Things grow SO fast here (in le Marche) that I was wondering if it would be throwing some potatoes into the ground to see if they grow? Is it too hot or too dry does one think? S

I think I (who have been very disappointed in the past!) need to eat some humble pie.......... Now that the enhancements have been made, (with the honourable exception of the search facilit) the site is now workable and (for me) understandable....

    You have my sympathies, as I think the postal costs here are OUTRAGEOUS. If a little Birthday card weighs over 20 grams (TWENTY GRAMS !!!)...........so, a 22 gram letter makes the cost go up from 75c to 2.40 Euros(no inbetween rates .........2.40 Euros !)..................we are stopping sending them purely out of principle, I'd rather phone even if it costs more !

    I'm not a 'kindler', but I do seem to recall whilst looking at a friends, it appeared to have MPG and MP3 capability, and, if one is accessing the Internet to buy books etc via it, then one presumes that it would be a small extra step to 'surf' ? I found the following: You need to purchase internet service package from one of providers, for instance, Road runner. After they showed up and installed a modem. You need to have a wireless router. Use a lan cable which comes with almost wireless router to connect the modem and the router. When you connect the cable in the router you have to choose a proper port. Usually it's written on router where the internet port is. You need to connect the cable in the router internet port. After that you might have to configure the router.

    Hi Pat H, I also liked the 'old' format and mentioned that the change process at that time was AWFUL . BUT...........I have to say that I am very used to this current format now and it works very well for me. My normal mode of access is by targetting viewing only those messages that are unread by me. I have a single click of the button to access these unread items. Those that interest me I just scroll through and reply/add/contradict as my knowledge allows. I think in general, whilst there are always things to improve, I say well done to the administrators and in particular to the posters who have provided me with LOADS of excellent information in the last 3+ years. bravi tutti !

    Without doubt, the drawings, the ideas and the 'getting things sorted' was a breeze with our geometra. We also went (very risky I know !) without a solicitor. Good luck whichever way you go ! S

    Hi chrisnotton, You seem to have covered most of the angles, the only thing that (I know) that you didn't mention was the driving licence, I was under the impression that this was a 'requirement' ? S
