Tesco and Eurotunnel[Copied from another Forum]If you shop at Tesco you'll probably be rewarded with Cash Vouchers. What you may not know is that you can exchange these for 3x their value with Eurotunnel.

Got this from the web Announcement: ITALY: BBC ENTERTAINMENT EUROPE Posted By: Administrator Created in: Category: BBC Entertainment Europe - Discussion Posted: 01 Mar 2010, 17:34 Dear Viewers, Unfortunately, SKY Italia has decided not to renew carriage of BBC Entertainment and, as such, the channel ceased transmission on the platform from 28th February 2010 at 24.00 hours. We are currently talking to a number of operators about the opportunity to roll out our portfolio of BBC-branded channels in Italy and we aim to agree carriage for the new channels as quickly as possible so that viewers can resume enjoying BBC content. We hope to be able to announce news of channel launches in the near future. Best wishes, BBC Worldwide Channels
If you are worried about the journey back through the tunnel on a Saturday [and it could get pretty busy then], I'd suggest you get off the motorway before the tunnel[the Faido Jcn is about 12 miles before the tunnel] and follow the 'minor' road that parallels the motorway, and go up over the pass Allow an extra hour to be on the safe side Simples
If you have half an hour to spare, and the weather is not too bad - go up over the St Gotthard pass - fantastic views Driving down is a doddle - if you use the search facility on this site, you'll find plenty of info and advice on driving to Italy
And don't forget the interest charges on the money paid out to buy and install the system If E15.000 spent generates E920 on electricity, lets hope that interest charges are below 6%, otherwise its a waste of cash
Or were others having problems accessing the site [it was 'unobtainable' earlier this morning]? I assume - as there were no postings in the last 35 hrs, that others had the same problem. Any explanation please??????
It could be an ashtray that you could clip/tie to your belt
It looks a bit like something you could use for carrying a candlestick around on/in, to catch the hot wax drips. saving the carpet and your hands

Sky Italian is different to Sky UK in terms of what channels it shows - if you want info, I suggest you use the 'search facility' on this Website, and search for things like 'sky TV', 'satellite TV'. etc - there's lots already posted here. good luck
Found these on the web;- (Corso Malta, every Sunday morning). Colorful and animated flea market. This is a great market for collectors and people looking for antique objects like old furniture, prints, pictures, clocks or books. Antignano - in the district of Vomero , surroundings of piazza Antignano, shoes , clothes, kitchen implements, all for the home; from 7 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. every working day. Posillipo - Good clothes, nice shoes, drapers, kitchen implements and much more : smart people, less fashionable prices...:-) viale della Rimembranza on Thuesdays, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Poggioreale - One km after the Poggioreale jail, at the crossing between via Nuova Poggioreale and via Marino di Caramanico you will find all the kind of shoes you can imagine and desire, at particularly low prices. Open on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. Lot of people, beware of pickpockets! Fuorigrotta - Easy to reach with buses, Cumana and metro, in front the Cumana station of Fuorigrotta, in a very large shed and its surroundings, every kind of goods, groceries, clothes, shoes, drapes, etc. etc. mon-sat from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Forcella - between piazza Garibaldi and corso Umberto, an incredible place where you can find anything, legal or not, from 9 p.m. to noon Porta Nolana Porta Nolana square every day 8am-2pm The Porta Nolana market, beyond the twin towers, is the best fish market in Naples. Just brought in by the fishermen, and all laid out in trays, are all kinds of shellfish, squid and other fish, some still alive, and regularly sparayed to keep them as fresh as possible. At Christmas, you'll also see tubs of still-wriggling capitone, a kind of large eel eaten during the festivities. Mercato dei fiori Piazza Municipio every morning at dawn This flower market (which is also wholesale market) is held in the moat of the Castel Nuovo, close to the embarkation point for the islands. This is where the city's many street vendors come to buy their supplies at dawn, a time when the city is still asleep and the soft perfumed atmosphere must be a delight. It's a lovely day to start the day and something early risers might consider. La Torretta via Giordano Bruno La Torretta, in Mergellina, is one of the city's few covered markets. It's a charming place where you'll find mozzarella, beans and friarelli (a green vegetable that only grows in Campania), as well as slippers and embroidered clothes. Montesanto piazza and via Pignasecca the small Pignasecca market (very busy in the mornings) is a reminder that Spaccanapoli is a working class district where people continue to live. Amid the colourful stalls and smells of the sea, you may be lucky enough to hear the beautiful tenor voice of one of Naples' biggest fish vendors break into song.
