(Re Woodburners )Are CO detectors widely available and mandatory as in the UK? I reckon we all should have them. Not seen them locally.

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....

Time for a reality check here!Most people in Italy live in crappy flats and there is lots of crime and drink related vandalism.Energy is expensive and the litter dumping is disgraceful. (We've travelled the length and breadth of Italy over many years and seen for ourselves.)Few people even have a garden to have a Barbeque!Sitting in the street on a plastic chair is as close to "a house in the country" as many get.The health service is not a patch on ours. Witness the crooked teeth many youngsters sport and the sick old folk shambling around. Millions suffer from the effects of a lifetime of tobacco abuseOne wonders what parents say to curious children as they drive past the black prostitutes lingering by the side of the road in this most Catholic of countries.The overall burden of taxation is higher than in the UK AND there is a lot more tax evasion. However, if you are lucky enough to live in a rural retreat then it may seem like a different world!The weather makes a big big difference to ones perception of 'quality of life". We must take off the rose tinted specs and appreciate there are many parts of the UK that are great places to live. However the weather is a BIG factor and to us that makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE to the way we feel about a place. We are lucky enough to have a house and land. Virtually everyone we have met in italy has been pleasant and helpful .Locals we speak to are surprised that we wish to relocate to the area as they see it as a land lacking opportunity ,where the youngsters have to move hundreds of kilometres to get work.We appreciate the grass is always greener and that a few quid in the bank is a good friend to have.We also appreciate that having a choice of where to live is something that most Italians, indeed most people in the world do not have.We love Italy but always remember that the UK is a great place to live -but...shame about the weather...Ciao a tuttiBilly&Martine
Yep, an excellent program.
Is the water used for showering etc not separate from the thermal store?in the "Pandora' thermal store for example a flat plate heat exchanger is used.But I'm no expert..CiaoBilly
Interest? What's that? My current account with Banca di Napoli pays virtually no interest, indeed if you left 1000 euros in for 4 years the charges are such you would have no money left at all !! Would the Revenue allow bank charges as an allowable deduction? I doubt it!!
A small solar powered ciculation pump could be fitted using a little PV panel. I've certainly seen at least one on a roof in the UK!
