Re: Electrical wiring question

From the code itself

Non sempre gli elettricisti e le industrie produttrici rispettano questo codice.

Re: Electrical wiring question

I wasn't thinking of anything to do with UK specifically.

Re: What say you?

Re: como or firenze for family

Florence has lots of churches, a museum full of dreary religious paintings and not enough car parks.

Como is charming and has a nice pond.

The lake area is better for my family but yours may be...

Re: The long road to Italy (and looking for a pit stop)

It's really down to whether you just want a quick and basic stop to break your journey or would prefer to make the trip as enjoyable as possible. We are the latter and have the time etc to do it, so...

Re: The long road to Italy (and looking for a pit stop)

Depends on your timing and your chosen route of course, but we stayed in Beaune earlier this month and it's a great overnighter.

Re: Relocating to Milan - quality of life there?

In fact, it isn't. It's a very nice city with lots to see and do, and some millions of people are living there very happily.

Re: The BBC channels have gone.....

I tried Filmon which seems OK but can't get my Samsung TV to recognise the laptop on HDMI2 as the manual says it should.

Re: The BBC channels have gone.....

I'm about 70km north of Milan and we get only limited reception, and only in daytime.
