Sadly, it looks like some people will again be struggling to get here and/or go back for the bank holiday weekend coming up next week, hopefully a lot of rescheduling can be undertaken? As a point of interest, the following website shows the lack

I don't know if it is me (or my computer !) but .....................every now and then, it is like this forum goes to sleep. I was only thinking the other week how fantastically useful the forum is for getting and donating information, research,

Prior to buying our little bit of Italy, I insisted on having a certificate of habitation fully signed and sealed. Does this have to be renewed at any point or is it only if I sell sometime in the future? S

I don't dislike the lizards that bask in the sun and race around (and seem to bite each others tails?) the garden and rockery that we have.................but, this year we seem to have LOADS more than previ

Does anyone know the tree here in Italy called ............(I think!)...............'amoro'............OR 'umbrello'? We have one tree that sprouts like a 'good-un', there are others around here in Le Marche, but every year they are SEV

Apologies for the nature of this subject ! Having a great time here in Le Marche, but one thing that has me stumped is what I can only imagine is some sort of 'poop' (for want of a better word). VERY regularly(maybe weekly), we can be sitting on t

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
