A Hole New Way Of Doing Things

Another amazing story from Italy...

After the snow cleared (and that took a couple of weeks because it was so cold here and it would keep on snowing) my road was left with several large holes. Now, being British, I just accepted these and walked around them. I didn't expect anything to happen.

However, between going out to do my shopping this morning (at 10a:30am) and hovering on my doorstep waiting for a student (at 2:30pm) those holes had been filled - I kid you not! No weeks of warning signs surrounding the holes, no days of workmen looking at the holes, no hours of noise and smell while some work is being done - no, quickly, silently and efficiently, those holes were filled.

Sometimes Italy can teach Britain a thing or two.
