And then tell me that their idea of Canadian beer is.. Molson Canadian. Apparently we keep all the good stuff to ourselves too :) It makes me think that the Italians are watching people buy up the stuff they don't want and keep the good ones to themselves ;)Nimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12312747104116687193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-82490243861246886142010-08-12T08:37:59.647-04:002010-08-12T08:37:59.647-04:00I'm always floored when I see Canadian price t...I'm always floored when I see Canadian price tage in the US.

My guess; besides design 'n quality, word association may play a key role. Similar to a BMW; stylish with performance. German and foreign, though not necessarily so.<br /><br />As an 'non-US people', I give you two-thumbs up on American Design. Where it is manufactured and the price we as Canadians pay for it, is an all together different subject. -Brenda-mrsbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490065292054880863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-67027951653763168312010-08-11T19:25:37.503-04:002010-08-11T19:25:37.503-04:00Brenda: A surprising amount of Italian stuff is ac...Brenda: A surprising amount of Italian stuff is actually made there.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-10906928572546307162010-08-11T12:09:38.149-04:002010-08-11T12:09:38.149-04:00Paul, are all these bath components actually manuf...Paul, are all these bath components actually manufactured in Italy or do they have sister- companies in the U.S.? -Brenda-mrsbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490065292054880863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-18339106360727681222010-08-11T08:47:21.741-04:002010-08-11T08:47:21.741-04:00That's actually a hand towel.

I suppose whether or not such towels are shared is a function of how intimately you know your housemates.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-66875124374273657652010-08-11T08:39:08.643-04:002010-08-11T08:39:08.643-04:00OK, I have to ask - Does everyone share a washclot...OK, I have to ask - Does everyone share a washcloth at the bidet?Sprouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14631475022506249568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-34272522788002238582010-08-11T08:37:17.219-04:002010-08-11T08:37:17.219-04:00Elisabeth: Ugh.
