Prosecco is a white wine, so it's hard to find in a panino. Also, it is a far north wine while mozzarella is mainly a fresh southern cheese, you'd hardly find them together 
Maybe you intended Prosciutto and Mozzarella Paninis?

You obviously have not visited any of the poncey sandwich shops round here.

Sadly, I did. It sold "paninis" and exhibited a large Italian flag. Of course the only Italian things in there were me and my GF 
It was a nice experiment - 5£ for something I could buy at 1.5£ at Tesco and be more satisfied

Blimey, you must have gone to one of the cheap greasy spoons.

Yes. It was late, we were hungry and had 5-10 minutes to spare, so the first place was the best place!
The hard life of being on vacation in London and having only 3 days. Not that when we stayed 10 days we had much more spare time either... Next time I'll spend more time in Bath, I really appreciated the time there (one single day, on Saturday, in Christmas time. I never saw that many people gathered in the same place...)

You must have caught the Christmas Market. The natives tend to avoid that one due to the crowds, although there are quieter times.
It can be busy at other times of year too - Bath is the second biggest tourist attraction in the country (second to London), however London is a bit bigger. Can be frustrating as a local though, as the city seems to be run for tourists rather than locals - bloody council seems to think of it as an oversized museum.
If they had any sense, they would look at cities like Florence - a comparable size with a much better attitude (at least from my perspective, you may well find the locals there equally frustrated).

Yes I caught the Christmas Market, even if we weren't there for that. We were there for the Jane Austen museum, gibven that my GF is very fond of Jane Austen. Between the museum, the JA themed shopping and the Regency Tea Room I spent quite a bit there, but enjoyed every moment.
Please, don't point at Italian cities as examples on how to run a city, that's BAD example. No city is regarded as oversized museums - in fact almost anything that should be preserved is wasted, ruined and/or left to the organized crime syndicates.

Ok, point taken, but Florence seemed to do some things right too. You'd hope there would be a middle ground.
The Jane Austen museum is a bit of a standing joke, as she wasn't at all fond of the city, and had her least productive time as a writer while living there.

The people at the JA museum are quite honest on that point Still it has one of her few precisely known residences, also her last (and best, IMHO) novel is based in Bath - and the BBC adaptation is filmed there.

Was on a business trip to Tennessee and they got a couple of inches of snow (it melted that day) and you would have thought the ice age started.

We used to call them toasted sarnies. The only real difference is we squashed them ourselves after they'd been toasted (if they were too thick too eat otherwise).
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.
