He had a lot more time for the Italians than he did for his own kind.<br /><br />Just my kind of post subject is this. Fascinating Fly. Their ‘real world’ for five years was galaxies away from mine, let alone every subsequent generation since. I had to check to see whether you’d written this post in the last week or so. Much here that resonates with events on the streets of late. <br /><br />I’ll be checking out that YouTube video pretty shortly. I hope your Mother has been distracted enough by her hospital circumstances this last week, so as not to have seen to much of the rioting and looting footage on the Tv. I could imagine her becoming angrily horrified and disturbed by the whole sick spectacle of it all.Bish Bosh Bashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01311092711040714994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021650718999668529.post-19781770621691613122009-12-31T11:10:18.394+01:002009-12-31T11:10:18.394+01:00Rosie,it tells you a lot about the Teutonic sense ...Rosie,it tells you a lot about the Teutonic sense of humour - probably not assisted by the quality of what's on Youtube.<br />Asking one's mother in law whether she felt liberated and mentioning the Italian POWs in the same sentence might get the year off to a somewhat interesting start...<br />Happy New Year to you and yours.the fly in the webhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563871975125538755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021650718999668529.post-54215472893525701612009-12-31T10:17:49.693+01:002009-12-31T10:17:49.693+01:00Lovely post, dire video :-) What's the French ...Lovely post, dire video :-) What's the French equivalent? My mother spent the war 'coping' and waiting for Dad to come home, my mother in law was a Landgirl. My mother always gave the impression that it was marrying Dad at 18 that got her out of her family situation. My mother in law loved being a Landgirl and talks fondly of the Italian POWs nearby! But doesn't ever mention that she felt liberated by it - I shall ask her when I see her next week.
