Thanks Nancy. I'm delighted to know you are following my posts, and compliments are always welcome!

Thank you for your intelligent analysis Markuva, you have made some interesting points, and I agree about the national certification and branding.

Cheers Spook. Always nice to see an old post rise from it's dormant state. Cor blimey! Lavverly - Gawd bless ya!

Good luck with it Eric. Let me know how you get on! Sounds like precious stuff.

It suddenly occurred to me to seek the history of "St Vitus Dance" and I was really surprised to see the similarities today. The phrase was clearly very common in previous generations, and perhaps future ones will call it the "Harlem Shake". Thanks for your story Charlino - I'm glad to know that I wasn't the only one accused of it.

Thank you Eastwood for that advice. I'm familiar with the ring pull devices you refer to, but they are not an option in this case, and as my post was about an "organic" specific brand there isn't much I can do about it. I'd forgotten this post - I appreciate being reminded about it, although what possessed me to write it in the first place two years ago, I know not!

Thank you for your input Charlino. It's rather ironic that it takes an outspoken Queen's consort to raise an important issue which his hypocritical and callous government hasn't the bottle to neither identify or appreciate.

I failed to mention in this post that in the previous April I arrived in Rome with a few relatives, and we took a cab to our hotel. The driver drove like crazy, and I was holding on for grim life, but after dropping us off, he returned thirty minutes later with a bag which we mislaid. It was an important one - with medicines. No one was aware of it until the hotel receptionist brought it to my attention - the driver didn't hang around - he just returned it and left. Had I been there at the time I would have given him a reward in gratitude. I certainly didn't call the press. But I did leave something for him when I checked out - because the chances were he was known to the hotel and they would have give him it. A significant honest act of kindness from a Rome taxi driver with no fuss or expectations. It probably happens all the time but the Italians don't see a need to broadcast such things! Thanks very much for your comments. I appreciate your input.

Hear Hear! And thank you for your erudite comment. Our nurses are greatly undervalued, and you're right - it is a vocation first and foremost and we do not reward them sufficiently. Nor should it matter a jot where they come from. All that matters is that they matter.

You got the point!
