Will be taking a fortnight off early in March, and will spend it at my flat just east of Málaga. Will at some stage spend some time on the Costa Del Sol front (from Torremolinos down to Cadiz) to see old friends, basically Spanish teachers who used to come to Norfolk. And as always, a day will not go by with me seeing Britons...(and not all will be commoners who spent half a crown on the airfare) who will raise their voices, uttering monosyllabics v-e-r-y s-l-o-w...and louder by the second when they hear 'no comprende, señor/señora'. Could it be possible for Spaniards to also implement some rule, with anyone from the UK who has either retired, won the National Lottery or counted his money after winding up his drug-business/bank robbing (the latter displayed in a film called 'The Business') having to learn and remember at least a hundred words of Spanish? Summat tells me us Brits'll be up in arms, with the media also eager to assist with their usual contempt.
