Questions Asked

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.

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.

Tut tut Badger Fags are a real no no in the morning! Coffee not much better for you either!!  (Sound like your mother!!) Ham, cheese rolls we have lunchtime with salad hence I don't like it for breakfast but each to his own!

Haven't stayed in a hotel in Bournemouth for about 20 years so don't know what they serve. So what do you have for breakfast Badger?

I always look at TA as you usually get varied opinions about a place that doesn't show on a hotel's website.  I don't take it as a recommendation but get the gist of a place. What is wrong with bacon and egg for breakfast?  I really enjoy it when on holiday as we don't have it at home and it has been served in all the hotels we have stayed in Italy.

I just put it in google and clicked through ok and went on to blogs and markets and all worked.  Maybe they are having intermittent problems with their server?

Very interesting to read about it.  Sadly there must be lots of villages that are abandoned due to the lack of local jobs.  Would be nice to see someone turn it into a holiday village and create work for the locals.

I think it's just applicable in the main tourist cities.  Last year we paid it in Florence E4 per night.  According to where you are staying its between E1 and E5.  This year we stayed in Lucca and didn't pay any.  When you are booking a hotel they will tell you what the rate is.

Well done Angie for interesting subject!  Whether you are in Italy or Timbuktoo (?) this is a very important subject at present and I'm sure everyone has tips that can be passed on and be of benefit to others.
