I moved from Hungary to Croatia in October 2018 but so far have not been able to transfer from the Hungarian state health insurance system to the Croatian one. The Croatians require me to supply a...

Re: E104 Form

Thanks for the reply. I thought at first I had no software that could handle .doc files but I found a way and have printed a copy of the blank. I'm assuming it is filled in using the WP software...

Re: BBC Sounds app

Not heard about that but I did have to register and log in to BBC Sounds a couple of weeks ago. It asks for a postcode so it seems a halfhearted attempt to exclude listeners from outside UK. There...

Re: Early Retirement

Sadly I think you are right, these days people do need to know what to do in a terrorist or other violent situation. Last night I was watching a TV programme about the crash investigation of a...

Re: Looking for.... in Nemesvita (Balaton)

If you are not a member I suggest you also join the BalatonBrits as they have a lot of contacts for tradesmen etc. If you are on Facebook they have a group with over 400 members.

Re: Early Retirement

Good idea. When I was young they were predicting that increased automation would lead to reduced working hours and earlier retirement but the opposite has happened, due to the greed of those in...

Re: E104 Form

That is all I'm trying to do but Croatia won't let me start paying until they get the E104 form from Hungary.

Re: E104 Form

It seems there are several stages to the process of unregistering from the Hungarian health insurance system. At one point I posted my Hungarian Registration and Address cards back to the documents...

Re: Lidl

A few weeks ago I bought a box of Bramley apple pies in Lidl. I had almost forgotten that apples could have flavour! The apples I buy in the shops and the ones off my own trees are so bland, I rarely...

Re: Toilets without cisterns

One thing I would like to mention if you are doing your own wiring. The standard way of fitting sockets just relies on friction to stop the socket from pulling out of the plastic mounting box. In...

Re: Attic insulation

Hi Peter, yes I did mean the proprietory fixings for exterior wall insulation. I have never used these so was not sure if they were screwed or nailed in. I would guess that for a ceiling it might be...

Re: Attic insulation

I did this for one room (my bedroom) but the ceiling was a sort of adobe, not concrete. I chose that sort of insulation at the time as I tended to get snow blown in under the tiles. I thought this...

Re: Chimney replacement and fuel types

Thanks Peter. I will investigate the buffer tank idea. Someone else was talking about such tanks yesterday. There is a version with an extra heat exchanger for a roof mounted solar panel. My friend...

Re: cserépkályha removal

Re: cserépkályha removal

I suppose it will depend on whether it is the sort that is all in one room or half in one, half in another room. If it was built against an existing wall it might be just a case of dismantling it and...

Returning EHIC Card

I sold my house in Hungary and moved full time to Croatia in October 2018. One of the "loose ends" I have been trying to sort out is the transfer of state health cover from the Hungary system to the...

Re: Brits in Ireland post Brexit

Re: UK driving licences after Brexit

I got caught out on this. My UK licence photo card expired and I got a Hungarian licence but I failed to notice that it was only valid for 5 years, not 10 like the UK one. After 5 years it expired...

Re: Hungarian bureaucracy on the ball as ever.

One thing I was always grateful for in Hungary was that they didn't seem to use that terrible "surface dressing" method of surfacing roads. That is used extensively in UK, despite being a total waste...

Re: Digger47

Do you think he could cope with being driven back to UK in a car? My car is very small so not ideal but I would be willing to take him if it helps.
