I do not know how many are aware, but now if you need to renew your UK passport while living in Italy, the documentation now has to be sent to Paris.

Just confirms my opininon that Spanish cusine is not a patch on ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ. No ½ûÂþÌìÌà would bother either cooking or eating something that didn't taste good. Well the ½ûÂþÌìÌÃs can only taste what they like, one of the least adventurous countries!! Thank goodness for better or equivalent cuisines. There is nothing wrong with Spanish, Greek, German, Swedish, Thai, Chinese, Indonesian, Middle eastern, Cambodian, Vietnamese,Korean, Lebanese, etc. To put ½ûÂþÌìÌà food on a pinnacle, shows the closed mentality for a mediocre cuisine. I have nothing that encourages me to ½ûÂþÌìÌà food. Never ate it for 45 years, and it is still not anything exciting.

Nearest I can get to on the Excel calculator is for the 3kw supply, for 3600kwh is 937 Euro. This is as you have not gone into the 4400kwh band which adds much more. 3000kwh gave me 798 Euro 3600kwh ...... 937 Euro 4399kwh ......1122 Euro This is a "beta" calculator, but is fairly close to the actuals hopefully. 6 kw supply will take me a little longer to calculate, but sure someone on here can give you a close estimate.

Yes they are compatible, just remember the power consumption may be higher than the ½ûÂþÌìÌà low powered ones. E.G. Toasters, kettles etc

I made 3 diagonal cuts on each side and cooked them till the skin crisped up, then added thinly sliced red pepper and matchstick courgettes, prior to pouring the sauce over, when they were on the plate. They were delicious. Have not made the salted ones, so that will be for next time. Was also going to get some sardines to cook on the barbeque, but they were not much larger than anchovies unfortunately. Had really good ones in Spain.

Spanish gambas piri piri, is great Sprostoni. We eat it quite often here, also tortilla. We also cook quite a few other meals in the Spanish style. Also miss the pork pies and jellied eels!! Have virtually always found the fish dishes here quite bland. Bought a couple of sea bass yesterday and had them grilled, then covered in a ginger, garlic, chilli and coriander root sauce, Thai style. Tonight is finely chopped chicken breast, stir fried with basil. Tomorrow, the other half of the chicken breast with cashew nuts.

Enel will be able to tell you how large a supply that you can have. If the main supply line needs upgrading, then it may be a few thousand Euro. Ours here, was upgraded to 15Kw, they put in new pylons and supply line. 7 years ago, it cost about 1600 Euro. There are only 6 houses on our white road, with 2 unoccupied, but did not seem to be a problem.
