10 things about Spain that may surprise you




1.  Croquets, they mix in mushrooms, or bacon, or cheese, pollo etc etc   tasty

2. The pavements are ceramic tiled  PINK

3. Spanish are short and noisy, talk all over each other. Spanish women use 42,000 words a day, twice as many as their English counterparts and 6 times more than me !!!!! Dress sense is like the Co Op 1950.

4. Houses dont have dustbins, streets have bins at certain distances communal, emptied every night.

5.Sea food is bigger and tastier

6. Spanish like noise, engine, bongo drum music, fireworks

7. Not many speak English  only the well educated minority. Even the computer internet is all Spanish.

8. Very bureaucratic, in triplicate, jobs worth, baloney. Manana is the motto of the day, every day.

9. Every day is hot, even when Mr Blue Sky has a siesta

10.  They build  and build, but dont complete, till they got some more Euros. Construction is concrete pillars and girders, filled in by terracota air bricks, no plaster, drills have to be on 2 speed hammer to rawlplug. Electricity has no plug fuses, no earth two pin 220 volts.
