Re: Treatment of animals in Spain
On the point in 83-86 lmao. I had been and gone by then I was truly on the point having arrived at San Carlos in the dead of night 20th May and thus began on 21st May the operation to help pave the way for you and your mates to come in a year later for a piss up and then puff out your chest when you got back to the UK and claim you were "on the point" or some other crap 
Anyway your a fake so thats that lets get on to the merits of the question by Derbyflan. I can understand where he is coming from as I know him personally having served with him for many years and him and his wife being our best freinds. He is passionate about animal welfare as am I. I dont think for a minute he was judging the Spanish people but like anyone who loves animals would be upset to see dogs and cats in distress and that cannot be difficult to understand. And for your information he has done a dam sight more than you and I put together in the name of British forces abroad but unlike you is not full of himself so would never put you right. Your jibe about him "maybe doing 28 years in the canteen" was so far off the mark it is untrue. I am sure the next time he is bent over some mass murder grave in Kosovo on a baking hot day beating away the flies at the start of another dig and body recovery operation he will smile at your stupidity. The next time he sees a Bosnian mother curled up in a ball dead with her baby held to her chest in her futile attempts to protect the child he will smile at your stupidity before he stoops to recover them and I could go on and on but it isnt my place and he will probably be mad at me for what I have said already.
Sorry mate but this bloke needed putting right Anyway, see you in the Sundowner bar in Luxor next month Derbyflan

Re: Treatment of animals in Spain
Smarties, we've known each other long enough for you to know that it'd take a hell of a lot more than that for you to make me mad
And it isyour round this time. I got them in for you in Cuba and last year in Egypt
Do us a favour though mate, don't respond to the post made above this one. I don't want jdr to lock the thread again as he's already been kind enough to unlock it at my request.
I just hope sensible posters will continue to share their experiences of what they've encountered in Spain with regards to animal welfare.
