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

Bringing ashes home
When leaving a country with human ashes you will normally need to show:
Each country has its own rules about departing with human ashes and there may be additional requirements. Read information about the country where the person died to find out what you need to do. You’ll need to fill in a standard customs form when you arrive home.
Hope it helps

I haven't got anywhere - Comune insists that some of the Pension had to be 'earned' in Italy - so I don't qualify.
Almost so, but I think that the requirement is not for an Italian pension, but for a pension that some of which was accrued in Italy.
in other words, if a UK employee working in the UK for an international firm did a stint for that firm in their Italian office, his UK pension would accrue in the UK from that work because of bilateral agreements.
Thus he would have a UK Pension, partially accrued in Italy, and could qualify for the IMU reduction.
.........I think.
Problem - looks like I don't qualify, as my pension was only accrued in UK, without any portion being accrued in Italy.
From modicasa's download
The case of a pension accrued exclusively in a foreign country , a hypothesis not provided for by law, does not fall within the favorable regulation .
Maurice -- Brilliant, thank you.
(Now to compose a polite letter to the Comune.)
Maurice - many thanks for that- very useful, (I think/hope).
One thing - where is that form online? My comune sends me the completed F24 form, so I don't fill anything .
Again, many thanks
