    If the Spanish followed Gibraltar's lead perhaps 27 percent of them wouldn't be unemployed. The delays at the border crossing do nothing to help the inhabitants of La Limea.

    *1 la linea..brush up on your spanish.

    Spain does not need to get its hands dirty with bunkering and its
    filthy business. Spain has the port of Algeciras to provide plenty of jobs for many Spaniards ...it does not need Gibraltar to tell it how to provide employment.

    3. Really? Spain doesn't need help with reducing its unemployment? Have you been to Algeciras recently or are you living on fantasy island?

    “Gibraltar with port fee and re-fuelling discounts to attract cruise business”

    and who the f*ck would want to go to gibraltar when you can go to sotogrande, for instance?
    to watch a bunch of llanitos + a bunch of apes, you can go to the zoo.
    that would be more than enough.

    @8. Gib is a great place to visit. The people are warm and friendly and there's always plenty to do and see. It' a much better place than S pain.
