POM - Sept/Oct 2013 - "Coffee"

[sagi58]

There seems to be two "distinct" groups of Italian immigrants that settled in Toronto!
One group always found work with other Italians in Italian run businesses and were not
in a situation where learning English was "the" most important issue in their lives.
The other group found work with companies/community employers where English was
a "must" if they wanted to communicate. Even though their written skills may not have
been up to par, they learnt to speak it well enough to understand/make themselves
understood, many even had a working knowledge in reading.
My parents belonged to that second group; but, Mom doesn't "get" the double entendres,
which suits my brothers and I just fine!! haha...

It is! And so is Timothy's, Second Cup, William's, Starbucks and any number of independent coffee shops and Italian bakeries.
