I saw this comment from a Californian news item............Emerging Cuisines from Emerging Markets - As the world grows smaller, the selection of cuisines grows larger and guests’ palettes are begging to try new flavours.

It will take a quite monumental event to prise us from our wonderful life and friends here. BUT,................. what/where is the future for the younger generation here ?

Being a full time resident here in Italy, we are having a month or so on holiday in another EU country (not in the UK, our country of origin). Does anybody know what 'travel' related health cover are we 'entitled' to ?

I'm sure someone here will advise (hopefully)............I have some 30/40 false acacia trees (the ones with the spikes - ouch !), they have grown in the last 5 years to some 15/20metres high.

"Mr Berlusconi told Italian television: "Life in Italy is good. The restaurants are full. It's difficult to get a seat on a plane they're so busy; holidays are all booked up."There you go then, no financial crisis here !?S

This tax malarkie is a right nuisance ! " taxed in the UK if other government pensions are also taxed" What actually, are OTHER GOVERNMENT pensions ? I want (yes want !) to pay whatever taxes we should pay, but these commercialiste seem to be a law unto themselves, if they are wrong 'we' pay all ways ? S
Mick chick...........I'll be intrigued at the responses,..does one HAVE to be resident 'somewhere' ? S
Whilst we are not in the same position as yourselves.............. I have always commented that I see little reason/benefit to be a resident here(we are by the way).....what benefits there are............minimal allowance on utilities, you save a bit on taxes when buying a property, but....... apart from the 'legal' position...........I'm not sure S
I have no idea what one should pay, I suggested €100-€150............as an answer to Lucy and Gerry's question.......... I thought that they were after a number as a guideline ? S
I just think the whole effort, cost and responsibility deserves at least €100...........and then there are bound to be hiccups ! We saw someone waiting for an arrival at 10pm on one night.............the arrivals had got lost ! €150 seems reasonable............. Good luck to those who do this ! S
If you assume 6 hrs.............4 hrs clean etc, 1 hr 'attendance' - travel, waiting, meet & greet, cost of laundry, etc, I can certainly see €100 being eaten into very quickly.............on top of this, there will be other unknown issues & costs. S
I would GUESS at about €100-€150 sounds about right, assume €50 per bedroom, the laundry, the cleaning and the meeting the greeting ? €200 sounds too much for an apartment, €100 sounds too little to get a proper job done? There may well be such a service provided by one or more of the forum users... Good Luck, S
We have everything on 6Kw..........pool pump, electric toaster, etc etc...no probs Here is an interesting link: http://michaelbluejay.com/electricity/howmuch.html May not be useful to all but play around with it ........ S
