Some more merry conclusions from my holiday. I went to Rome for a bit. Things I have concluded:

• Should investigate concept of smooth braking
• 1980s sci-fi post apocalyptic style music pumped into the metro stations
• Peculiar small cars everywhere.
• Ice cream comes in trifle flavour though this isn’t necessarily good.
• Striding traffic light men very jolly
• Brilliant Vatican signs: illustrated people seen either wearing swimming trunks or limbs are falling off.
• Ability to find an Enid Blyton book in any part of the world is completely excellent. As was book summary (above).
