The Pull of The Paper

We have just finished hosting an elderly relative at our place in Spain. This involved driving him around, and sourcing his idea of Spanish holiday bliss. This consisted of finding an English Bar, where the staff speak to him in English, English football on TV and today's copy ( absolutely not yesterdays'copy) of the British tabloid "The Daily Mirror".

Well we achieved all that, though I'm really not convinced that he had a good time, despite it being Fiesta fortnight and a really big spectacle. Of course, all this excess of English language
exposure, did inevitably lead to an unfortunate Daily Mirror incident for my partner. Despite heaping scorn on the UK tabloid press and working hard at blending in with the Spanish way of life, he could not help himself!
