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

I did a quick google along the lines of "UK Computer delivery italy" and found things such as http://www.powerc.com/uk/gp/pc%20delivery%20to%20europe/1/pg/about.eu-custom-pc who seem to deliver - [there were others - this is just an example]
According to http://www.romebuddy.com/givesadvice/computers4.html “Apple Macintosh dealers often tend to be small, friendly, caring, family affairs. FBM in Via Flaminia [in Rome] certainly is – That’s where I bought my Mac, and a major factor in buying a Mac and buying it from FBM was because they were able to supply it to me with the English Operating System pre-installed. They also keep English versions of most popular Mac applications in stock, and they're sales people also speak good English, so communication isn't a problem. The other advantage of this store is that it's in central Rome, so you won't have to travel miles to get to it.”

"The land could do with being cleared / levelled a bit around the house." Do you need permission from your Commune to carry out such landscaping?
Calais - up to Dunkirk, - Lille into Belgium- on to Luxembourg [fill up with cheap petrol] - on past Metz - Nancy and on to Mulhouse. All toll free, and not much difference in mileage. All motorway/dual carriageway, apart from about 40 minutes before Mulhouse. Then on through Switzerland - get the motorway vignette from http://www.travel-swiss.co.uk/passes-motorway-vignette/vignette/purchasing-motorway-vignette.html Costs about £30, but no other charges to pay in Switzerland, [inc tunnels!], until you hit the Italian autostrada.
"Does anyone know where I can buy the rubber feet? I can buy in UK or in Italy." An inexpensive solution would be to put a couple of rubber washers [those used for taps] under each 'foot' and screw through them for the fixing
According to Waitrose http://www.waitrose.com/recipe/Apricot_Jam.aspx Ordinary Granulated sugar is OK
You could buy online. I did a quick check – these http://www.spicesofindia.co.uk/ seem to charge £20 for delivery to Italy These - http://www.theasiancookshop.co.uk/about-us--delivery-info-2-w.asp charge about £25 In Arezzo, try;- Vivi Market, Via Crispi, 58/c - Arezzo Described as - International supermarket with spices and staples for Chinese, Thai, Indian, and Mexican cuisine. Tel/Fax:(0575) 22376 To find it, - From the station, head across the road and straight up V. Guida Monaco to the huge roundabout, Piazza Guida Monaco. Turn hard right at the roundabout. It starts out as Via Roma and turns into Via F. Crispi. It's about 400-500 metres along. Hope this helps
Colonel You're not the only one who has problems - there seems to be a glitch somewhere May I suggest you PM Valentiina and Ronald - if enough do this, perhaps they'll get it fixed [Any suggestion that this is a plot by 'them' to stop this working is pure unfounded speculation]
