Only in Spain?

[gus-lopez]

Why do Spanish always have prison bars on their windows even the upstairs ones?

It is so we can leave all the windows & doors open for the fresh air without some toe rag* helping themselves. & they look nice

* Peavy toe rag =contemptible or worthless person . usually taken to mean someone not averse to stealing

Where we are in Alcoceber it seems that despite a full 5G phone signal shouting in Spanish day and night helps with communicating with each other.

So true, on speakerphone. Always make us smile. They also don’t send texts, just long and loud rambling voicemails in WhatsApp. My daughter gets them all the time.

But why on windows you can only access with a flipping great big ladder?

And this causes you to conclude "Forget Mars and Venus. I swear the Spanish are wired up differently."

Not just the Spanish we were in Spain over the winter Always thought all Germans and Dutch were nice, but I never speak about politics until they start on me, several of both nations had a go at me over Brexit " You British were wrong" another said "You are all poor" I said do you think so pointing at my Motorhome and where did you get that from ,this German said on the Television !! I Said " I can't repeat actual words I replied with , or I might get banned from this friendly site !!

I’m sorry to say I just nod my head and agree. It stops their flow, and anyway I do.

I think if you were to canvass any European nation on the wisdom or otherwise of that decision, those that have any opinion on the subject will probably by a 90:10 majority think that it was nuts.

So don't mention the war. (I did once, but I think I got away with it.)

Except the comments are tongue in cheek and not malicious.

Yes but most importantly it's free

They also have the 'anticipation gene' removed before they get into a motor car!

It gets put into a jar and remains at home until they have finished driving.

The cars they drive have to have the indicators flashing all the time and must not be driven more than ten feet from the leading car.

But I love the place!

Yes we visit their country (countries) and although love what we find there, but we can’t quite get our British heads around the fact that the people there there have a different culture and different way of life.
