I see 'Jud The Impaler' is as sharp as ever with her mischievously funny one
liner; (I didn't know there were any Italian Eateries in Rugby)!  By the way
Jud, if you need a dep. for that Rugby Football gig............

Anyway - I seem to remember that there was, some years ago, a very similar
question posed in the B.B.  to which some distinguished scribe answered:
"....the word 'ripieno' is derived from a French word which in English means
replenish".  He thought that that is why repiano(sic) players 'back up' the
front row cornet parts such a lot of the time.
