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?

So, info I had received seems to be flawed. The wife will be so happy. Thank you one and all.
Thank you for your welcome. Hope you had a very jolly time with your family. Looking forward also sharing some foodie ideas.
Yes, it is frightening being in an earthquake. Very unsettling. Hope all is well for you all.
My wife and I know only too well that you have to be careful that the prices quoted in these kitchen companies do not lull you into believing that they represent some pro rata price per metre or per cabinet. I know of at least one company that quotes excellent prices across their whole range but the price relates only to the standard example. Any deviation from that is regarded as a "Special Order", and attracts a much higher price. Even if it's due to the addition or 1 or 2 cabinets , or even a half metre of length. We spent at least 2 hours in one of these places working out a design only to be given a huge price nowhere near that suggested by the display price. The design 30% bigger & the price quoted was 150% more!
Thank you Raggio. We were led to believe that cuttings were a hit and miss affair. We had of course looked on the web for information, but you can't beat someones actual experience. That's what great about theses forums.
Hello Angie and Robert, One of my favourites is E.M Forester - A Room with a View and recently Frances May - Under the Tuscan Sun & The Sweet Life in Italy. Summers Lease by John Mortimer is also a good read. I hope this is helpful.
looks like a brilliant one. Thank you.
Sorry Dylano, my wife just re-read your post back to me and I may have taken what you said the wrong way. Thank you for your advice
I think you''ll find that most things are easily "googled"
Yes, Thanks Ram. I am interested and would be grateful if you could. I wonder why Naples has become the" King" of hand gestures? I have a visit booked for Naples with my wife and will probably bring it forward to do more research.
