    Lot of Italian immigrants to Italy. Not least because it was where we had a lot of our POW camps in WWII and since half the Italian army surrendered to us in the desert, that meant a fair few stayed.

    I find it fascinating the anti communism sentiment over there yet a large majority are pro unions. They go hand in hand.

    Yes, but they pronounce it 'Car-Mine' whereas I understand it's supposed to be pronounced 'Car-min-eh', which is a bit girly.

    as you can see - Mesut Ozil in a previous life.
    He's the subject of Michael Mann's next movie apparently. Was to be played by Cristiano Bale but he was forced to pull out of the project due to his Carling Cup, or whatever the Spanish call it, commitments with Real Madrid.

    Shame..
