Well, yes, but El País in English reports, in translation, El País stories. At least Typically Spanish, my own site(s) and a host of others, in choosing material from a broad spectrum of sources, do so in consideration of what might be useful for our guiri readership.

Well it appears there is a new web publication on Spain, The Local (already running in other European countries). I have to say that on first impressions it blows the competition, certainly my site, out of the water. Maybe Typically Spanish will also admit defeat?

http://www.thelocal.es/

Well the first article is a bit misleading, about the Iberia strikers' " British go home" banners - of course it is British AIRWAYS they are upset with, not Brits as a whole! Otherwise yes, it looks pretty good.

yes and seems to have a number of items repeated and repeated down the page. A lazy tactic used by the E and DM to fill space.

At this moment Howard doesn't need to worry, at least he has the website up, even if it isn't saying much.
Remember the early months of Classic FM back in 1992 when they weren't ready to go live but broadcast test transmissions of birdsong and other country sounds for 3 months - one of the most listened to unclassified pieces of broadcasting in the world.

Its better to get it out and correct it later than not get it out at all.

those British Go Home banners got alot of "air time" on the news reports on Spanish TV yesterday.

considering IAG has posted a €1billion loss
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/n...s-hit-1bn.html
due to the loss making activities of Iberia
In most other arenas (except for the banks) losses of such magnitude would mean they would all lose their highly paid jobs not just the 15% that is being looked for.

It was said at the time of the merger into IAG that Iberia would be a millstone and would have to change drastically, well now is the time.

Not very wise at all and can easily be interpreted either way, especially by new arrivals.

Personally I don't think they care much how it's interpreted as the hardcore of them seem to be a fairly ignorant lot.

It's partly down to their conduct over a great many years that the company is on it's knees.

Don't know about T.S admitting defeat, but if thelocal es goes as well as thelocal se has done for a great many years, especially the forum, when it gets going, I can see BE taking a bit of a beating.

wash your mouth out.....

Website up? When I check it out it just comes back as error.

I think 'The Local' looks great. Good luck to them!

What with, 103 or Larios Gin ?

Flickers of life .... hopefully the home page will be displaying news lists fairly soon. An encouraging sign is that the advertising seems to be working...

Really weird when I go in via this link Typically Spanish site comes up but when I go in via my saved link from before I get a "this site cannot be found" message! Don´t understand it.

just replace your saved link with http://www.typicallyspanish.com and it should be alright

That is what the original one was! Odd.
