Yesterday, lounging in our rural setting near Penna San Giovanni, I noticed a cat down near some trees. Firstly I was surprised at the size of it, then I noticed that it didn't seem to have a tail, it had sticky up (pointed) ears and had

Am I right that CGT on the sale of a property is only payable if the property is sold within 5 years of purchase AND another property isn't being bought? Also, the CGT amount is 40% of the profit made only? S

My sister (and her husband) arrive tomorrow and I'm thinking that they will absolutely SCORCH..........they WILL!! I will need to pour water/birra/G&T/ down her/him, but I'm not sure on the measures? I'll play it by ear 'probabilmente'.............. Tough life this eh ?!!!! Pool still 31c +..................cor blimey! S
Yes we could use a shower or two at the mo...............problem is, we'll probably get 3months worth overnight and the next day I'll have to go and dig my drive up from DOWN the hill and re-lay it back UP the hill!! Where's the beer!? S
A general location would help us narrow down options ? S
Here in our village (in Le Marche), the temperature has now been very hot and sunny for three weeks and looks like being so for the next week at least...........here is a weather forecast......... http://www.ilmeteo.it/meteo/Penna+San+Giovanni Too HOT !! S
Bravo alan h............. If anyone at all is travelling or sending down our way, you have some superb views/directions.......... well done ! S
Sorry folks...........yes we did start off talking about washing machines and then we moved onto mashed potatos (Gala Placidia's fault!) then onto onion gravy and then sausages ...........................before spending the euro in P d Falerone ! The things people talk about eh !?? If only I could do it in Italian!!!!!! I will try your masterplan Penny....................brava! S
I assume re the euro exchange that you refer to, I required a LITTLE bit more change (1 euro 10/20c??) .........joking aside..............I am a 6' 5" strapping chap, fine head of hair (some year's ago !)..............look sort of 45 years old ?? (HA!!!) ......I was once!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Please get back re salsicca..... Caio ciao........... S
Crikey Charlie.............The mash is great, the onion gravy is great.....................BUT................we REALLY struggle to find good sausages around here (Penna San Giovanni, Le Marche), normally they are VERY salty, we also struggle with cheese.............as much Pecorino as there is, it's just not Cheddar ! If I was loading a car to drive here now, I would pile it up with mature cheddar, and freeze it when we arrived. S
alan h is correct.............some friends of mine have moved into a house locally and plugged in their electric toaster (1.4kw) and their electric kettle(1.8Kw).......together they total more than the total 3Kw, so with all the other LITTLE things running (fridge freezer, TV, radio, computer,lights etc) you can guess what happened! I think Enel (electric suppliers) HAVE to provide 10% more than your nominated supply amount, so if you have a 3Kw supply, you will be provided with 3.3Kw. You can upgrade in (I think) 3Kw chunks, so 3,6,9 etc............ We have 6Kw here and it covers all of our needs including pool pump etc. We use gas hob for our cuppas. Good Luck, S
Colonel Mustard...............I am saddened, you have (I suppose) to take some responsibility yourself, as, during the interviewing process when selecting the (at the time) future 'Mrs', surely you covered in detail the 'I'm always in charge' area of questioning? Good luck............ S
