Buying a piano by ChrisandrachelHolland

I am a keen pianist (Grade7 ) and currently have a small keyboard. I would like to buy a digital piano (which I assume is more practical than an acoustic one in this climate). Can anyone recommend a good shop in Malta/Gozo and pass on any tips ...

ChrisandrachelHolland

Wow! This is very generous of the Maltese government. I'm all in favour of encouraging musicianship at all ages. Read More

Postal Service by tuojge

Hi George, We've had this conversation before about Catch 22. I'm told by Newcastle that EHIC now lasts for 6 months, which is fine, but according to the information at the top of this thread, you're supposed to apply for residency if ... Read More

Just returned to Gozo. Are we right in thinking that the Reciprocal Health Agreement for UK citizens is an either/or deal? That is, if you sign up for the RHA you relinquish your rights to NHS treatment in UK? We initially thought it was in ... Read More
