Hi Den,
Talking about Italy,
Yes indeed, we did miss each other by one trip.. slave ship, at least 22 bloods per table, floor scrubs every morning, beer lifts, afternoon teas, lucky to get finished by 8.30pm too nackered to bothergoing ashore, ass..le bloods that came all the way back to the ship via liberty boat not to miss ice tea and tab nabs. bloods doing a moonlight halfway trough meal at end of trip... no tip
Italy..So different north and south, in Naples if you stopped any woman in the street and asked where the local brothel was, they'd tell you without a bat of the eye, but in Genoa do the same thing, On no.... very different . A couple of guys tried it thinking the response would be the same, the women yelled blue murder calling for the police, so When in Rome, you don't always do what the Romans do.
There were only 2 queens on board that I came across, Bess & Babs.. do you remember them?
