8949 national slow day

Nutters or visionaries? www.italymagazine.com/italy/life-style/italy-celebrates-world-slow-day not Italian specific, but the concept just feels at home in the bel paese, no?

General chat about Italy

if they made the slow marathon a proper olympic sport, I reckon Italy would be a shoe-in for the medals.

I also opt for the visionaries label. Their slow marathon will really suit me!

I cant really say that I noticed the difference ........having had the mother,father and all the rest of the family size [B]hangover[/B].
After the sunday lunch for the goemetra and builders, that was a slow event itself..........only 7 hours ........but yes, slow days are a great idea.

I love the "using time stuck in traffic jams to have a chat with the driver of a neighbouring car" suggestion.

Can you picture doing that on a gray chilly day on the M25? Just lower your window tap on the other's car and say... "lots of traffic, eh?"

not bloody likely! UK insurance policies (well, mine anyway) now come with road rage insurance built in - sign o'the times, but highly depressing nonetheless. I'd venture a guess that this type of cover hasn't yet made it onto the italian undewriters radar.
