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] Â 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 me from 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 LondonÂ

My route;-Dunkirk - Lille - ['skirting Namur'] - Luxembourg [Fill fuel tanks here] -----------Belgium's motorways [free] are always being 'mended', so there may be some [usually minor] delaysLuxembourg - Metz - Nancy ----------all free motorways ±·²¹²Ô³¦²âÌý- °ä´Ç±ô³¾²¹°ùÌý --- All free - some motorway/dual carriageway, then some basic roads to °ä´Ç±ô³¾²¹°ùÌýColmar - Mulhouse - into Germany   ----------all free motorway  Down the autobahn [free] towards Basle then turn off towards Lorrach and on into ³§·É¾±³Ù³ú±ð°ù±ô²¹²Ô»åÌý [this is my Basel Bypass, with no wait at the border] So far - NO CHARGES Through Switzerland [Gotthard Tunnel or Pass] - only cost is the Swiss Motorway Vignette - I buy this at the services on the German autobahn [at Bad Bellingham]  Petrol in Switzerland is usually cheaper than Italy - pop off of the motorway to fill up Then pay as yo go on the  ½ûÂþÌìÌà autostrada - and beware the 'Average Speed Cameras'  Â
Well ........................."You will either have to change the plugs or use an adaptor. ...........found the answer in purchasing a few of the multi outlet strips and then only one plug per three or four appliances need to be changed."Remember - if you use a multi point adaptor [with a changed plug] you shouldn't exceed 3KW load on the adaptor [assuming a 13 amp fuse].Â
 Hopefully someone will make a personal recommendation, but if they don't - If you Google "Wedding Planner Venice Italy", you'll find several options.

Well ........................"Some articles refer to a pending ban on toasters and hair dryers as well"Having had the trip switch go when my daughter and her friends all 'fired up' their hair straighteners - I'mm all for the banAnd remember - its not a ban on toasters, hairdryers etc, its a ban on high power equiment. As an example - ½ûÂþÌìÌà toaster at my place 700 watts - english toaster back home 1800 Watts. Only benefit - quicker toast
There are lawyers in the UK that deal with ½ûÂþÌìÌà Law - do a 'Google'
Whoever you use, make sure they are local to the area, so they know how the Comune works. Using an 'outsider' is a recipe for disaster I'd recommend using a Geometra
If you're talking about the ban on 'high power' appliances - good idea, bring it on.  [Already applied to Vacuum Cleaners]
I agree - if its a relatively 'simple' purchase you don't need a lawyer - but you probably do need someone at the Notary meeting who can translate what is said. The Notary looks after your interests as well as the seller'sWhen I bought my place, I took the advice of ½ûÂþÌìÌà friends and didn't use a lawyer - all went well Good Luck
