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.]

Can you help?
I've just completed making a 'variation' of Limoncello.

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

According to my online translation 

"pipemiere"  means "pipe smith"  - hence my link to possible tobacco pipe making

"pipe miere" means "mine pipes" - hence possible link to mining.

 

But - who knows?????

Alternatively,  he may have worked making pipes (for smoking tobacco)  - apparently it was quite an industry at the end of 19th/early 20th Century in Lombardia.

Hopefully Ugo will be able to advise you. 

I don't know about going through Germany/Austria,  but have you looked at going farther West, through the Simplon Pass? 

The Simplon is always open, and doesn't have the 'flow restriction' that tunnels such as the Gotthard Tunnel does have.  I use it more often than the Gotthard route.

 

I'd play safe and get a photo driving licence.  It's pretty easy to do.

You can do it online.
