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.

Dont forget Micky and Keith, I will let them know if I need to.A
Another quick thought, lets hope for no rain. we have 4 American friends coming if it is on the 21st, one of whom sang at La Scala last week, so she could lead us in the community singing!?A
Dont forget to look, but meanwhile raffle ticket sales are doing very well, look at Sarahs post re donating and hopefully winning a fantastic prize, I would like the break in Abruzzo, but who will look after my precious cats?. Any offers?A
I wouldnt think it safe to remove with bare hands gromit, they do carry disease, so tweezers sounds safer.A
Just when I thought it was safe to go outside, having learned from Kevans post what wonderful creatures hornets were and how they can fly backwards in order to avoid you and are not attracted to food.....I sat with a refreshing glass of white wine relaxing in the warm evening sun, admiring the view (you know all that Italian stuff) when along comes Mr cheeky hornet, sits on my wine glass , takes a large slurp and then flies off, so be warned, they may not be attracted to food but like the occasional tipple.!.(Wildly off topic...but I did start the thread, get Sarah to tell you her rat story Kevan!)A
Hi Mandly, welcome to the community, very sorry to hear of your recent loss, but glad you have joined us. We are far away from you in Marche, but hope you meet some more local members of the communityA
And whilst I think about it can I thank Ronald and all the staff at Italy Mag for making this possible, hey have you donated re raffle tickets yet?, shameless last few days to promote this!.A
Wow, I am amazed at the support from everyone, raffle tickets going like hot cakes. Thanks so much.A
Hi Gerry and welcome,Gualdo is very close to our house in Marche, how often do you manage to get out here?, and can I sell you any raffle tickets? , donations on BBQ justgiving thread. Sorry am being shameless here!.A
Fascinating Kevan, wasnt meaning to bring you back on track, !, just give you something else to dream about, lucky we dont live in Japan. Perhaps learning more about things we are fearful of will help us to understand them better, I am not yet ready to embrace a hornet though.A
