Re: Sympathy anyone?
For once I think we are almost all in agreement.
The Portuguese hide behind the fact that the bull is not killed in the ring, that is the only difference between the two countries.
They hold regular events in the summer in the Albufeira bull ring, it appears that the only tourist group that still attends in any number are the Germans ???

Re: Sympathy anyone?
heh - Still spreading the hatred against an entire country I see.
But just look down any UK high street - you will see plenty of Spanish places expanding, whether it be Mango, Desigual, Zara or various tapas places.
Even the wifi router you use (if from BT) could well be supplied by a company Fon from Madrid.
When the Spanish devote their energies to something (see football) they have the talent and dedication to become world beaters. Yes the Brits (well English) have a lot of money in their Premier League, but what good has it done their national team?
I think the real resentment is that Spain has turned the corner in the recession by exporting more and becoming more competitive, whereas the UK has used Quantitive Easing and stoking up a house price bubble. Still very effective..but in the long run??

Re: Sympathy anyone?

But hey, yes, thread creep must be stamped out!!!!
