Just wondering how feasible it is to buy a container and fill it with stuff in the UK and ship it out to Puglia? I rather thought I could use it as a workshop / store afterwards...but is it a runner??

I wondered if anyone could explain how to calculate the car tax in Italy, I know it is to do with horse power etc but is there a useful website like our own DVL  site which can allow one to find out how much tax is paid  on say....

Thans Mike, I tested with my tester thingy before it got stolen! (Barely, 20 yds from my front door and two big dogs obviously sleeping on the job!)

How do stored pellets produce CO? Or is it to do with blocking air vents for the boiler Steve? Ciao Billy

Dig a deeper well Sabina , (ours is 130m ) and install rainwater recovery systems , we got 3 large concrete butts for free as they are unfashionable in our neck of the woods.

This October we did Hull - Rotterdam then stopped off in Wurzburg at the Pelikan Motel very cheap and worth it just for the Wurzburger beer- among the best I've quaffed. Then on to Trento -Best Western hotel via Austria , next San Marino for a gander before trundling our heavily over loaded combo to Latiano (with a scary  blow-out en route to Puglia!) Enjoy the drive and can I just boast that our beloved Doblo Jtd and heavy trailer returned 48mpg over the 1800 miles from St andrews!! Ideal car for a Scotsman my wife reckons.
