I thought I would start a new thread on this for easy access.

Anyone have any idea on pricing for an external chimney from a pellet stove to reach above the roof line on the 2nd floor of a house. I am posting on behalf of a friend who is not well enough to do her own research, so forgive me for being vague.

I have a very good friend who is being harassed by a previous partner by phone.I remember in the UK that British Telecom had steps they could take to prevent nuisance calls of this nature.

Following on from another thead, what will happen to the ever increasingly aged farming communities, now that their children no longer want to work on the land?

So now being in possession of our permanent residency, apart from health care issues (and the rather nice baseball hat from the Sindico) what other advantages can we expect ?.

An Aesops fables moment (OK I know that was grapes....) I went down to check on our  large cherry tree, bent over with the weight of cherries this year and surprised two large adult foxes doing the same thing.

And so you did Alan, now that I have reread your post, apologies for suggesting that you didnt! or wouldnt!.Obviously I am over excited by lotans post and cannot see the wood from the trees.

Just a question for Alan, why should you not pay your speeding fine?, we did, we live in Italy and Robert was rushing our cat to the emergencey vet on New Years day, why should you be exempt from this. ? It really doesnt help when visitors think its clever to evade the law.

Possibly your use of language, does not add to a reasonable debate, doubt that anyone would welcome being called a "moron"....shame really, and the use of the word "inflame" as in a debate is indicative that your intention is meant to upset? And your assumption that Brits cannot "hack it" is off line, many of the people who have taken the trouble to reply to you have been here rather longer than your assumed 3 yrs........

Totally agree with you re the moaning and groaning , is it a British failing?.Hope your post generates an interesting debate. But am sorry that such a high percentage return to the UK, Italy isnt for everyone, and as you are probably aware from past posts on the subject the essence is in the planning.We have lived here for 5 years now and would never want to return.

Thanks for posting the link Keith, I put it on fb. So only 18% think its OK now. A more realistic view of what ½ûÂþÌìÌÃs think, and representative of hopefully the way in which animal welfare is moving ahead in this country.....I always said they were lousy shots!

Saw it on fb Penny, shocking and disgusting.

Answer to: Tomato Soup

Think your homemade in brackets says it all Al, very few soups to be found in supermarkets around here in Marche, people tend to make their own, and whilst Heinz baked beans might make people long for comfort food the thought of Heinz tomato soup probably sets them running for the stock pot!....biased I know just have awful memories of having it for lunch as a child ....every Saturday.....boh!....for years!
