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.

Try to see if you can get some 2 metre lengths of plastic waste pipe from the local builders merchant that will fit your hoover pipe + a 90 degree bend. You may have to bodge up the end brush, but anything is possible!!!

There does seem to be mixed reviews on the product. I found a couple of forums (U.S) where it was being discussed. May be worth a read. With the warmup/cool down lag in heavyweight UFH, this can be controlled by the correct heat delta setup  and as mentioned in the above forums, they suggest using a external air sensor as well.

Had a read-up on this, but there are a few concerns. Talking to someone in Scotland who had a ASHP with  underfloor heating, but with wooden flooring in lounge/dining room.  Temperature in those rooms was low, as wooden floors act as insulation, so low heat transfer=higher running cost.

If just a holiday home, why not just get air/air inverters. Can heat or cool the house. Prices for some about E1000 each. Just need a system then for DHW.

You can order parsnip seeds from UK, but they do not like the clay soil so much. Have tried a couple of years to get them going. Swede however does very well. Mangetout is another that has problems developing.

Sent a email to the above out of interest. My question and their answer below. There must be a catch somewhere, which is probably after the 1st year finishes: I did forget to ask the charge for switching unfortunately!! "Message: Having looked at your site and sample bills, could you please give an idea of what my costs may be for one year, based on my normal supply and usage in Italy? House supply 15 Kw, 3 Phase as use a heat pump. Average annual consumption 10000Kwh." "Ok it's a very simple sum. Look at your current bill and take the "rete" charge for the line which is basically fixed each month and add that to this sum for the KWH used  10000 x 0.071  =  710.00 Euro for the year before the "Rete" Line charge.
