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.

Hi Sarah & Mark.Website is the company one, and most of the info I receive is from them and not always shown on their site. I am quite happy to put a PDF or word document that may help people in the community with information that I have on file, as we could do on the previous forum. Cannot understand why the facility does not exist now.Anyway, have found one original link at the moment, so will add that to the energy certificate post, still think its faster just to add a file .

They are on my personal computer, so have not got the URL, otherwise I would have used it. Would be easier to just be able to include documents I think, instead of URL's every time.

Think that theres someone up there in the clouds, that decides to "rain on our parade" every Sunday for the last 3 weeks. Hopefully, some of the UK weather that they had for Wimbledon will arrive shortly. If it's going to be on an evening, then do we all bring "mozzie" repellant?

As far as I am aware, then the only way to get any grants about energy saving are having a energy saving certificate, which states that the energy saving from the original habitation is 20%+. This has to be completed by a thermal engineer and logged with the relevant authority. From that point you can start to deduct "up to" 55% of the cost from taxes paid over a period of 5years.In all cases, I think you will find you have to have full residency and pay ½ûÂþÌìÌà taxes on income ........ it is only up to 55% of the cost based on the tax you are actually paying. If you have a certified "green energy" new installation in a present house that is classed as "habitale", then you can claim this "up to" 55% against the whole installation, plus double glazing etc to get to the 20% energy saving.This was the latest information that I have, but as with everything else here, things change quite rapidly from month to month.

Presume you mean the cost in the Netherlands CM and not here in Italy. Could you give us an idea of what it costs there as a comparison?

Have eaten there, when we first arrived in Italy. As we were sometimes with a local Geometre, then we never thought about whether there were different prices, as subsequent visits alone always appeared ok. If they are dual-pricing, then that is not going to help them out, unless they just want the locals going. Good idea to name and shame these places and hope they change, although they will never realise unless they are contacted directly.

Initially it may be better to contact Stoves direct by email or telephone, with an explanation of the problem as they may be able to suggest a solution, that you may be able to rectify yourself. Normally the problem here is getting spare parts if they are required and knowing the part number required.
