Things we hate about Spain?

Hmmm!

Whinging foreigners who forget whose country they're in?

Imagine if a group of Pakistanis listed on a forum: "Things we hate about Britain".


What would your response be?

Double parking.
Drivers who never use indicators.
Thin pavements with large lamposts or trees planted bang straight in the middle, so you have to walk in the road to get around them when pushing a pram.

Hi Cas del sol! The first 2 points sounds like the UK too! On the 3rd point they are more likely to cut the tree down and build yet another unwanted office block on it! LOL!
