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.
Just in case anyone missed it and to provide the entertainment for our first night in the pub, here is the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest - Norway!
Welcome to our new 'pub'. Looking forward to some interesting chats, late nights, lots of wine and parties etc......No seriously where shall we start?.........Moxie?
WOW - you pub sounds better than ours! I think we will have to look into getting a pool table and dart board!(sorry just seen the new smileys and texts etc!) and a spell check!!!!!!
Thanks Andrew - yes that's what we were thinking about but from our experiences of Makro from when we had a restaurant in the UK, very often they were more expensive than our local supermarket! If you go, maybe you could price up chicken, burgers, sausages etc etc - oh and paper plates and other BBQey things.
S & JHave just called in to the repair shop in Amandola as we were trying to get our strimmer fixed. They do repair electric chain saws but they only do the mechanical side not the electrical side so it may be worth a try.He told us to go to the filling station in Comunanza (near the carpark) as they do repairs also.Hope it helps!
As far as your chain saw goes, you could try Husqvana in Amandola if it is not too far for you. It is on the trading estate near Maxi Coal/ Sibilla Cheese shop. They are very helpful and very cheap for repairs and will do a good job on a service, but the only problem is that if it needs any spare parts no one seems to carry McCullogh as the Italians prefer Stihl and dont seem to use McCullogh (we have the same problem with ours!).
I wanted to start a photo competition in the Marche forum in our previous life and have already submitted my entry. It was based on a theme 'why I love Italy' or something like that. Maybe we can get it going now????

Welcome -and thank you for your kind offer. It will be great to meet you at the BBQ (and any friends you may be able to bring along).
Looking forward to our charity event on the 21st - let's get all our invites out and see how many potential 'punters' we may get!

SanGThank you - very interesting - Do you mean a UK credit card from a UK bank? - if you do, do you have to have a UK address also?
Well we have the dancing chickens Moxie. Do we know any clowns?
