Yeah the Spanish are very big on smoking. They only banned smoking on their airlines and the madrid underground about 6 years ago.
Its amusing to see cafes and bars here with signs saying "you are allowed to smoke here" where as in the UK its heavilly illegal..

Stil according to league tables, the spanish have a higher life expectancy than the british!

Must be the mediterranean sun

Don't the people in Spain concern about their health? It doesn't seem so, when I notice the number of people smoking even walking in the streets.

I'm really surprised about this as I thought is green & a healthy place to live.
I was making a play on words, when I was talking abut being green. I thought that some of you who are quite fluent inSpanish would have twigged.

I will explain what I meant. To be green has a meaning similar to BLUE in English as in blue movies or blue jokes..... In Spanish we say GREEN.

Chistes verdes - are Blue jokes, as in near the knuckle.
Un viejo verde - is a dirty old man.........

We as they say it was lost in translation......

They certainly don't care about leaving their car engines running while they pop in the shop or chat with someone in the street - usually stopped in the middle of the road

You could also run a cable from the street light to your house so no electricity bills for you. One more cable outside would hardly be noticed

Fixed my little green contribution.
Set up an old push-bike on chocks with the old girl in the saddle peddling furiously away to power the old genny so I can watch match of the day.
She gets her half time break and glass of orange juice of course same as the players.
Works wonders for her figure,only problem is she's cream crackered come bedtime.

I hope the Spanish are not as green as the British. Here we now stock pile our green waste in large warehouses, because no one wants it, and we cannot send it to landfill. At what cost to the tax payer?

Of course after the smoking ban was introduced in the UK, all the pubs seemed to install patio heaters, so smokers could brave the cold air. Heating the atmosphere doesn't seem very green to me. There again, most pubs appear to be closing anyway, so problem solved!
