I know this problem has been mentioned in an earlier post, but it has just reared its ugly head again. When we changed the registration of the Citroen from UK to ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ, despite there being a tow bar fitted, it was not noted on the registration.

Anyone know how to ask for the skin to be left on a pork roast, so that you can get the crackling?? Just had a beautiful loin roast from the butcher, but they cut all the skin off before it is on display, so no nice crunchy bits when roasted.

For those of you, who walk dogs around the San Ruffino tracks. There is an ½ûÂþÌìÌà Woman who sometimes has been seen there with an Alsatian, quite often not on a lead.

RonaldWhat is happening with this site as regard to the connection speed etc. I can usually go for a coffee and cigarette before anything loads.

Stalk & clean 1lb of sloes, prick all over with a darning needle and put in a bottling jar. Add 3-4oz of granulated sugar + a few drops of almond essence or a little Noyeau liqueur.

Anyone have a Canon printer that uses the BCI 24C colour cartridges? I have 5 unused compatible cartridges, as now have a Epson printer. Free to a good home, as against throwing them in the bin!!

Is there a function so that we can insert a PDF or Word document into a post? I have some information for the Energy certificate topic, but cannot see any way to insert it without copying and pasting( PDF of about 7 pages).

The last few weeks, have been walking the dog past the above park area in the evenings. The picnic/viewing area is virtually overgrown, with only the first few metres of grass having been cut, empty plastic bottles strewn around the bins etc.

Be careful of using new beams, as they only appear to be seasoned for 1 year. We checked with the wood yard and they confirmed this as demand was high. Result has been large cracks in the beams as they are still drying out. They are chestnut.

Ok PatH. Our first experiences, as we initially chose non ½ûÂþÌìÌà operated. English operated here: B&B 1. Owners constantly having a domestic at night, as always under the influence. Apartment 2: Dog cr*p everywhere you walked outside. Apartment 3: Questioned about your life history, where you were going, how much was your house costing, as husband could give a better price for work. After the above: ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ: Pensione: After the earlier experiences, we stayed in a family run pensione. Cheaper in the first instance, with a nice restaurant. We tried to book it when we had to come and sign the house papers, but they were closed for holidays. They said no problem, as we know you, we will give you a key and there will be someone there to make breakfast and clean the room. 3 star Hotel: large room, excellent restaurant and again nothing too much trouble. If you come to Italy, then why not support the ½ûÂþÌìÌà business? I know we didn't in our early visits, but soon changed our attitude after the above

Voltage is no problem in either case. It is the wattage that you need to be looking at on the unit. If it draws up to say 2500w and you only have the minimum 3000w + 10%, then you would have to be carefull what else you operate at the same time as that unit is working

Should be no problem to bring one from the the UK, just change the plug to an ½ûÂþÌìÌà one. Make sure you have a high enough power supply to the house though, as the rating is probably higher than the normal for here.

Perhaps Rickardo is right. I compared a 3 star hotel locally, where the rate was E65 per night, with most rooms like small appartments. They obviously have much higher costs, insurance, lighting, heating, cleaners etc. Yet, still less than many B&B's.

This is on the MSE UK site with reference to Goldcar. Although it says Spain, there is also a reference to Pisa airport on the second page.

Thanks Sagraiasolar. There are so many aircon companies now jumping on the ASHP bandwagon, that it always preferrable to see customer feedback. Having hundreds of engineers does not mean they are good in the ASHP market, for design etc.

You could also look on the bright side, as the £ is getting stronger, then you are paying 20% less for the same vehicle on the conversion rate, against a year or so ago.
