I think the groups now exist [at least - when I go to the 'make a new post' section, there they are, in the "Audience" section] Hope someone uses them soon - after all the time its taken

Anyone used the Harwich to Hook of Holland ferry service? I'm hoping to drive down to the holiday home later this year, and was thinking of using the service.

By chance I went on the old Forum yesterday - found that someone had PM'ed mefrom that forum only a few days ago. I hadn't got any notification of a PM, but obviously the old Forum PM system still works It might be worth doing the odd visit

I can't beleive that its 17+ hours since the last post - or has my PC taken over and hidden everything?

There is an interesting article in today's G2 section of the Guardian newspaper by a woman who moved to Italy, founded a successful business, and has now moved back to the UK [but still has the business] because she missed London

How easy was it to get the COVID19 test in Italy? Also, what type of test was it? (PCR or Lateral Flow), and what is the cost?

Glad to see that the 5 day quarantine requirement for UK citizens who are double jabbed will stop on Tuesday - just get a COVID19 test within 48 hours of arrival.

Hopefully we'll get there this year.

Get a new passport in your maiden name? ( I think that's allowable, but not sure)

As long as you aren't in a hurry - I gather there are big delays issuing passports at present.

Are they still requiring uk residents to quarantine on entry to Italy?

Thank for the information.

One question - the reference to vaccine bar codes, is this on the new NHS Covid Pass, or is it on something else?

(Just had message from NHS that the Covid Pass is now available, both electronic and paper version)

I think it's fair to say that each Comune has its own wY of dealing with bills.

I now use, as I say above, the Bank route. Before that I used the IBAN BIC way - both have their faults. ---

My bank closed my branch and transferred me to a nearby branch, but forgot to pay the F24s, in the reorganisation process, until reminded, after the due date

When I used BIC IBAN route,I was contacted 6 years later, saying I hadn't paid one bill. They had lost my email, but luckily I had a copy to send them.

So keep good records of what you do.

My Comune sends the F24s to me for paying bills - but I have to email the signed F24s to my bank for payment to be made.

The Comune does have an online bill payment site, but at present 'foreigners ' can't use it - but they are working on how to let us do it.

So, in essence, my advice is talk to the Comune, as every Comune seems to have different processes in place.
