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.

Elicat is right a full blood test is around 50euro, but visits to a specialist can be as little as 16.50 euros, and where I live , in Marche which has excellent health facilities, there is a much shorter waiting time. Your GP is the gatekeeper for the red "ticket" which refers you to the health care specialists, but he/she may well need prompting, and if you are coming to live here and have exisisting chronic conditions, make sure you bring enough medication to last until your Italian equivalant is found, individuals have to take much more responsibility for their health here in my opinion, you tend to carry your own notes and xrays around with you, I think people seem to take a much more active interest regarding health, and argue about where is the best hospital, who is the best specialist, and if you ask them how they are they will tell you in graphic detail without any qualms, my medical Italian is coming on well!A
I live in Marche Alma, close to a place called Montegiorgio, up in the hills between the mountains and the sea, think Andrew is around these parts too. I can remember in Derbyshire when the old guys still spoke a sort of dialect, but I guess they dont now, but its still going strong around here!A
Ah just to be picky, its caller a ricer, not a proper potato masher!!!, and I have one of them, the ricer that is. But thanks .A
Being a market and kitchen utensil store lurker Gromit, I can honesty say that in my part of Italy , I have never seen a potato masher!, cherry stone removers yes, and some things I have no name for but potato masher neinte. But I stand to be corrected, hands up who has ever seen one?A
We have used ours a Bosch very happily for 3 years here, its cold fill only and about I guess 6 years old now. In fact we bought out a fridge freezer, iron, toaster, all have been fine. its best to be aware that too many electrical goods being used at one time may trip your electrics depending on the supply you have.We did though buy our gas cookers here. I know you were only talking about your washing machine , but you might like to consider buying other goods in the (I assume) UK before you come out, as they can be difficult to source and possibly more expensive. The humble potato masher is a case in point!A
Well done Moxie, can I have visiting rights?, a happier ending for this sad event.A
Have sent you a pm.A
And he looks a very happy boy!, what is it with all these cats.Mine as probably everyone knows by now is the much recovered Misha.

I wont tell then of the day when some naughty boy locked Clara in the Art store room, for the entire lesson, down in the orchard nobody heard, seemed funny at the time, not now though. My sisters were at the school before me and elder was head girl, a tradition she still carries on to this day!Lots of memories we can share, my father worked for Kennings, and knew everybody in Matlock, my youth was blighted!.Re BBQ, you really dont need to bring anything but yourselves, look forward to it.Angie
