Forgot to mention in the last blog that, in my post-Pilates café trawl last Friday, I made a waiter's day by asking for 'a panino' [sic]. I was the first person he'd met who knew that 'panini' is a plural and has a singular form, and he was thrilled. I don't expect he gets many moments like that in his day. Pedants unite!
