There would be a mix of people in, I remember the chairman of Findus frozen foods used to go in. Great British food and puddings too. Not the same now though

Read this Blog on Why Spain is 'rotten to the core' with British Criminals ... I tend to agree here !

Quite humorous with an element of truth I suppose, but misleading in some respects.

The reporter initially gave the impression it was probably not a genuine story and rather some sort of dubious Hartlepool wind-up, however it now appears to have been correct, probably caused by the victim himself and said by the police not to be terrorist related.
