What news on the Rialto?

An expression Malc and I often use "What news on the Rialto". The Rialto is the Rialto Bridge in Venice and the expression is from Shakespeare's  Merchant of Venice Act 3, scene 1. If you ever go to Venice it is a must to stand on the bridge and say it. We have a lovely memory of no one being around in the streets of Venice, one night in January, with mist swirling round us as we shouted out "what news",  unforgettable.
So in future if I ask about news on the Rialto you know what I am on about.
