Questions Asked

I think the groups now exist

[at least - when I go to the 'make a new post' section, there they are, in the "Audience" section]

 

Anyone used the Harwich to Hook of Holland ferry service?

By chance I went on the old Forum yesterday - found that someone had PM'ed me from that forum only a few days ago.

 

I hadn't got any notification of a PM, but obviously the old Forum PM system still works 

Hopefully they may start flights to the North soon ?

what else can one say?

I can't beleive that its 17+ hours since the last post - or has my PC taken over and hidden everything?

Hopefully this will kill Blair's ambitions off.

There is an interesting article in today's G2 section of the Guardian newspaper by a woman who moved to Italy, founded a successful business, and has now moved back to the UK [but still has the business] because she missed London

If you google "Italy calculate IMU" there is a fair amount of useful advice. 

Yet another poster who posts an innocuous post (usually on an old post) and some time later adds a hidden link to a website.

Link now removed - why not just delete the post  ( and mine?)

Probably worth a day on Capri - lots of boats from Positano.  Also Amalfi and Sorrento are also worth a look.  (By boat or, I think, scheduled bus services)

 

It really is an open ended question.  Price will be affected by factors such as size of roof, ease of access, type of 'sealing' required etc etc.

I'd suggest you seek a couple (at least) of estimates from local tradesmen,  and ask around for any recommendations.

Easiest way would by taxi - but expensive!  There are executive transfer services available online.

You can go by train - the following website sells tickets, but has some useful info on trains.

There are buses that do the trip.

Our Italian estate agent recommended an English speaking Geometra.

Worth noting - anyone under about 35 speaks some English (Even when they say they don't) - they learn it at school from an early age.
