    G'day Ron, from this writeup I'd much rather bump into an Aussie on walkabout than an upset Brit!

    Ahhhh - the wingeing pom!

    A well known and, unfortunately, common (in both senses of the word) feature of this part of Spain.

    I'm certain that those who are here as part of a package holiday spend the time between games of Bingo discussing what to complain about next - and how much should they sue for.

    How else can you explain - the salad contained olives, the buffet lunch was cold, we couldn't get ITV or BBC on the hotel TVs, we had to leave our hotel keys at reception every time we went out, we weren't allowed to go swimming because there was a little red flag on a pole, the pavements got so hot I burnt my feet and many more.

    You might not like what I say - but I believe it.
    Build it, make money, then build some more
    Some old school smarts would help - and here's to Rob Toth for his help. Bloody good stuff, even the freebies!

      This reminds me of a show some time back as to why some British immigrants returned home from Australia. The one that got me was that the birds (flying variety) were too loud!

    They were probably upset that the water went down the drain in the wrong direction.
