After my success answering Annec's question, its my turn. However, I’m not clever enough for an ‘Italian’ question – so I’ll go for one with a ‘Greek’ connection insteadI’m a ‘sad’ man who likes numbers.
I shouldn't worry too much. I had a similar notification from hertz a couple of years ago [for speeding]. Nothing ever came in terms of a speeding fine. I think the authorities don't want the hassle of trying to fine someone in the UK - they have to do it within 6 months of the offence and send the notice in English, so I think they don't even bother once Hertz have given them a UK address.
"If anyone knows of cheap Durham to Edinburgh (and vice versa) train fares I would be interested in those please."Ticket Tips
Book in advance using one of the sites like 'raileasy' or 'the trainline'
Remember some times for travelling are cheaper than others - the ticket websites allow you to look at options
Check out the cost of two singles against a return - its often cheaper
Look at splitting the single ticket into two trips [Durham to X and X to Edinburgh] - This again is often cheaper, and is totally acceptable as long as the train stops at X
My italian is also very basic, but assuming you are resident in Italy, and the fine is for an offence in the last 6 months, you pay using only one of the two forms - they appear to be for different types of Notification [or so Babelfish says]. Over six months, I beleive it lapses. I'd take both to the Post Office and ask them which you use to pay it there and then If you are UK resident - I beleive that the paperwork should be supplied in English to be valid - so you could probably ignore it, or write back in English asking for a translation.
"Perhaps cutting down on the electricity we use and using low power appliances is the long term answer?" What are you suggesting? - My place already runs on 3kW max What is probably required is nuclear power plants [but of course, nowhere near my house]
" ........ her Italian bought TV didn't work properly in the UK." I think that all you have to do is go into the main menu for the TV and reset it to 'UK' from 'Italy' - not sure about the digibox - but you can buy a UK one for under £20

Hope this helps
"Has anybody used TRI ISO SUPER 10 and does it really work?" Never used it, but this may be informative;- http://www.just-insulation.com/actis-triso-super-10-multi-foil-insulation.html Seems OK for a pitched roof - not sure about on walls though

For info [and look at the bit on half price tickets] Trains – Glasgow to the airport http://www.glasgowprestwick.com/to-and-from-prestwick/train-connections/default.html

Around my place [Lake Orta in the north], the supermarkets don't seem to do 'Cash Back', but ever one seems to have an ATM machine

You may have problems renewing online, if;-
Good luck
Gala - in your recipe, did you mean "Tomato Puree" - or "canned tomatoes/passata"? I thought puree might be a rather too strong flavour Found this on the 'Splutterer's website' http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/vegeterian-recipes/bread-tomato-soup-pappa-al-pomodoro
