I am seriously concerned about him and that Italy might have succumbed to the sort of wretched goody goody GPs we have (do they have such creatures?). The sort that recommends that an 89 year-old starts to take his diet seriously and cuts down on saturated fats, alcohol, etc, etc. "You won't make old bones you know" they say quite seriously to someone who's had a full and fantastic life. And whilst on that topic, you watch your butter intake Mr Ashley! - just because you dip asparagus into it doesn't make it healthy you know.
