One of the things I enjoy about the area I live in (South-East Sicily) are the little ape (three-wheeled) or slightly bigger blue trucks that travel around and park in seemingly random positions (although I am sure there is a well defined hierarch

 ... coming up with a question was hard. How can you come up with anything that Google does immediately cough up!

anyway - here goes.

alan h's document is quite comprehensive but it was missing one bit I was really looking for - where does cerasuolo the word come from. Elicat got that right with "kerasi" which is literally cherry in greek.So 20 goes to the fund and t-shirt to elicat which hoepfully will start a new post, tag it Abruzzo Quiz and give us the next question -  and if Jinty and/or alan h pop a symbolic amount in the fund I'll fire off two t-shirts their way as well

The initials C d V come on, I am practically giving this away now...

Hi, you are right - but the settings were wrong. I just fixed it - the total size of a gallery is 20MB while each image can be a max of 2MB. Before both the total size of gallery and max per image size were set at 2mb - not really a realistic scenario  Best, Ronald
