Excellent, thanks a lot. Whereabouts in Veneto are you?

This Wind deal is perfect for me and I wouldn't drop it. I'll go into a Wind shop when I get back and see to it; I remember now I was scammed some years ago (provider Vodafone) - tempted into clicking a link that led to "buying" ring tones. Went to the Telecoms Police; waste of time.
However, don't want to clog up this thread.
BTW. Nationwide Pathology still haven't provided my Day 2 test result and I start back today.

Has anyone else taken one at a pharmacy to get into the UK and did it have all of the required information on the print out? I’ve been told different information by different people at the pharmacy so a bit anxious about it.

Yes. The pharmacy were very efficient; produced a test certificate (with my passport details) in Italian and English within 15 minutes; and charged 20 Euro.

Hospital District 1, Belluno. The pharmacy I used, Vetronelli(?), is in Farra D'Alpago.
My experience was as Stanley's.

Were you asked for your passport details in advice or did you just take them along with you?

And another thing. I have said my data roaming was not operative in Scotland: on the return, the phone gave a "ping" as soon as I reached Carlisle and I had data from then on!
Is GB trying-out its new cyber warfare capability on the Scots?😎
