Gibraltar's National Dish
Telephone conversations between Cloti and Cynthia
Apathy rules the Rock
Caramba, el apathy is killing Gibraltar, que poca
vergüenza, Cynthia mia.
What's the problem, Cloti dear?
Pues, haven't you heard, que el meeting de los Seniors was almost
empty, nobody cares about anything in our Gibraltar these days, I
must say, and what do you say?
That I quite agree, blimey, with all the good work put in by the
committee and when members have to attend a meeting once a year they
stay away, oh dear.
Pero everyone is front of the queue to get the goodies!
Es que esta todo boca abajo, my dear. Mi darling husband has shown
me a paper called GibLive! which describes itself as Gibraltar's
'entertainment newspaper', pero there's a big headline that says
Marrache Brothers Denied Bail...
...I know what you are going to tell me, que tiene que ve a serious
court case con 'entertainment', verdad my dear?
And what I have been reading about uniforms, que verdad. And I would
take it further, porque there are so many different uniforms in this
Rock, que we no longer know what's what.
No solo eso, pero los policemen and other official bodies should
have distinctive uniforms, that is to say, that others should not be
allowed to look alike, con esos yellow reflective cover-ups that
draw no distinction.
Claro. Se escapa un criminal, se pone un yellow reflective cover-up,
and we think he is a cop!
Bueno hija, I hope you enjoyed yourself on Commonwealth Day, aunque
con tanta agua, es mejor dejar los holidays for the summer. Ta...
Adiós blancaflor...
