Brexit: Gibraltar angered by Spain's EU 'veto'

[shaunbhoy]

Be careful what you wish for. You're only one Scotsman away from being the thickest CUKker.

Well as that opinion only persists in the small bubble of YOUR befuddled consciousness, I won't lose too much sleep over it.

[scooterscot]

Quite!

Having been to Gibraltar, it is a very odd place indeed.

how so?

[SueEllen]

how so?

To be fair while PurpleGorilla, himself, is odd all the 5 people I personally know and remember who worked there said the same thing. While 2 of them where odd the other 3 weren't.

AssSnob is Scottish?

how so?

Gibraltar's economy being partially dependent on gambling, he probably didn't like the odds.

[PurpleGorilla]

how so?

Have you been there?


You have to drive through La Linear (sp) which is an absolute armpit, then cross a border (not so straight forwards even in EU) walk across a runway, then it's cramped and quirky. A bit British a bit Spanish, very military. There isn't much there, it's not very pretty, and all in all its just a huge oddity.

Having stood at the top it's not as geographically significant as people make out. It's just very very odd. Would I live there? No way!

I bet the Brexit deplorables didn't see this Gibraltar thing coming

Nope. Been on the to do list. Sounds like I should move it further down the list.

It's well worth a day trip or a long weekend.
