I was near HERE once when the Yanks had to bring in water by ship when the Canadians cut off the water supply to them.
So it is world wide thing. lol

In the GOOD OLD DAYS when Britain used to build ships, then new tankers outbound to the Gulf would deliver water to Gibraltar.

I like it even though it does smell bad and a bit dirty. I would like to go back in March and go and see the monkeys. xx:)

Only the Gibraltarians like this hole, everyone else who works here that I know tolerate the place, but would never claim it is nice, or anything like that in all honesty!
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!!

The article says it was the other way around


In 1949, there was talk about Point Roberts seceding from the USA and joining Canada. By 1973 there were tensions between the American and Canadian residents of Point Roberts. The Americans had threatened to cut off the Canadians' water supply, and hung up signs saying "Canadians Go Home." [7]

That is the very 1st time, perhaps even the 1st time on the internet, that anyone has said the reason they like (?) gib is because of sausages!!!!

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.
