I have often advocated swinging up through Belgium when travelling from UK to Italy, on the grounds of the cheap petrol in Luxembourg and toll free motorways. I did this route again a couple of weeks ago, but found the roadworks on the Dunkirk-Lil

 I thought it might help people not break the law [or get caught breaking it] to some info on speed cameras they might come across in driving down to Italy. [This really applies to people like me who don’t have a sat-nav that tells them all the in

I shouldn't worry too much. I had a similar notification from hertz a couple of years ago [for speeding]. Nothing ever came in terms of a speeding fine. I think the authorities don't want the hassle of trying to fine someone in the UK - they have to do it within 6 months of the offence and send the notice in English, so I think they don't even bother once Hertz have given them a UK address.Â

"Has anybody used TRI ISO SUPER 10 and does it really work?" Never used it, but this may be informative;-  Seems OK for a pitched roof - not sure about on walls though
My italian is also very basic, but assuming you are resident in Italy, and the fine is for an offence in the last 6 months, you pay using only one of the two forms - they appear to be for different types of Notification [or so Babelfish says]. Over six months, I beleive it lapses. I'd take both to the Post Office and ask them which you use to pay it there and then  If you are UK resident - I beleive that the paperwork should be supplied in English to be valid - so you could probably ignore it, or write back in English asking for a translation.

"Perhaps cutting down on the electricity we use and using low power appliances is the long term answer?" Â What are you suggesting? - My place already runs on 3kW max What is probably required is nuclear power plants [but of course, nowhere near my house]
Around my place [Lake Orta in the north], the supermarkets don't seem to do 'Cash Back', but ever one seems to have an ATM machine
" ........ her ½ûÂþÌìÌà bought TV didn't work properly in the UK." I think that all you have to do is go into the main menu for the TV and reset it to 'UK' from 'Italy' - not sure about the digibox - but you can buy a UK one for under £20
You may have problems renewing online, if;-
Good luck
Gala - in your recipe, did you mean "Tomato Puree" - or "canned tomatoes/passata"? I thought puree might be a rather too strong flavour  Found this on the 'Splutterer's website'Â
