Thanks for all of the info and suggestions, I find it very strange as my house hasn't moved in the last three years that I have lived in it ! I'll make enquiries at my end, Thanks again! S
I also find it MOST irritating as I too also like the Englsih commentary, ESPECIALLY as the suggest that you have a choice! I noticed the Everton/Arsenal game last weekend was in English also, but for almost all of the others one can only have Italian........grrrrr!! S
Thanks Lisa C. I'm particularly interested in your Blue Guide............(which is it? Is that it's name..........Blue Guide?)....also the vincisgrassi at Da Orsolina sounds 'ticketeeboo'.......... thanks a lot, S
Thanks for the ideas, I'll let y'all know where we went and what it was like! Badger, I'll file away your link for future reference.........grazie...... ciao ciao, S
These people ............always on holiday eh !??

There is a VERY similar tasting PRE-PACKED cheese at COAL shops(and also Eurospin) ..........our COAL normally stocks it in the refridgerated shelves. It is semi circular in shape and usually about 1 to 3 cms thick. It grates well, toasts very well (as I think it is cows cheese rather than sheeps (?)), and with a bit of raw onion it makes a fine cheese and onion sandwich! It is called: Provolone Valpadana D.O.P. Piccante YUM YUM ! S
Hi Ram (and others) Apologies, I heard some 3 months ago and sent a note on 8th August to my immediate circles of friends here, I assumed it would be common knowledge. http://www.nationwide.co.uk/current_account/flexaccount-changes.htm S
Re: "when Italy will get into the real world of other foodstuffs readily available at uninflated prices." .........I too am amazed at the cost of these things, I understand that the locals will not buy them because they don't want them, but there are times when one feels that prices are indeed inflated. But I'm not sure how much (for instance) Cheddar Cheese(!!) costs in the UK anymore? Having said that...........there are very few things that I miss/need from old blighty, S
Sadly, I think you have a significant problem here regarding the relationship with your geometra............there does seem a bit of a problem with some of these relationships here. I think new people coming to live in Italy should MAKE SURE that their geometra is likely to accommodate all of your needs. Once that relationship is broken it is very difficult to get things back on track! the very best of luck ! S
I have to agree that the site loads slower than most (if not all) of the others I access. I'm sure the powers that be will investigate........there seems a lot of (in my view) unfair negative commentary about this site at the moment. There is a LOT of useful info here, don't let the sluggishness affect your view............. S
