Cancelling a Eurotunnel Booking
I have had to cancel a return trip on Eurotunnel [Car + 2 + Dog], as I have to go into hospital for an op.
The booking was 'non-refundable'.
IMU - Its still around
I thought this had disappeared in the new tax system, but my Comune website says the first payment for 2014 is due by 16th June
Looks like the days of the easy/cheap trip to italy through Switzerland are numbered.
Apparently, the Swiss government has decided to raise the cost of the vignette to 100 Swiss Francs for 2015.
Petrol prices in France are now comparable with the UK, except on the French Autoroutes.
For a change this year we drove down to Italy via Besancon [avoiding most tolls by taking some good french non-motorways.]
In today's Guardian
Ryanair have announced their credit card will now be liable to the same charges as other credit cards - so the end of no charge bookings

Air in Radiators
As you live in the top flat, air in the system will always tend to collect in your radiators.
I'd suggest that you bleed them every day, rather than waiting for the air to build up in them - bit of a pain, I know, but at least that should get them working more efficiently.
One other thing, if there is a lot of air in the rads, it could indicate a fault in the system, allowing air to enter it. This is often the pump(s). If they are old/worn, or under sized for the job, that could be a major cause. Raise that with the porter when you speak to him. Check the servicing frequency for the system with him.
Good luck
Plus charges for gas, water and electrics - even when the place is empty (Standing Charges). Plus annual gas boiler service charge (mandatory).
How easy was it to get the COVID19 test in Italy? Also, what type of test was it? (PCR or Lateral Flow), and what is the cost?
Glad to see that the Italian 5 day quarantine requirement for UK citizens who are double jabbed will stop on Tuesday - just get a COVID19 test within 48 hours of arrival.
Hopefully we'll get there this year.
Get a new passport in your maiden name? ( I think that's allowable, but not sure)
As long as you aren't in a hurry - I gather there are big delays issuing passports at present.
Are they still requiring uk residents to quarantine on entry to Italy?
