    They do have cash machines in Italy, you know...

    Yeah, but us old geezers like the reassurance of a wad...!

    Not quite as good fun as the 1st time I went to Italy, however... in the days of the lira... (long before the 2000-odd conversion rate of Lira to the Euro when they joined).

    My £400-odd quid wad meant I was a lira millionaire!
