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.

Londonlass. Is that a 3rd party, or fully comprehensive policy, as have just paid £816 for a comprehensive policy through Italsure?

Have not used it under vines, but if you get a sprayer,then you just target the weeds you want to kill. If the spray hits the soil, then it is neutralised. I have used it around the edge of the orto, around laurels and fruit trees. As it is absorbed through leaves, then you should be perfectly ok at ground level around vines

Should give you some idea of the average price through Europe.

If you go into virtually any garden store and ask for the above, you will get basically the same product (roundup contains glyphosate ). 1ltr usually dilutes with 40 ltr of water for normal weeds, but you can increase the concentration if required.

You could also search on the old forum, it has always been a very intensely discussed subject.

I presume you are paying Enel the extra E2 per month then for the green energy supply.

Bunterboy. That would not be enough to run the electric cooker here, if we switched all the lighting on we would be at 6Kw. Why should I worry about paying an electricity bill of under 3k per year for 24 hr heating and hot water inclusive of the whole house requirement?

Thu, 09/30/2010 - 11:43

2.8 kw would not be worth thinking about, especially for 15K euro, even with the payback. Cannot believe how so many people get drawn into this for a 10+ year hopefull recovery on their money.

Allan. Domestic water heating is only 20% of a house heating needs. The onboard computer on the heat pump here shows that 80% of its use is the house heating. This is about the normal figure for any installation. From this I can base that the DHW only costs me about 250-300 euros per year. That does not warrant putting solar on the roof a that is not a constant heat source. From your figure above, this would confirm the fact that your main energy requirement is for heating. Re the efficiency factor, you could site the air inflow for the Nuos inside a cantina area where the temperature gradient is not as drastic. The Optima pumps are designed for -20C temps, which very rarely happen here, but can be combined with another heat source if needed.
