I brought a couple of digital radios out with me when I came here in the hope of listening to Radio 4. I know I can get the radio on my laptop but would love to be able to listen to the 'Today' programme whilst still snuggled in my bed.

Found the ACI site and the breakdown cover so will get it sorted today. Brilliant help from the forum as ever - many thanks!!
Thanks everybody - concensus is ACI so that's where I'll go. Brianm - it is an Italian car.
I lkive a bit south of you in carassai - would like to meet up. Maybe send me a private message to arrange something? hazy
I'm just back from a few days in Rome and it is €2 per person per night. We rented an apartment and gave the cash to the owner - where it went after that is anyone's guess!
I can confirm Badger's comment - I brought a Sharp Combi oven over from the UK and it works perfectly well here.
Charlotte, Thank you so much for this - I was told that you would be the person knowing all about it!!
Don't know what happened here but this is what I wanted to say - I understand France will be requiring all drivers to carry a breathalyser in the vehicle - anyone know how to get hold of cheap disposable ones?
I only got the UK programmes associated with Italian Sky - no UK landline channels which is why I cancelled my subscription, I could never find much or real interest. To get the UK BBC, ITV etc I pay €5/month to My Private Network and it works well.
I was asked by sprostini to keep the forum informed. Here is a reply i got from the pension service dealing with Brits living abroad:- The form E121 will give health cover on the same terms as a Italian National. This means that whatever a person in Italy has to pay for you would also have to pay for. However, I am unable to advise you exactly what is covered under the form E121/S1 in Italy. It is a matter for the Italian authorities to determine exactly what level of healthcare you may be entitled to under Italian legislation, I would advise you contact your local office in the area where you live for this information. If you wished to obtain treatment or medication that was not available under the Italian state scheme, you would be responsible for the costs. I can confirm that the Italian government do claim expenses from the UK for your health care in Italy. This confirms no free prescriptions for women until age 65, so I'll just have to stay healthy until then!
Dear S, Thanks very much - I will follow through with your recommendation. hazy
