It is being sent by container loads to a lonely monastery where monks pore over the 5 copies of your raccomandata registered letter and match each signature of pickup to the package.<BR/>Those whose signatures don't add up probably risk having all their mail perloined for the rest of the receiver's life. That's why things simply never arrive.<BR/>But who could tell? Most signatures are a simple straight line anyway...Irreverent Italyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15104487411073849736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362454344378752317.post-78596800541059169682008-11-03T17:06:00.000+01:002008-11-03T17:06:00.000+01:00Email??

I'm still hoping the bank/post office will get filing cabinets to properly file all the customer paperwork, instead of stacking everything on tables. Case in point: post office in Santa Maria Degli Angeli! At least, that is the way it was 5 years ago, and I highly doubt it has been painful enough for them to change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362454344378752317.post-4453222959571340572008-11-03T13:28:00.000+01:002008-11-03T13:28:00.000+01:00Re: Guy FawkesThe reason for this celebration is t...Re: Guy Fawkes<BR/>The reason for this celebration is the fact that Henry VIII nationalized the monasteries back when and by law the Church of England was established (and by law will be dis-established). It's the stupid English way of perpetuating anti-Catholicism.<BR/><BR/>DavidDave514https://www.blogger.com/profile/08791965245809463319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362454344378752317.post-35704240801293991052008-11-03T01:21:00.000+01:002008-11-03T01:21:00.000+01:00It's nice to read about what life in Italy is real...It's nice to read about what life in Italy is really like. The blog I normally read, while mentioning the difficulties, is usually filled with stories about how charming and wonderful it is with a few jabs taken at the USA. Which is a little disturbing since that's where they're from. I found your comments about Momma and Papa taking care of the adult children rather interesting and a bit disturbing.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for a non-rose colored look at life in Italy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
