And, in general, the supermarkets are not so bad in the UK, which is probably why it annoys me so much here. But Italians do it everywhere. On the street, on the roads in their cars and in shops. Sometimes I just…grrrr!

And normally, in the supermarket, you have to behave like a gladiator in the ancient Roma (I prefer the italian name, you know…). Why? It’s stupid, I know. Every time I go I get hurt everywhere. In front of the fridge many people like the show of cheese and ham. They stay hours, and I still have to understand what they are looking. So I prefer to go or late in the evening, when I can walk in the aisles without danger, or early in the morning, to finish before the arrive of the crowd!

In the UK you can get beer, wine AND cigarettes at the supermarkets. Here you have to go to tobacco shops for cigarettes. Same sort of thing with postage stamps. All very strange.

The wine was good. Worth the €1.59!

I followed you all around the tore – I could see you and feel your angst. Now don’t get angry at me but I was laughing at your frustrations and behaviors – :-) So, how was that wine?

Love Gail
peace….
