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

".......... Therefore it cannot be illegal for an Italian resident to have a UK licence with an out of date address. What is the offence? Who can prosecute it? ....." The original offence is in the UK - where your driving licence has to have your current address on it [I've just changed mine, when I moved in the UK] I believe that the licence is not 'valid' with an out of date address - so if you were unlucky enough to have a [serious] accident in Italy and they checked with the UK [computers are a wonderful thing], you could be in deep 'doo doo'
It might help if you said what types of food you are looking to get.

As a non-football fan [- I used to prefer Rugby Union until it got too professional, but these days I do enjoy the speed of play in Rugby League] I would like to say how blown away I was by the speed and accuracy of the Spanish passing game. Italy did little wrong [to my untutored eye], indeed they played some good football [when they got the ball], and they well deserved to be in the Final, but Spain were fantastic, in a league of their own If only British football could be half as good
Brother in Law was in France last week - I asked him to get me a kit as we're off to Italy this week - no kits to be had in Chemists - none expected for at least a couple of weeks. So he bought some for me on the Ferry on way back £5.99, just to be on safe side - although they shouldn't be imposing it for a while [but who trusts the French police that much?]

"Why camp when you can get a cheap hotel like Premiere Classe or F1? The time spent farting about with erecting the tent and checking out the ablution facilities is not worth it. We love camping but it's not the best for a speedy trip south." I have to agree - if you want a cheap overnight stay, that is 'quick and easy' - use the PC or F1 'hotels' - the hassle of faffing about with the tent isn't worth it for an overnight stop. Different matter if its a leisurely drive down with a couple of days camping here and there.
Me - "Double glazed doors/windows in the UK are not toughened glass - 'cos they are are much less likely to shatter than a single glazed pane. " Bunterboy - "I fell off a stool and put my boot through my recently purchased double glazed french door" Won't ask what he was doing on the stool! And it must have been some boot!!
If I remember correctly - in the UK, glazed door panels should be toughened to prevent injury - but they are single glazed. Double glazed doors/windows in the UK are not toughened glass - 'cos they are are much less likely to shatter than a single glazed pane. So I think your carpenter is correct, and toughened glass in double glazing is not 'normal practice', and is IMHO unnecessary
