According to my family who live in la linea, diesel is now cheaper in Spain. Those travelling from Gib to Spain must have proof as to why they want to enter eg appointment, or must have a confirmation of hotel booking, the police have cottoned on to some booking a hotel, getting a booking reference, then cancelling the booking, this did work but the police are now phoning the hotels for confirmation .
The family now say there is no advantage in going to Gib, they have stopped going.
Morrisons supermarket. My wife has told me this with some authority and insight on the matter. I just drive her there and plead for a travel time of the day (in and out) that avoids the worst queues.May I ask, what is the attraction of Gibraltar?, other than visiting friends?
I'll be crossing tomorrow on my pushbike so hopefully no issues.![]()

Strange, I spent a couple of years in Gib between 79 and 83, living in DTR, Sheppard's and Governors Parade. Knew a couple of guy's 'sentenced' to the castle, and most people took a smoke but never once saw or heard of junkies shooting up anywhere on the rock......Spent 2 years in Gib 83-85..didn't particularly like it..spent most weekends clearing all the crap out by Moorish Castle..where all the junkies went to shoot up..took us 18 months of hard graft..it was a nice place for the tourists..5 years later it was a dump again..
As for the locals..it depended what day of the week it was as to if they were British or not..
If I never went back again it would be too soon.....
Awaiting incoming flak...
Please do update usI'll be crossing tomorrow on my pushbike so hopefully no issues.
We wanted to ride up to the top of the rock, £18 each for a ticket.
So road down to the tip and around through the tunnel back to the start.
No problems this morning. Loads of cars queuing but I cycled through and was asked where I was staying, I simply said 'auto caravanas' and stampety stamp, on yer bike son.I'll be crossing tomorrow on my pushbike so hopefully no issues.
We need a photo to confirm that assertion.Forgot to mention the Cruises in my earlier post, it’s not unusual in the better months to have 3/4 Cruise ships in port at the same time and of course they all embark in the morning so all of a sudden you have 10/12000 people wandering around like lost soles and all them old folk wear them canvas type beech shoes looking bloody ridiculous. I’m an old sod but my god l don’t look like this lot![]()
