I've been away, down to Spain for a break, lovely clean streets, nice tidy flowerbeds, beaches cleaned every day, in fact a very nice place. But I thought we would have a day out in Gibralta, Last time I was there was 45 years ago when I our ship stopped for a few days.

What a letdown. Went up the rock to see the apes and the paint was peeling, rubbish piled in corners, tatty little snack bar that you could not find a clean table.
This is the prime spot that you go to see, it was just like Lands End, a second rate british attraction.

The cafes charge the earth for a coffee, just like rip off Britain. The only good thing was the good old English bobbies on foot. I should think there are more police in Gibralta than there is in the whole of Hampshire. Pity they did not stop the tour guides hassling us.

lol, so true about there being more police there than various parts of our country  :D

I spent a happy day there in 1986, when holidaying in Marbella, got to say i loved it, even if the apes did try to pinch my baby  :o

Mind you now hes a hairy 21 year old, maybe i should nip back to see if they wanna nick him now  ;D
