Can anyone advise please, our UK TV which we bought over here appears to have given up the ghost (we get Sky Italia through it). Its sound is fine but the picture is just a thin bright line.

Penny have sent you a pm. A
As with many things it seems to vary so much between comunes, ours are good for a village of 800 people they employ 7 workers, who do a good job in clearing and maintaining roads, and also with snow forecast clearing that from our white road as well. Whereas the next village along with a larger population seems to employ one old guy and his dog....and the dogs pretty past his prime too! A
Thanks so much have passed this on to a friend who has just bought in Marche very helpful. Ax
Having had both here in Italy, I would have to say wood burning stove every time, more efficient, cleaner, warmer. Having sat in smoke filled rooms where friends have insisted on keeping their "charming" open fire, there is no contest, its no fun having the windows open in the middle of winter to let the smoke out and then freeze!, A
I am no expert on this, and doubt the real situation will ever be discovered. But my view for what its worth is that whilst Amanda did not have the intent to murder, things got out of hand and she was involved and took part in the death of Meredith.As to whether the conviction is sound, I would need to be judge and jury on that and do not have the information or the legal expertise to inform me. But dont feel it was a facesaving conviction.A
