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.

Hurrah Joy at last....I have been out all day as well!. What Gala says is interesting about niche markets, we know people who have done this via their olive oil and bye products, and it is very popular with the jaded English market for the "authentic" Italian product, which still has a snob value, we all laughed at hug an olive tree, but when I saw it featured in Homes and Gardens as the ultimate Christmas present we had to acknowledge it worked. What I think is Italians produce fantastic produce and goods but the marketing is sometimes rubbish, if they get that right...the skys the limit. BTW the hat that Kate wore for the cruise down the Thames was made in the next village to us...so someone is getting it right!.

Great list...must remember the snow shovel this year. I would add to it watch the forecast, listen to the neighbours and also stock up on all medications.....took me 3 weeks to get out and up to the village last winter.

Why should you?...EU sharing of banking information when they think a possible fraud has been commited.

I dont think the fact that the season is ending (for some) has any bearing, it seems from the article that the Italian authorities have had access to UK bank accounts, which we have always been aware of.

I read it too Sebastiano, it appears there will be investigation into their liability for paying tax on their earnings in Italy...its been a long time coming.
