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

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

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

[It loaded before I could put any text in it!] We're soon to get a dog.  Eventually we intend to drive down with it to Italy for longish holidays.  Normally, when driving down, we go through Switzerland Has anyone driven through Switzerland with a dog? If so -  are there any special requirements/pitfalls/tips for getting through Switzerland? [I know all about pet passports, rabies Jabs etc etc, so would appreciate details of first hand experiences] Many thanks,

"............. But there's also an untapped area where water springs up from the ground and lies in a big puddle ..........." It could just be a leaking water pipe

You could try 'dowsing' - most people can do it to some extent or another  [When I was working, i had used it a few times to trace drains [with water flowing in them] see;-  http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=dowsing+rods&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=8915508873&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=s&hvrand=9877614261304878370&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_9jdopjrqu2_b

Have now watched the programme -  initial thought was that its message was depressing, but not unexpected.

"......... the added benefit of electro magnetic radiation fields which can be damaging to health ........" A common urban myth - otherwise electric train drivers would all be dead early as they spend all their working lives about 10 feet below 25kV power lines. EMF/EMI 'forces' from Power lines are [measured at ground level] much lower than the output from many houshold appliances And I would hate to see power lines crossing the countryside [but don't know what the economical alternatives are]
