1)his name is unmistakably Italian.
2) maybe your atlas is out of date. Did you download the update?

well, like Leonard Cohen once sang, "first we take manhattan, then we take berlin".
maybe just the same, after the Italians took Manhattan with their fashionistas, they could have just taken over Berlin without us knowing, and moved Berlin to Italy... Cheesy

let me check my atlas or globe, if not I will get one from Ebay. A new up to date one dated yesterday, of course !

One who mixes Berlin with anything Italian has surely never been to those places.   Grin

I have been to Berlin. Never seen anything like it anywhere else.
But then I've never to Italy!

Being a general manager for the country doesn't mean one has to work in it. Particularly for online businesses.

That explains why the general manager of nearly every UK companies call centre speaks with an Indian accent, when I say UK company they are not often owned by UK businesses but just trading here!

Still I suppose we have exported Alamy to the US.

This is 2009, if they still have an Indian accent they are probably physically working in the UK. Wink    The competition is so fierce on mainland India that if you haven't excelled in your 'midwest joe' or 'birmingham pete' accent classes you could be in a serious trouble for securing a good job in the outsourcing field, no joke.

I work closely with programmers from Tata in India.
Can't understand half of what they are saying, seriously.
Maybe if you need a job in customer support you take classes for your accent, but if you are a programmer....nope.

Good. 

I just closed a credit card account because I couldn't manage to reach anyone at their customer service center who was capable of understanding or speaking English beyond a few canned phrases.

A few years ago I changed banks for the same reason. Now the major banks advertise that your call will be answered by someone in Britain!
