Re: Gibraltar 2
Thanks for the links Fred. V. Interesting articles.
How is Gib coping with Covid - I noticed that the commentators were wearing masks etc.
Also, has anything changed since we left the EU? I know you supported leave , how's it going with you. How will relations with Spain change?

Masks are compulsory in all shops etc but not in the street.
Saturday I had a couple visiting from Manchester, one being a doctor and was surprised to see that they put their masks on to walk through my house only to remove them on the balcony.
Ref EU everything is still the sameish but lets wait and see what the new year brings.
However if what the chief minister is claiming is true we may end up with most of the benefits the EU should have given us and failed to do so after we have left.
IRONIC

Gib is coping like all other places except we have had no deaths, however a frontier worker in her 40's died in La Linea this week

Note I posted "However if what the chief minister is claiming is true"
Also back when the frontier first reopened back in the eighties it was only Brits resident in Gib and Spaniards that could cross, other nationalities had to wait until Spain had joined the Common Market.

Re: Gibraltar 2
Can anyone give me an idea as to the TRUE cost of living in Gibraltar? Food, utilities, beer...etc. Am currently in the Cayman Islands (and loving it) but toying with Gibraltar as it's much closer to home. Thanks.

Re: Gibraltar 2
Food A little above the UK price but shopping in Spain reduces that.
Beer from £3.00 a pint and up
Housing https://www.propertygibraltar.com/
Potable Water Measured in units of 100 litres at £0.25p / unit up to 45 units, thereafter £0.64p / unit with a £3.00 standing charge I average out at 45 units / month, two people in a 3 bed flat
Electricity £08.8 / kwh + £4.00 standing charge again we average 380 units / month with the whole flat having aircon.
Also note toilets are flushed with salt water on a free supply.
Internet I pay £40.00 / month for a 500 Mbps second download 50 Mbps upload +free TV and free local telephone. However I have just spotted a charge of £39 / month but will wait and see
Hope this helps

I've read that Gibraltar could apply to be part of the Schengen area.
