you worry about your 'facts' and I will worry about mine.
Ok then.
NSF, you are indeed disappointing me on this one..
Do some research and you will see that the italian contract is not as great as you think compared to the rest of the market.
There a queue to come down to Italy?
In my opinion:
1)a lot of guys are fed up with UK.
2)a lot of guys do the mistake to use the current exchange rate, I must agree with Elephant in the Castle, our expenses remained the same during the last two years.
NSF the day you want to be constructive about it and discuss it with me, PM or email me (I am quite sure you know who I am anyway or ask WWW) and I will send you all the datas I have collected about Italy and the local marke.
In the mean time..
Good luck
