A Word of Advice to Brit travellers in Venice.

Do NOT blag a table in a restaurant that you’ve not booked, get given that table by a very nice Italian waiter, and then get into an argument with him on the night that England are playing Italy in a World Cup. You’ll get served :

Risotto – red, white and green.

Gelato – vanilla, strawberry and basil.

And by the time the meal has finished. And Italy (4 times World Cup Winners) have beaten England (1966) by 2 goals to 1…..you’ll get a free glass of wine :o)
