Arrived late at the station -5 mins till train for Pavia departed, massive unruly queues for tickets. Looking innocent and lost I stopped a guy in uniform who worked there and ended up being taken to the front of the queue -ticket sorted and was escorted to the train and seen on-board with a kiss on the hand (Didn't get his number though  )
You have to love the Italians even if they don't queue!  |
Ah the 8th Sept 1986 was when Italy started going down hill then
