Excuse me?

Oh this made me smile,Gattina.!..I also like 'It use the education '.yeh,right ! do we need to know what Peluche is ? There doesn't seem to be an English translation for it.:o)

whatever it is you cant wash it!!!!!!!!!!!

its a stuffed toy or teddybear!!!!!!????

Yeah, it means "Cuddly toy": Well done, Sticki! I couldn't understand why they felt they had to have an English version of this notice anyway, it's not exactly in a tourist area, and we must be the only English for miles. It's sometimes easier to get the meaning from the original Italian than it is trying to figure out what they're trying to say in English. I suppose if I think of the term - "capo di casa" (head of the household) which is what the town hall insists on calling my OH (despite the fact that the house is in my name and he speaks virtually no Italian), it begins to make a little sense.

Thank you,Sticki,my bi lingual friend ! Lol...I will now teach my Grandson the name of my daughters old Peluche,
which has always been known as Rainbow Ted,...a multi coloured one,who is in touch with his feminine side.:o)...chosen by her in Whitby,many years ago Lol.

i googled it ~ i cant do languages!!!

You have just spoiled the image,Sticki..why are you so honest ? Lol.

i would really hate you to think i was something that i wasnt!!!

Would I ever do that,Sticki?..no way...just joking,but you knew that,didn't you ? L:o)

probably!!!

the only hard thing about emails, text and blogging is that you cant see the grin or the twinkle in people's eyes!!!

Not probably,Sticki..definitely. !!. :o)

Second time I read it I could see you smiling as you wrote it!

I just have to be honest!

We would expect nothing less of you, Sticki.

of course! thank you gattina!!!!

Good,Sticki..second time around is often best...! :o)

:-)

And there's me thinking ,what how clever you are Stickie , but you are in a way because I wouldn't have thought of looking it up. And why must you have to put your head in Gattina ,lol.

to wash your hair Rose????????????? i didnt google that one!!!!

Oh, Rose, convoluted answer coming up: The Italian word capo means "head" as in the head of a company, or a boss, NOT the head on your shoulders, which is "testa", and it ALSO means "garment" or "piece of laundry". They've obviously done a Bloomer and looked up the latter on Google, which gave them the wrong meaning. Have I explained that properly? Hope you can understand what I'm trying to say. It SHOULD be written:

"Open the washing machine and put the garments in. Close the door and choose the programme. Put the coins in and press the start button. When the display reads "0", open the door and take the clothes out"
I know, clear as mud. Sorry!

you could offer to be the local translator gattina!!

Nah! I believe it to be a hair-washing instrument! Can't be worse than my 'peluqueria' who knocks my 'cabeza' around with her knuckles and I come out looking smart, but bruised! ;o)

Surprisingly enough, Sticki, they seem to get deeply offended when I offer my services, so I've stopped. Anyway, why spoil my fun?
OOhh, Nariz, that sounds painful - isn't there anyone else you could go to, or is it supposed to be energetic and therapeutic massage?

As is always the way with hairdressers - you find a magnificent one and they go off and get married or get pregnant and you have to seek out another one! I found this one after one married and moved away but having suffered several disasters between times I'm inclined to put up with the head-shoving to get a fantastic 'wash-and-wear' cut and the priviledge of just 'popping in' when I'm in town, rather than make an appointment. Swings and roundabouts! :o)

Fantastic blog and as a huge bonus I have had a great giggle at all the comments. Wonderful, wonderful GOY and Goyers.

Going to bed now feeling happy. Thanks all...
