The last time I sold a car in the UK to a private individual who was unknown to me, I insisted on being paid with a bankers draft instead of a personal cheque.

I started a topic called Community Spirit. It has been closed & I am not very surprised. It had lost direction, or at least any direction in which I might had guessed it to go. It became self-indulgent & very, very tedious.

As you know I have not been a member of this forum for very long. I have visited other forums, as you do, and noticed that on other forums there appears to be more of a "Community". Is this forum soley for the publishing and giving of imformation

or, 101 things to do with a bidet. This is a thread I have unapologetically stolen from another web site. It's potentially too good for them to not share so.... I swagged it.

I may have mentioned that my wife and I are wanting "to do" Naples this year.  Any help on where best to visit and where not to bother with would be helpful. I am trying to find as much info before we go and do some research on the the place.

I've always been interested in the Italian use of hand gestures. To be able to say so much with a movement of the hand. I know there are many, but do they all mean the same thing in each area of Italy?

 Mrs Mustard and I have decamped to London for a spell. We are sitting in our garden enjoying the bird song and a refreshing pot of Nilgiri. So much nicer in the bone china. Thought we could avoid the excessive heat in Italy and escape to our London home. Unfortunately, it's too hot to sleep here too! One good thing though, we can leave the windows wide open and be sure of no dratted mosquitoes. 6.30 and it is 29 degrees. Good Lord!

 Sorry to be such a bother but...I cannot find it. I may have  told you I'm no computer whizz so, I may be pressing all the wrong things and looking in all the wrong places. Help please. Thank you

No Sprostoni, down grading is what I meant. Mrs Mustard recently went to Ikea and had a road-to-Damascus experience. She has ordered a load of self-destruct orange boxes with unpronouncable Swedish names like Terp, Swarg & Blott. She now insists that my grandfather's Hepplewhite & Sheraton must go, along with my comfy old deep-buttoned leather armchair and settee, inlaid mahogany and amboyna wood card table.....even the antique Persian rug. Where will the dog sleep?! With me in the dog-house I suspect..

Sorry, but where is it and how do I access it? Old duffer shuffles off a with reddening face!

I have been waiting patiently and I didn't realise it took so long to set up an area to sell on. Does it involve a lot of work? I have no idea about setting up these things. Just an old duffer. Lets hope it works as time moves on...

Hello again. My wife and I are now down grading and moving to a smaller place.... We have things we need to sell. How can this be done? Can I put up a list? Or should I wait for people to contact me through private messaging? Wouldn't like to break the rules.
