I'm in Formentera, and it's bloody lovely.

Just got back from 2 weeks over there visiting family and clocked up 1000km visiting Torrevieja, Nerja, and Jerez. You're right it's not England, the weather is lovely, the people are generally friendly and cheerful, and the lifestyle is infinitely better.

No, thank God!

Up the Albion!
Donkeys Flip Flop aint what it used to be though, nor is the Mad Monk.
No, it's all change over there.
I was devastated when Ye Olde Rock closed!
No longer is Gib the sailors den of iniquity that it used to be.
I'd still rather be there than here though!!

The weather might be nicer and all that, but I couldn't bear not going to Falmer every other week, and most away games. I know Spain has it's own football teams, and, I hear, some of them play to a reasonable standard (even if they do dress up in Palarse kits), but they're not the Albion, are they!
Could live near an airport, though, I suppose....

Great place for a holiday and heat.
But love the UK, and seeing our football live.

It's horrible isn't it. Like some one broke off a bit of Portsmouth and towed it into the mediterranean.
I'm going to diagree here. I lived there for many years, came back to the UK and can't wait to get back again.
I do miss Saturday afternoons at Home Park though. Of course, having said that, we may not have a club to go and see anyway for much longer.

I'm in Marbella and it's a rather splendid 31c today.
I won't ask what its like in Blighty today - a bit windy I heard.

Exactly this. Gib is a dusty shithole, although it is hot. The only thing mildly interesting is the odd sight of British bobbies speaking (and looking) Spanish. Oh and the monkeys.
That said, there must be a reason why the Gilbraltarian natives are so fiercely British and anti-Spanish, and I'm not talking about the armed forces personnel stationed out there. I reckon it's the fact they don't pay any duty on ciggies.

Mmm, ok, I'm only a guest here originally registered to say thanks for your help with FansReunited, so I won't get into a massive discussion, but I will jump to the defence of Gibraltar.
Firstly, thery're not proper monkeys, they're Barbary Macaques.
Secondly, it's not that dusty!!
Forgot to add, you forgot to mention petrol. Not much in the way of duty on that either!
