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.

Thanks for pointing the way Gala, I have just joined.A
Karen, thanks so much, the website looks great even though it is work in progress!.Ax
rather than buy from supermarkets Fox, we buy our meat from our village lady butcher, who obtains her meat locally and from organic farmers, all this clearly displayed in large posters around her shop.It isnt cheap, so a smaller amount goes a long way . I still havent come to terms with the lamb though, it is very expensive and I dont seem to cook it very well!, even when I use my Silver Spoon recipe book, anyone got any favourite fool-proof ideas for cooking it?A
Brilliant joint effort by everyone who donated, gave their time and energy and money to the appeal, time for a lie down now?.Ax
Should be automatic Sarah!Ax
Have just been and bought all the plastic beakers (2x sizes for beer and wine) plates and knives and forks and napkins for the BBQ.Hope everyone else got on OK with their research!A
Hi John and welcome to the community.You could try Self at Piediripa, the nearest to a B&Q we have found, beware of funny opening times, closed I think all day Monday and then closed again between 12.30 and 4pm (roughly) on other days. Its situated in a large industrial estate, in a shopping centre close to a large cinema mutiplex. Or there is a company called Brico near to Tolentino, again in a large shopping , industrial complex.Sorry if directions are a bit hazy someone else will probably be more precise!.A
Oh no ours are special bricks! , sort of longer than normal, wont get them all in our car, will bring some and then maybe by then you will have more idea of how many?Sorry you are getting the run around ,can David help you?A
Rough estimate Sarah, is 120 bricks, does John have a plan and an idea how many it will need to build the BBQ?Ax
Sounds a good idea Sarah, I am off to count bricks back in a bit!A
