I trust all our Ambassadors are in mourning for the death yesterday of Pietro Ferrero?

Ahh ... Anniversary Mourning, then?
ITV has a different take on the subject ... http://www.itv.com/news/2015-02-15/c...-dies-aged-89/
Ah, it's Michele Ferrero.

Ah, it's Michele Ferrero.
Pietro was his son, who used to run the company alongside his brother and actual CEO Giovanni.
May these benefactors of mankind rest in peace.

Ferrero Roches?
I've always thought they were the most overrated chocolate ever produced. Even if c-w-s plucked the last one from his leather briefcase went down on bended knees and offered it to me I wouldn't thank him for it.

Oh yes. I haven't had one of them in ages. ^
That's me....always call a spade a spade.
I honestly don't care for them. Now if c-w-s had an endless supply of these instead he'd be my friend for life.

As a former Moderatir on another website, I can also add that it's bloody hard work at times. We may not always agree with them, but someone has to it ... and we do very well with the ones we have ^ 
I also like the Ambassador concept, even if I was rejected (again). It's so nice to have someone around to welcome people, and point them in the right direction. I've been to so many other Forums where stepping through the door and saying anything is a very negative experience.
I wish you all well in your new role as chocolate distributors and General Greeters.

) http://www.peopleofwalmart.comI should read ALL of the thread before I post, but since I am getting senile and forgetful, I won't remember what I wanted to write and would spend the whole day wondering what I wanted to do. Am sure there are lots here who have the same malady.
We all should observe an hour of silence for the man who brought us so many smiles: Mr Michele Ferrero. CWS what are you going to do?

Well, all I can tell you is that it takes away one of our three opup "credits" This is what makes c-w-s and Tobias-UK the two most natural ambassadors of us all as there are only two flights a year when they might not fly as far forward in the plane as the captain will tolerate! 
The rest of us are here to represent the proletariat whose cards are made of various shades of dodgy metal and unreal colours and whose annual flight count is below 1000!

You can even
, as well as access to airport lounges
There’s also a rewards program, which is typical in that it awards two points per dollar spent on travel and one point per dollar on other purchases
