We were at war with the Axis powers which included Italy, and our newspaper had a contest for school kids to write something about the war. I was about 15 at the time and this was my entry. I printed a map of Italy just like yours and wrote: Oh how the poor Italians must feel, To live in a boot and be run by a heel. I did not win the contest....... Grannymar,

My heart sank when the Monarch pilot said that the plane had a fault and that they had no engineer there, but perhaps Ryanair would have someone (They had to fly another plane from England in the end). I will never, ever ski in Andorra again. I can, but it brings memories of the sixteen hour delay at the airport.
