Gibraltar is like Marmite.

Yes indeed he was...until I came along to cross all his tees and dot all his eyes for him.
After all someone has to step forward and put the record straight, properly, and in detail, and once and for all.

Have you got the Corniche shined up ready for the grand tour?

Honeymooned in Gib for 1 week followed by Tangier for 1 week 44 years ago. Both of us got the trots on second day, topped up by tangier trots on second week. Saw nothing of Tangier & very little of Gib. We were both ill for 3 weeks after returning home.
To top it all wife got pregnant & for the life of me I cannot work out how the hell that happened considering the state we were in.

Persuaded the wife that we could sail to Gib for our 40th anniversary. Thence to the Med. Bought a new boat to do it.
Got to la Rochelle & she jumped on a plane & b..gered off home, telling me to go to Gib on the b..dy boat on my own if I wanted. She had enough of the French & boats.

So I turned round & sailed home on my own & that is when I realised I really liked single handed sailing. She plays golf I go sailing. We get on really well when we meet.

Hello Stu, I know...everyone keeps asking as it is a truly iconic vehicle...

It is off road at the moment, being fettled.

Starter motor problems, undercarriage repaint, radio being rewired.

Back on the road soon I hope, open top, for the summer. :encouragement:

Ha Ha, funny. :encouragement:

This business of the trots has mercifully gone out of fashion these last few years.

I think, personally, the trots arrive due to sudden change of climate plus sudden change of diet combined.

But you ought to have popped in to one of our pharmacies at the time. You could have obtained over the counter (without a prescription) a patent remedy that has stood the test of time and cuts it in two days.

It is a Spanish remedy rather like Rennies, not unlike, packed in a pink box containing three airtight plastic tubes containing them. These are circular lozenges you suck gently and they do the trick. Brand name LACTEOL. Highly recommended. Also essential kit for the first aid box on board.
