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.

Sounds very dodgy to me too, Marche is very strict on building regs, and the commune will notice that works are being carried out without a formal agreement and the relevant paperwork being submitted....perhaps it is a misunderstanding?
Jackie may we have an up-date please on what happened to the kittens as you said you were returning to the UK today? Flip in village doorways here they use bottles full of water by the door step, cats keep away.
Have e-mailed a friend in Spello who has a network of friends that re-home abandoned animals...so fingers crossed!.
I will check out for you in Marche and put it on our FB page....perhaps fostering b/f new home?.
Not to mention the rat that escapes.....welcome, we have nipped over to Umbria for a couple of short breaks, very much enjoyed Spello.
Thanks Badger , looks delicious!.
We found the Chinese supermarket on Sunday....now need recipes from Badger as over-come by the variety and didnt know where to start!.
I always find that a simple "put it in writing to me" always works, why agree anything over the phone to someone you dont know? for a service you already have.
We still pay a residents tariff on 3kw.
Andrew you pipped me at the post!, can vouch for them as well, and the setting near Force in Marche is delightful. As for cookery courses, believe lots in the area, no doubt The Retreat can advise.
