Does anyone know how Italy is for asthma. Having only been couple of weeks at a time just wondering for people there long term how they find it compared to UK. Also how they cope for treatment. Thanks

I have just read the youth unemployement figures - very worrying! 40.5% in Italy (20.7% in UK) which will only lead to more youngsters leaving the country to find work. Ireland lost 400,000 15-24 year olds in last 3 years.
Did anyone see the programme on BBC4 last night - Good Italy Bad Italy - very interesting if not depressing.
I remeber a few weeks back someone said they couldn't have an electric kettle on at the same time as water heater. Is this something that only happens in rural areas or is it everywhere?
I am appealing for help please. My great nephew 8 year old Jude is now really disabled with Muscular Dystrophy. He is a really happy little boy but due to his deterioration finding things to keep him busy is becoming more difficult.
I just booked 2 seats Bournemouth to Pisa return for £28 all in. I just love Mr O'Leary. x
Thought it might be interesting to know why people chose the area they now live in. Whether its because you have family there, just like the area etc.
We havent visited Rome yet so have decided that's where our next visit will take us!

You are probably best to put a link to it then anyone who may be interested can see it first.
I take vitamin B compound otherwise the pesky things have me for dinner. Apparantly after taking it for a couple of weeks it gives off an odour through your sweat that the flies don't like. Thankfully humans can't smell it!
You are on the wrong site for tracing your ancestry. You need Italian Genealogy sites and they will advise you how to go about tracing. I did it myself several years ago. Good luck!
Very nice to see that the young people were out in force to see Pope Francis just as they are the overwhelming majority of people for the Sunday Mass. Appears to be a decent person and I wish him well.
I have for a long time......
and we complain about regulations in the UK... Is it that installer/plumber whatever are not regulated like the UK is?
well done Angie - glad you're not wasting it on trivialities!!
Sorry Flip don't read the Express! I think if people have spent their working life (or at least most of it) in the UK and want to retire to someone warmer or anywhere else for that matter then they should be able to benefit the same as folk who stay in the UK. I have no problem with people who come here from anywhere so long as they work and keep themselves. They should be sponsored and only allowed in if they have a job to go to. Unfortunately a lot just come here and live on benefits - which they, or their families have never paid in to. Could you or I go to Italy, Poland, Pakistan and be given accommodation and money to live on? No, I don't think so. So Flip if you worked in the Uk for most of your life and you are entitled to the WFA you claim it sweetie and if you don't need the money share it between Angie and me as we will put it to good use! xx
Rosietat Do you mean that the Italian pension is E1,000 per month?
It was on moneybox ages ago and I have since read about it referring to the people who have moved to Spain (in particular) that if they were in receipt of the WFA before they left the UK then they were still entitled to receive it even though they lived in Spain (where for most they would not need it) but if you moved to eg Canada (which gets really freezing) you would not be entitled to it. I further understand that the EU classed it unfair for people who moved before the age of 60. I do not know if it only applies to people who are in receipt of State Pension from UK. If you go on the Government Pensions website I think there is a form that you can fill in. I can understand Flip flipping his lid (lol) but I reckon we must be an extremely rich country and can afford it!! Yes, foreign workers come here and get benefits to send to their home country for their kids (probably half of them are not even theirs) We let the scum of the world in here and give them accommodation in front of english people (can't say white as that would be racist) We pay child benefits to well off people. This just having changed to if a couple each earn less than £50,000 a year then they get the benefit! So £100,000 per year and they can't f... manage on that - I feel really sorry for them. A woman emailed Jeremy Vine show on Monday to say her and her husband are accountants and earn approx £60,000 EACH a year and they will lose the benefit and she says they only manage 'to get by'. If you can get it then good luck and claim it as I said before this country must be absolutely rolling in money.
