Ah the Guardia di Finanza, remember driving from Naples to Latina with the cig ration for the uk team, they thought they had hit paydirt until I showed my id card and travel docs and pointed out my AFI number plate, around the next bend got pulled up by the Carabineri for speeding, so in my best Northern english accent asked Ay up whats matter Officer, flashed my id again got told to sod off in Italian and told not to do it again.
I take my hat off t9 you sailor chaps. I get seasick in the shower
