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.

I have heard that there is a class action too, but think it is a losing battle. The company that is installing these projects has more money to play with than a few B&b's and Agritourismos against them.

Interesting, pity you cannot get the latest info unless you subscribe. Seems like the commercial sites are popping up all over the place!! Will not be a good investment though if the feed in tarrif keeps being reduced.

Interesting article from Reuters.

Noticed in an old thread, that you were using Inverters for heating and cooling, so the BTA tarrif may be good or you.

Seems that this has now been passed by the Senate. The extension of benefits until December 31, 2011, Stability in the Law, was passed by the House and the Senate on November 19 in the final 7 December 2010 and is now awaiting publication in the Official Gazette.

I questioned the point regarding inverter air/air heating and cooling with an inverter unit. It appears that you can also use this cheap rate supply for this type of unit as well. Yes, BTA can be used both single (NB Nordic Inverter is single phase) or 3 phase, when you request the contatore you have to specify if single or three phase, if you choose three phase, then the inverter will be connected only to one phase (but consider that you have to moltiply by 3 the value of electr. load to calculate the safety limit for other electric appl)

We have had quotes from both companies earlier this year. The Italsure one was quite a lot more expensive, as the insurer included subsidence cover, which could not be removed. Intasure, gave a very good quote, which convinced us to move from the ½ûÂþÌìÌà insurer as soon as we could. Just a quick summary of the cover: Buildings: £1 million cover  cost £127.08 Liability: £5 million cover  included no extra Accidental Damage £29.70 I have omitted the contents insurance and the taxes, but whichever way I looked at it, it was far better cover than the ½ûÂþÌìÌà company could give, and included the earthquake cover, which they were astounded at it being so cheap as a part of the policy. Not to run Italsure down, we have both cars insured through them for over 3 years now.

The ½ûÂþÌìÌà Government will probably and hopefully eventually fork out. There is a house below us, that was damaged in the Assisi earthquake. Work started on it 18 months ago, when all the compensation claims were approved. Do not think I would like to wait that long to get my house repaired.  I believe there are still many people waiting after the Aquila earthquake as well.

Unfortunately can't help on that subject. The best guy who could have possibly helped Lotan 4850, has not  posted for 18 months now and he was a guru on insulation issues. Hope someone else can help.
