Re: Nitpick central (none / 1)

I'll blame the Italian tour guide who probably told them that factoid. :)
No way was I going to go through and try to spell check this whole thing in Italian (and French and German)! There will be many misspellings. I suppose that is what it sounded like to their ears.
Why can't you just be happy they're acknowledging the success of Europe?!! ;)

Re: Nitpick central (4.00 / 2)

They would be acknowledging the success of Berlusconi.

Re: Nitpick central (none / 0)

I honestly don't think they see it that way. I think Paul is just impressed with the country.

Re: Nitpick central (none / 0)

No, I wasn't thinking about whom they would think responsible, I was explaining why I could not take on your suggestion that a strong-Euro-time construction upswing in Italy could be seen as a success of Europe.
