Down to Prinos greengrocers, and the customer chaos there is like the last supermarket day before Christmas. Thetraditional food for Green Monday is fish, or seafood, and green vegetables and carts are heaped high. We come home with large bags of oranges and grapefruit as well as a few tomatoes and cucumbers. We're always saying that it's surprising there aren't een more car accidents here (and it is one of the worst countries in europe) and sure enough as we cross the road between Carrefour and Prinos we skirt an accident that must just have happened - damage to vehicles only. Driving while on the telephone is illegal here, but almost universally practised. Although the high accident rates pre-date mobile phones.
