Hi lazy days

There is work in Gibraltar but there are thousands of Spaniards who live close by looking for it, so it is not so easy to come by.
The only agencies I am aware of are looking for people with qualifications, usually in the gaming / IT areas.

You would be better here on the ground looking, but be prepared not to succeed.

there also seem to be a number of accountancy jobs but then a job advertised is not necessarily a real job

as to general labouring, as you say plenty of Spaniards sitting on the border waiting for the nod

I was told today by an Eroski employee that they are to open a new supermarket in the redundant Tesco premises, before Christmas, maybe there are vacancies ??

You could always apply ( a bit late ) to be an extra in the new series of " New Tricks" and act with Rodney / Dave
