Questions Asked

Can anyone tell us if they have any experience of applying for an Italian credit card (or even if it is possible at all). We want to be able to purchase things on Ebay and our Paypal account needs to be linked to a credit card.Thank you.

Do you think it would be possible to set up a 'help group' where we could post our queries and get help and answers?

Just been thinking about childrens tickets - I don't think €5 is unreasonable after all kids can very often eat more than adults!!!Also we think they should get 5 tickets like at the Ascoli festa - 2 x meaty things, 1 x salad bar, 1 x slice pizza (if we are doing that  - or 3 meaty things or a baked potato????) and 1 x drink ticket.  What do you think?

Damiano,Just bought some 'Compo Score 25 EC Fungicide Polivalente' from the consortium on the corner near the new roundabout in Comunanza for the peach leaf curl. It costs €9 and comes in a 20ml bottle which you dilute and spray on the leaves.Hope this helps.Sarah and MarkPS Did you ever get to the concert in Ancona - have seen your listing - quite fancy the AC-DC tribute band!

We originally had a bank account with BNL and got charged a huge amount each month so someone mentioned BP acount. The fee is per yer no matter how many transfers/ bills paid out. We have a Barclays Euro account in the UK and transfer money through that. Barclays charge £15 per transfer (3-4 days) or £20 express (1-2 days), so if you don't do it very often, its not too bad. They also issue a Euro cheque book, which you can use to py into your BancoPosta account. There is no fee for this, but you do need to plan ahead as it can take up to 3 weeks to clear. Hope this helps.

Sarah who works at Cicerone, the publishers of the book have very kindly donated a copy for our fundraising BBQ on the 21st June. She will post it as soon as I put my order in for the books so if anyone else wants one, could they let me know as soon as possible - we are getting a 25% discount of the publishing price as well as free delivery to Italy!
