Re: Scrapping a UK van in italy 2025

Funnily enough, I've never recognized rhe Italian way as that, despite memories of getting a few quid from the scrapyards in the UK for a wreck; in the '60s. When I first had to do it in Italy, 90s,...

Re: Caption Competition

Thank you for the reply, Daniel.
The "Guardian" article, with readers' comments, is helpful; in that it provides context and contrary opinions.
The one "skill" identified is "literacy". Like some...

Re: Caption Competition

Re: The Ilaria Salis case

Do I detect a glowering face, Finknottle Old Boy?

I mentioned earlier that I had opinions on Ms Salis; One of...

Re: Venice Tourist Tax

The Venice sewage system was overhauled in the late '90s but, even before then, I never found it particularly pongy in any season; I lived there from '94 to 2003.
The geography of the city means...

Still at it as midnight approached, Finknottle?

Stra

Re: Converting UK driving licence
