hi szq (interesting lable !!)............... We also received one of these ( I hated them back in the UK every ten years as well!).........but, I too went searching on their site for some clues re directions in English, and also failed. I emailed 'them' (rightly or wrongly in English, asking about the English info that they mention) and got a standard automated reply along the lines of 'we have received your email and will deal with it soon'.................by the way in Italian. I await their response and will post when I can, S ps: the census form looks HORRENDOUS !!!

The losers could be those who have bought places that have previously been 'good' deals for the Ryanairs of the world. pile em high, sell em cheap !....................move on. Maybe I'm a sufferer ???? oh hec !! S
