That is true. I even went to a holiday resort where they took you on trips to bathe in mud... just can't remember where it was.

On the Continent Europe, in particular Spain Italy and Greece
Women were used to be servile to their husbands and spent many hours in the kitchen cooking enourmous meals.
In fact a life of service was considered normal years go
Not so the present generation, as they all have careers now
They have an equal partnership with their spouses,and often earn more money.

Italian men, especially treat woemn very well and always pay them many compliments at any age. Well. of course it is a Martrical Society,

One granddaugher in Italy, is a Medical Doctor another in Switzerand a Nurse, Another a Senior Bank Official,
They can afford to eat out which they often do.

Also their Salaries are nealy double of that in the UK but the cost of living in the those Countries is more,,. but not double
