Try as I might, I just can't seem to summon much in the way of interest in this bit of news.......a case of a far away place of which we know little perhaps ?

But it may be of some concern to other ABers.

I feel the same way about Wales.

[sandyRoe]

Ah, I see the echo reference now.

[tonyav]

Blimey, wheres that, jno ?.

" case of a far away place of which we know little"

Spain? Seriously?

[jno]

I think it's out Swindon way, tonyav

[tonyav]

Blimey, that far, jno.

[berniecuddles]

gawd help us"king sqad" to take over...!!

[baza]

is it outside the M25?

[jno]

tonyav, they don't even talk English out there, though they have very kindly taken on one of our English princes.

echo jno:

so it is about as newsworthy as Scots independence ?

[Peter Pedant]

where sqad is - you can shop in Tesco in English.

[tonyav]

though they have very kindly taken on one of our English princes.


Yeah, I've heard about that, wondered if it was true.

Presumably the new King of Spain will have a coronation. What I want to know is - will our Queen attend ? I wonder if her advisers might fear that a trip to Spain might be too much for her. We may find out just how frail she is these days.

Would it be galling for Carlos if he had to go as her representative?
