it, without a winch and a steel rope anchored to a convenient tree, Im not sure I would even attempt a 1:3 on compacted ice.
