Sunk Like The Italian Economy
Whoops!!
Still, it could have been so much worse - apparently passengers were relieved that Bunga Bunga Berlesconi was not the resident crooner on this cruise...
One of the photos of the shipwreck shows a large EU Ring of Stars flag painted on the side (now top). A picturesque metaphor and one would need a heart of stone, etc etc.
Interesting that there was some confusion about exactly how many people were on board.
Another example of Italian creative accounting ? Only 'declare' a lower number of passengers/turnover, collect the rest of the cash in a brown envelope, hand a share to that nice man from Sicily.....

Insurance job like The SS Olympic ?
ReplyDeleteAs I said on your post of the Eds below "the face(s) that sank a thousand ships".
ReplyDeleteDidn't know Ed was on a Med cruise though.
Is Gordon Brown connected with this ship in any way?
ReplyDeleteGordon is into trucks not ships your ladyship..

Looking at the hole in the hull I'd say 'torpedo'.
