Spent 50,000 lira (not a lot, believe me then-probably £20) on the market in Broni for some basic cooking equipment in 1987 -most of which I'm still using -what you bought back then was good quality.

Just remembered covering an orange crate in a piece of yellow striped cotton as a telephone table...
