Was thinking about doing a wiki thing in the Marche Clubhouse about top tips ie if we find somewhere that may be of use to others - like where to fix strimmers or where to get a bargain on wine or a good spot to visit etc What do you think.

Great idea - go for it SI - how will the raffle work? Need to get our thinking caps on again!
Looks like the general opinion is that the top up card is the way to go - thanks everyone - I will be off to the Post Office to find out more about getting on in the morning.
:p Moxie - Do you know you are the top poster on the forum (well after Ronald that is)!!! You need to spend more time in the pub. x
Yes only playing as we got excited when we saw we could upload photos and that was the first pic we came across. Will have a look later for some more 'rougher lions' to suit us better, David!
Welcome to our new home Badger - hope to meet you soon!
Thank you everyone for your advice so far. We don't have a bank account in Italy as the fees are way too high, but we have a Banco Posta account (only €39 per year fees) which only has a Maestro card attached to it. This can't be used with Paypal unfortunately. Elicat, will have a look at Barclays, thanks for the info and will definitely find out about the top-up card option - thanks Bill for the link.
Hi Ronald - You are very welcome to be an honoury member of the Red Lion and it's good to see you here.Always loved Eurovision as a child - didn't see the serious side to it then!Yes Bring Back Italy Campaign - who is going to start that one????
Whilst you are there Ronald, is there a way to add a video inside rather than starting a new thread (as in our Welcome section)? Can't see a way of doing it yet? Thanks I know you are very busy!
Woops - just drank the last of the prosecco - will get another bottle in in time for your next visit. Do you like tonights entertainment?
Anne - we went to the Smerillo Festa the following week as well and there were some delicious cakes there too - all filled (in many different ways) with chestnut. Looking forward to this years Autumn Festivals.
