Just as I'm completely convinced that there will never be the slightest chance of your Russian "fixers" falling foul of the law and having all of the documentation seized that might contain your real names, addresses, car registration details, etc. Of course not. That sort of thing never happens, does it... Especially not in Scalea... How are the property sales bearing up in the face of the economic crisis, by the way? I see that even the oligarchs are having problems these days, eh?
Nardini, I'm sure you're right. 100%. no, 110%. There is a huge chance to be killed by a brick fallen from the sky directly onto your head! Let's everybody sit at home and never go out...but there are plenty of fires and electrical shocks...any suggestions?

With regards to the property business, "those rusians" co-run or work in some way with italian agency with 25 years experience in Scalea. Plus, the have a uk-reg ltd company and most of them are british. I won't say nothing about their business, but it looks £ok£ to me Unfortunately I've seen no oligarchs so far maybe, it's because they all are in London?

The oligarchs may rule, but is anyone else bored of reading Narkys pedantic, condescending and patronising rants on just about everything?

I've certainly had enough.

The Italian judiciary can suspend your UK licence if you violate the laws here in Italy, This could make your return to the UK quite interesting!

Hi Mike where are you from in UK? What airport do you use and do you fly ito Lamezia, Naples or Rome? Have you been on the www.scalea.info/forum/index yet? Very helpful and specific to the area. As far as the car goes, I think people were only trying to help and it just developed into a bit of a slanging match. It's easy to take people the wrong way in these forums when we try to put a lot into very short posts.

Hi! Yes, we have been on that forum and have already met many wonderful people there as well as in Scalea itself. Withregards to the car - all good and sorted with UK insurance. PLEASE DO NOT BOTHER ME WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS!



Only wanted to say - anybody who bough with Servizi Immobiliari Srl (HolidaysHouse.it) in Scalea (co-owners of RussianScalea.ru with LUCKONI.com) in the past years are now entitled to have a 10% discount card that works in many restaurants, car rentals, private lidos, designer shops etc. in Scalea Just pick up card in the office (opposite Hotel Talao) and enjoy your savings!
