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

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.
