This is getting pretty serious. More serious than I ever would've expected. I hope this doesn't extend further than just a war of words...

We shall see...

That dark red sprinter van at the back has been there over a hour

The report on the border queues on the BBC lunchtime news today fell a bit flat - they were saying vehicles including tourist buses had been queuing for five hours then a bus went past (with no passengers on it!) and they tried to ask one car driver how long she'd been queuing. She looked away, covered her face with her hand, obviously not wanting to comment, and the man sitting next to her leaned over and said "one hour". I don't remember the presenter saying much after that.

Are you suggesting that people may be afraid to talk, fearing reprisals?
If that's true, this just isn't right. Really.
And they always laugh if I suggest Spain has anything in common with North Africa.

What then, was the point of your post? I was just following your lead.

A little bit of interesting information is that all Gibraltarians can go to the UK for higher education, apply for students loans from the UK, and then the Gib Government pay these off. It was on Wikipedia, if I have this wrong.

Something else you've totally misinterpreted.
