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] Hope someone uses them soon - after all the time its taken

Questions Asked
Anyone used the Harwich to Hook of Holland ferry service? I'm hoping to drive down to the holiday home later this year, and was thinking of using the 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 It might be worth doing the odd visit

You can get 'travel adaptors' in plenty of shops in the UK, including at airports and ferry ports. However, they are only rated at about 3.5 to 7 amps [depending on type] so you can't use them for stuff like kettles and some high tech UK hair dryers. The plugs also can warm up quite a lot when in useI keep a couple of adaptors for travelling to/from my holiday place in italy - but as a permanent solution I have a couple of UK '4-way' extension leads at the house, that I have cut the UK plug off of, and fitted an Italian one instead.
This site has photos of many european snakes http://www.herp.it/go to the "Index (Common)" page and look in the index for 'Snakes' - where the many European ones are listed. If you click on the name, the pictures pop up, and underneath the last picture it gives the snake's distribution
what did the skin look like? Any picture?

For me - the 'New Activity' button does not pick up all new and amended posts - but the 'mark all as read' button does 'knock them all out' - including those not recognised by the New Activity button posts So I have to check carefully to see what I would be missing by hitting the 'Mark all ...' button
If you log on to the Accor website - http://www.accorhotels.com/gb/home/index.shtml You get a great range of hotels, from below Formula 1 up to higher than Mercure, and a pretty good interactive map to sort out your options
The second link in my original posting - the link that referred to an overnight stop in Belguim should have been http://www.castellessorbiers.be/UK/default.asp, [which refers to Castel les Sorbieres, not a repeat of the Nancy hotel - http://www.accorhotels.com/gb/hotel-0407-novotel-nancy-ouest/index.shtml]l As to cost - the benefit of the Formula 1 chain is cheap and cheerful - however, as I like to make the journey a part of the holiday, [and not a mad dash to/from the channel], I prefer to pay the extra and get a good hotel with good food [both the stops I quote above easily do that]
"As Adriatica says, pop it in the freezer (it won't freeze) " Careful - if its a commercial limoncello, the alcoholic content probably won't be high enough to prevent freezing
"....but where do you get the litre of 90 percent proof alcohol? I don't see it on the shelves of the local shops" Try the larger supermarkets - thats where we got ours
"Can someone tell me that once opened, how long will it keep in the fridge?" As long as it takes you to drink it. ...................................... [It won't go 'off']
