Hi all, does anyone know if we take a digital TV from the UK to Italy if it will work OK there? Many thanks in advance.Toni

Questions Asked
We have finally found a piece of land in Campania that we plan on buying for €53,000.00. It is classed as agricolo E/2.
Some of you may remember our posts a few months ago about driving down to our holiday home in Santa Marina via the swiss mountain passes.
We are driving down to Italy later on in the year and wondered if anyone can recommend somewhere decent to stay (that includes breakfast) between Lucern and Sarnen in Switzerland.
Next year when we go to our house in Southern Italy we plan on driving down instead of flying.
We plan on driving to Italy next year and wondered if anybody has a left hand drive small 4x4 for sale, which is ideally UK registered.
I have been told that my grandfather was an Italian prisoner of war in England during the second world war. He met my grandmother and wanted her to go to Italy with him to live, but for some reason she wouldn't go.
Have often seen the ribbon decorations on the wedding cars in Italy and wonder how they are made. Have done a search on google, but not found how to make them.
We have been trying to top up our Italian mobile via the wind site the last few days. Each time we put in the amount required and the cell phone number as requested, but it will not go through to the next page.
Just wondering if anyone has seen turtles while they have been in Italy. If so, in which area did they see them and was it at a wildlife park, or somewhere more like in their natural habitat.

.....................bellissima!!!
Buon ferragosto anche te Gala Placidia!
............we read on an Economy Car Hire email the other day that Ryanair charge an £80 penalty if you arrive at the airport without checking in online, when you should have done. This apparently covers the cost of reissuing a boarding pass. Can they think of any more money making schemes??
Blue & Mon - We bought ours from the Swiss Travel Centre. We had the same email yesterday as Alan had. If I remember correctly it was a bit misleading as to whether or not there would be a delivery charge until you got through to the last page. Hope this helps.
Blue & Mon - £29 was the full online price when we got ours that way a few weeks ago. We paid by credit card so no extra fees for that or delivery.
Good news! The grimsel and furka passes opened last Saturday. The earliest in the last ten years. It looks like we have picked the right year to drive after all. Can't wait now!
We use Robertson McIssac - http://www.rmib.co.uk/foreign_home.html Admittedly we haven't had our renewal through yet, but we have always found them very reasonable in the past and they do earthquake cover too.
......................have the same gremlins as you Badger.
...........................and enjoyed are Mid August Lunch (funny) and Quiet Chaos (sad). This is an interesting post and we will have to put some of the other suggestions in our DVD rental watch list.
Thanks Alan h. We have also found the second one in Italian in the past. See http://www.tcs.ch/main/it/home/verkehrsinfo/paesse_tunnels.html We can understand this one a bit better than the German one. Have also found a few webcams that we will be keeping our eye on nearer the time. Apparently the snow hasn't been as plentiful so far this year - unlike last year. So we are keeping our fingers crossed that it will continue that way. Many thanks John & Toni
