Port (the fortified wine) comes from Portugal.
As does the Vauxhall/Opel Combo van, the 1995-2006 Ford Galaxy, VW Sharan and Seat Alhambra, and the new VW Eos.
I believe they've got a football team too, which had something to do with Wimbledon being on BBC2 this evening, not BBC1 where it belongs, but I'm not sure.

Ha ha! Talk about sour grapes! You seriously gonna boycott a country cos you losta match? Maybe next time your players shouldn't be stomping on other peopl'es balls. Just an idea. You were never good enough to win the Cup and now you've been sent home. Boo-hoo.

That's why you english love to move over to the Algarve and live the lifestyle - because England has nothing but rain and pubs.
