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.

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!

The Angry Friar is opposite the Convent and has a good pub menu and the odd polished bronze cannon alongside

Have a look at the map HERE as I can`t post attachments on this site for some reason.
At the same time I got some stick from the customs as I had some tools in my boot while on the way to a picnic and he said how do I know you are not going to work in the US of A.

please!

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

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.
