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.

Sprostoni. Your consumption figures for electricity are similar to various others that I have and equate to what we normally expect for an average (circa E1200 p.a. ). Based on that, we heat the house here for about 50% of our total expenditure per year.

Also be carefull of the ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ/English pricing system. Our very good ½ûÂþÌìÌà friend a few days ago, found out from someone he was hiring for some work,Ìý that the rate was E12 per hour for ½ûÂþÌìÌÃs, but E15 for non ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ.

For your size of apartment Moruzzo, then you would be better off getting an Inverter for the heating and aircon. Re edited as first link not working properly.

Capo Boi. The table is for the total cost, including all standing charges, IVA etc. Unit cost on the top rate of electricity, is nearly 24cents + another 2C in extra charges + IVA, so you are around 28 Cents per KW.

With all the comments above, I am quite happy to have the whole house heated by the equivalent of a 2kw fan heater. As with everything else, do loads of research before deciding if you want to live in 1 room or the whole house in the winter.

Why not ask the above, he will direct you in the correct way, as he has installed those systems.

Lovely description of the fun of woodburners. Our experience:- Year 1: Heat pump plus 50 quintale of wood if needed for emergencies for the L'Aristico fire in the sitting room. Hard work to stack, but only used a few kilos as not needed unless wanted to see some flames. Gets far too hot though!!! Year 2 to today(4 years later); Still only using a few kilos of wood a year, so still about 40 quintale left from original purchase. Ìý Cost of heating the house 24/7 in all rooms still around E1500 p.a. Result: Happiness and very little wood carrying

They have been shaded, pre-started in pots, but have not grown higher than a couple of inches. Will have to experiment a bit more, maybe clay soil is not good for them. As for the parsnips, this is the first year of trying!!!

This site seems to cover a range of manufacturers, so might help for info.
