I'm not sure what you like about Gibraltar, but whatever it is, good for you. Personally, and everyone I know who spends a fair amount of time here, will tell you it is a horrible, grubby little place run by little hitlers and wannabee playboys!!

Not fond of sausages and certainly not Walls ones.

However Fish n chips " Roy's Cod Plaice" in Casemates Square is well worth a visit.

however we cam upon quite a nice pub, forgot the name, tables outside, cute resident cat, i think it was around the convent area. SUPERB fry up, which after we had been a while in Spain, was a nice change, just the once mind you, wasnt being too "british" if you know what i mean!

Back to the original post.

Today the Policia local were to be seen playing with their Motorbikes at the roundabout by the Club Nautico but were taking no interest in the traffic queue which extended maybe 500 meters back beyond the point where they were diverting it in previous days.

That place is the very epitome of all that is wrong with Gibraltar! Fat, sunburnt brits on holiday, displaying their cheap tattoos whilst exposing as much flesh as possible, venturing abroad to eat grease ridden fish and chips in a dirty square before going to buy some fags and booze :rofl:

Okay I will stop now, each to their own and all that!

There is a lot more to Gibraltar than Main Street. All those fat Brits have come from Spain, they will have gone by 4pm. I wouldn't like to live there but it's not all bad.

I would suggest to be at the border for 8, as long as you know where you are going to park once inside.

Be careful leaving the car at Morissons, there is a 2 hour limit for shoppers only, and they are clamp happy!
I would park in the ICC for convenience, or up near kings bastion for the other end of the high street.

Yes, they are clamp happy but only because so many people abuse it.

I was clamped after 3 hours, rang the number on the ticket, a guy turned up within 2 minutes and looked at the Morrison's bill and unclamped us and apologised for any inconvenience.
