Well, quite right too. The subject was about an article in Essential Marbella written by the Marbella Business Institute criticizing Piers Morgan's TV show about the city and mentioning in particular a couple who thought that '...If you ask the average Spaniard on the street’, says Mrs E, ‘even today, the average Spaniard will say ‘hold on a minute, he fed us…’’. But Mr E is talking, ‘no, not a hero, but… his heart was in the right place’.
As Wikipedia tells us...
'Gil was famous and controversial for his extreme right-wing political views, summed up in a unique brand of foulmouthed, low-brow populism punctuated by sexist, homophobic, racist and xenophobic remarks and, occasionally, by pre-democratic nostalgia'.
My blog notes the damage done to Marbella by the TV show, the newspaper couple interviewed, and a blog written by a local blues musician who more or less raises the same points.

Not sure what your on about but I was under the impression Marbella had a bad reuputation anyway since the 70`s at least?

Lenox

You will accept that the Marbella Business Institute - and presumably most of Marbella's residents - would prefer to see the city's image improve.
Can't blame them for that.

To explain, Lenox posted a link to his blog on this subject which I had to remove

Because of the mistakes in his grammar? I agree.

Although, a forum should be the exchange of information - even when it's in a (non-commercial!) blog. Methinks.
I've lived here for over 40 years and am a writer - sometimes even by profession.
I should also point out, my main blog has (among many other attractions) a series of interesting links about Spain for anyone interested or curious about life in this country. Including, naturally, a selection of useful forums.

I could post it but as Rugby-chappie said "the mistakes in his grammar".
Lenox; Maybe do a blog on this forum too?

Well, I've fiddled about but no luck so far. I think if you click on my name you get a link.
