No, you mean my mother is exagerrating a bit.

Is that what you mean?


And of course, what you're saying is simply that she's exaggerating when she
says she had to queue, in Barcelona, to report her purse having been
snatched.


No, I am not surprised she had to queue up, especially if she was in a
tourist area.

Interestingly, she said basically it's all British victims.


Heh. That is curious. Maybe I've never have a problem because I'm not
British ;-)

Yeah, I went to Barca back when Franco was still there. I seem to recall
they had a big pro-fascist rally recently, didn't they? Of course, it was
fascist until so recently that of course it'll still be full of the
supporters of fascism.


Most of the supporters of Franco are dead. I didn't arrive to Spain
until 11 years after his death.

You know, we used to have an awful racist problem at football grounds here.
But it is mostly gone, now. Probably at least in part because it costs so
much to get in these days. Still, they have made progress. I think this
nation has made progress. It's in the Spanish football grounds it's still an
awful problem today.


I don't follow "football", sorry. I don't go to the bull fights either.

And what it has to do with computing is that it all has to do with morality.
I love Spain, I love Spanish women and I love the language. For a little
while I loved that it promised a more honest society than ours, but that
part apparently went by the board. Just say Pinochet and Iraq.


Please don't get me started on Iraq.

Hard to see what you might think is exaggerated, anyway.


My point is that street crime is common to all big cities.

But not at all hard to see what you're really saying.

Shane


Nowadays, most of the street crime here is in the hands of Eastern
Europeans and South Americans. The Romanians enter your home, spray you
with a drug to keep you asleep and calmly rob you blind and then fix
themselves something to go with your wine that they just stole.

What's the world coming to?

I'm sure there are some new ones! There's a quite well-respected Italian
footballer who played here for a few years who turns out to be a fascist -
back in Italy gives fascist salutes, is pro-Mussolini. Disturbingly I don't
think his popularity has suffered significantly since revealing himself!

No, nor I. The bull fights, that is. One of the unsettling undercurrents of
times spent in Catalan France, also! Along with knowing that much of the
entire area was pro-Franco during the civil war! At least the Maquis
recovered some of it's honour during the Nazi occupation.

And what it has to do with computing is that it all has to do with
morality. I love Spain, I love Spanish women and I love the

Hard to know where to go to escape it!

Yes. Or anyway, most. I suppose it happens in London, but ours is more a
capital of embezzlement, that sort of thing. And yes, she mentioned a
certain Eastern European ethnic group.
