CIAO All!
Haha! Thank you all for your welcome. And even to Hugh the drunk Clergyman ;)
'Ciao' is something I have always said.. a habit picked up from my late father... and I aint changing that now.. It is indeed universal and where I usually reside in Switzerland it is used by most.
Will certianly stay tuned and post when the need takes me. Yesterday I had a strong need to ask questions and get opinions but I think, as usual, I have solved my query for now by talking to those in the know - and I am taking heed.
After a mass clearance of dense greenery on some adjacent land to mine my view is somewhat altered and very unpleasant (abandoned shops and an old rusty lorry) so I wanted to build a wall. Alas as it is commercial land, around 1-2 meters higher than mine so it is their wall and I cannot build on it without the proper authorisation. The main reason being that it is commercial and the owner wil have far more clout than if it were residential. I will post all this in a separate thread another time as this saga will, I am sure, continue.. and opinion - both positive and negative - is always useful.
Thanks again!
