I thought it might help people not break the law [or get caught breaking it] to some info on speed cameras they might come across in driving down to Italy. [This really applies to people like me who don’t have a sat-nav that tells them all the in

Look through this lot - there are a few bread machine recipes in here;- http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipes/tag-5702/italian-bread-recipes.aspx
They look dead - no movement, but the people below do move. They appeared yesterday afternoon, but I think there was a camera change as what you can see of the 'view' appears different from the nice view of the ski slope. This camera seems to be pointing down onto the ground below it. I suppose the 'insects' got into the housing last autumn and have died out over winter - but as usual, I could be wrong
They may switch to another camera if they have one - so if all you see is snow, thats what they've done
Visit the HMRC website - unless things have changed, there is a 'tax category' for people who visit friends/ family regularly in the UK [not even owning property] - its all about having 'ties' with the UK - If you fall into that category, they'll tax you [what they tax? - I'm not sure. visit the website] EDIT Just visited website - clear as mud - so talk to a UK tax expert
I know the AA used to do it - you need to speak to them to check whats available these days - try 0800 316 2456
If you do a search on ICI you should find plenty of info However, the easiest way is to go to your Comune and ask them how much it should be is - it worked for us, but may depend on which Comune you live in

".... and Italian badger beauty brushes are considered the best! ..." Not if you're a badger!
Cheapest option is definitely Dover Dunkirk from where you are We travel from Northampton, so I think that your biggest problem will be avoiding the M1 & M25 morning rush hours - so it's either an early start - about 5 am at the latest, or a later one about 8.30am onwards. I'd definitely consider a late crossing with the overnight near Dunkirk as your starter.
If in doubt - ask the Comune
