@rockfallgib @YourGibraltarTV and, if you want to post a letter to anywhere other than the UK (let’s say Malaga, for instance) … well, it has to go to the UK first

[Sol y Sombrero @SolySombrero]

@rockfallgib @YourGibraltarTV Sadly Picardo was ‘economical with the verité’ when last asked about this.
Letter now leave Gibraltar every Saturday (only) and are then driven to Madrid where they enter the postal system

@KaelanJoyce Gibraltar has always been ‘about the money’! Didn’t you know that?

[Sol y Sombrero @SolySombrero]

@KaelanJoyce O yes it will- it’s already been decided

[Sol y Sombrero @SolySombrero]

@tonyevans88 Why are there only 3 gates open, when are a possibility of 5 (or is it 6?)?
There are people sitting behind the BA desk opposite doing nothing - surely they could man the desks?

[Sol y Sombrero @SolySombrero]

@tonyevans88 Couldn’t agree more - but passing through Gibraltar airport is a lesson in how NOT to do things
Why do we have to wait till 2 hours before the plane leaves? Let’s make it 3 hours so there’s no anxiety. And people can get upstairs and spend some money in the cafe etc

[Sol y Sombrero @SolySombrero]

@tonyevans88 And Customs! Sadly just looking like labourers in their High Viz Vests

[Sol y Sombrero @SolySombrero]

@reb_calderon It’s a good ‘account’ - but the real issue is not this debacle, but the gross corruption that precipitated it

[Sol y Sombrero @SolySombrero]

@tonyevans88 I do hope that this, and a future government are reading and noting your posts. So much here is important to Gibraltar and so many of the ideas are easy fixes

[Sol y Sombrero @SolySombrero]

@KaelanJoyce Is it the same people voting again and again?

@FilmsRadiance Wasn’t Miami Blues announced/issued a couple of years ago

[Sol y Sombrero @SolySombrero]

@tonyevans88 Let me suggest that you start a list/page/blog etc., iteming all the things that this or the next government should address/add/fix or admit to

I’m sure you could get a couple of other X posters to help

[Sol y Sombrero @SolySombrero]

@tonyevans88 @reb_calderon Absolutely- time to means test government housing.
If you’ve a big new Range Rover, with personalised number plate, then you shouldn’t be in subsidised accommodation

[Sol y Sombrero @SolySombrero]

@tonyevans88 Plan?! There’s never been a ‘plan’ for any of it! No forward thinking at all. Just look at the fiasco at the border and airport

[Sol y Sombrero @SolySombrero]

@tonyevans88 They had months and months to plan for this. Instead we just got a Niagara of Waffle and self aggrandisement. The loop still exists and we still enter Gibraltar by skirting the parking in La Línea, and going between the old gate posts. It’s a sad and pathetic compromise

@johnsweeneyroar @Waterstones Signed copies?

[Sol y Sombrero @SolySombrero]

@rockfallgib @KaelanJoyce @GBCNewsroom It’s not the Manilva link that worries me - it’s Pici’s appalling and unstatesmanlike clothing. Enough said about the thoroughly nasty T shirt, but did you see the shoes?? And the mirrored blue sunglasses?? I’m sure they’re all the rage in Torremolinos- but not a public broadcast

[Sol y Sombrero @SolySombrero]

@GBCNewsroom The queue is ‘about 50 minutes’ FFS!

@LibraryThing @sarahstankorb @broadleaf_books I’m getting a error message when I ‘Add Books’

@KaelanJoyce @GBCNewsroom Welcome to ‘Trumpian’ Gibraltar- very similar situation to the White House! Pici does exactly what he wants, regardless
