Tam, Jade and Franky's European Adventure

[bellabee]

What's the story with Jade's teeth Tam? I thought dogs only had one set and why did 2 come out at the same time.

No, dogs have baby teeth, just like humans. She'd just teething ang will now grow her full-sized gnashers!

That's a relief.

Hi Tam, you had me fooled too-I really am back on UK soil and it is grey and wet - re Jade's teeth, you probably won't see any gaps as it's usually the new teeth pushing up from underneath that finally loosen and dislodge the baby teeth.
I think leaving Jade in the van when you visit the apes would be a very wise precaution, they would love nothing more than to snatch her and make off with her. Doesn't bare thinking about.

So after Morrisons robbed me blind in the shop lol ....honestly £36 for 4 x 1 litre bottles of squash, 1 20 pack of walkers crisps, 1 jar of coffee , 2 jars of peanut butter, a pack of cheese, some foam kitchen wipe cloth thingies, 1 shower gel and 2 bottles of crap cola for the waste tank .....i can buy 2 full shops in mercadona for that so I'll do a real shop when I'm back out of gib.

Only good think was the diesel at 83p a litre so I filled the tank


Up at Europa point now managed to squeeze franky in beside an old abandoned hymer and 2 buses so not technically a space but I don't think I'll get grief for parking it here a few hours.

Here's a couple of pics from here then I'm gonna go and see how I get up this rock a wee bit.


Scrub that the internet's poor so I'll do pics later.

Everything in Gib is expensive, Currys in the UK is cheaper than their duty free shops. All small shops, don't have the buying power and survive on gullable tourists thinking they are getting a bargain 'caus it's duty free.

I'm right at the most southernly point of gib at the minute i wanted to drive the van in so not in any of the aires although I did look at the 4€ a night one on the way in so might end up there tonight

We did one night in each only went into Gib with the van for fuel 2 years ago it was 55p/Lt.

I take it that you don't need any of the stuff required to bring a dog back to the UK from Europe. Or did they not notice you had a dog?

Yes I've ended up back out of gib with the van as from where I was parked it was miles from the bit to get up the rock.

They never asked but I do have her passport etc anyway.

Basically I avoid anywhere that involves queuing

 

[Northernraider]

Ha ha I laughed at that in Morrison's...15 checkouts and only 1 with someone working it ...so I said that out loud it's easy to see we are on UK soil it goes back to crap service and overpricing

I don't think there's any danger of the apes taking a dog... the local dogs certainly don't have problems. They only want food and dogs aren't on the menu!

My husband worked in Gibraltar on and off for a few years and we always found it to be busy. Very lively with lots of noise and bustle.

I once came back to the hotel to find an ape in our room busy trashing the place. I shouted at it and it ran back the way it had come, which was out of the window. When I looked outside I could see dirty marks from their bodies all along wall where they'd walked along the pipework which was fixed to the outside of the hotel (The Rock Hotel) to get in. The windows were the sliding type and, unless you gave them a really hard shove, they didn't lock shut. The apes obviously cottoned on to this an every day went foraging in the rooms. The balcony below us was strewn with their ill-gotten gains! Only food, obviously.

Well I did more than a double take there.

"Back on British soil" I thought I've missed something here. I even scrolled back two or three pages and then I saw the bottom pic.

Doh!

Enjoy your stay.

Yup, I had that sinking feeling too ...


Just a thought ... can you get your MOT done in Gibraltar, save coming back to the UK?

When it becomes part of Spain again maybe, I can understand the historical reasons for visiting but nothing else.

 

[Northernraider]

@Northernraider been kidnapped by a Orange seller ?

Right, I've got to ask. What's the joke with orange sellers?

Actually whilst I'm at it I've a few more questions about things I have read on here but don't know what they mean.

What is a FLT?

What does tag axle on a van mean?

What makes a van an A class?

What ointment is best for an itchy bum?

Oh dear no hope for you if you can't even get to grips with the basics.

P.S. if you put orange sellers together with chair girls you should be able to work it out.

 

[tacr2man]

1. Orange sellers (ladies of the night , alternative day job)
2. Free loading T#$$e& (free campers)
3. third axle , not necessarily driven but load carrying reason

As tacr2man said.
Q5. Depends on the bum and the chase if the itch. If caused by too many visits to the orange sellers then a visit to the quack is recommended.
Otherwise,try Sudocrem,it’s good for nappy rash,so works for most minor itches.
You need to make sure an itchy bum doesn’t turn into a pain in the arse.
Please do not,I repeat do not,ask about gassing,which is nothing to do with le posterior.
