Questions Asked
I thought I would start a new thread on this for easy access.
Anyone have any idea on pricing for an external chimney from a pellet stove to reach above the roof line on the 2nd floor of a house. I am posting on behalf of a friend who is not well enough to do her own research, so forgive me for being vague.
I have a very good friend who is being harassed by a previous partner by phone.I remember in the UK that British Telecom had steps they could take to prevent nuisance calls of this nature.
Following on from another thead, what will happen to the ever increasingly aged farming communities, now that their children no longer want to work on the land?
So now being in possession of our permanent residency, apart from health care issues (and the rather nice baseball hat from the Sindico) what other advantages can we expect ?.
An Aesops fables moment (OK I know that was grapes....) I went down to check on our large cherry tree, bent over with the weight of cherries this year and surprised two large adult foxes doing the same thing.

Thanks very much Sebastiano will pm for details.A
First may I say turnip that I wish your relative all the best for his new life in Italy. I think that as in the UK health service dentistry is difficult to find, and on a limited pension it would be difficult to afford the fees of private care. I considered going back to England to my private dentist who was happy to see me, but decided to opt for private care here, which was probably one of the most distressing experiences I have ever had and cost me as much as the airfare to the UK and more. Might it be possible for your relative if he is visiting the UK to see a dentist there?. And if anyone in Marche knows of a pain free dentist let me know , had I been more aware at the time I would have reported him to his governing body.A
. Apologies posted twice,
An interesting point raised by Carole regarding immigrants, which those of us from the UK living here are.UNESCO defines a migrant as someone not living in their country of birth and who has moved for a wide variety of reasons, social, economic, political. Many move and expect to return, many work to send home money to families in their country of birth. Talking to Italian friends they say that much of the work Italians no longer wish to do for example building work is carried out by nationals of another state, perhaps we could compare this with health workers in the UK?. There was post 2nd ww many Italians moving to the UK, America and Argentina, all looking for a better life for themselves and family. Perhaps we need to remember this when the issue of immigration is raised and view it with a more humanitarian eye.A
Thanks for the pics, lovely to see him growing up into such a handsome boy.A
I think they were all just mucking around, and having a bit of light hearted fun (?) or a bit of "lively debate" depending on where you are coming from. Curried custard mmmm perhaps pass on that one.A
According to my latest guest you run around naked only pausing for a pee on the gravel!. (he is only 2yrs old).A
