When a Spaniard says ‘tomorrow’ he means maybe next week or month, when he says ‘mañana.’ he means sometime in the next three months or more, when he says ‘soon’ it’s next year or the year after. 🙂 Imminent he would never understand.

Which is of course the usual unproveable prejudice.
I go into a Spanish bar and order a coffee (or a glass of beer) and it’s there before me in seconds, certainly before the equivalent in the UK has worked out how to navigate the keyboard on the till supplied by the pubco…
Or, on the other scale, how many years will it be before we can catch a fast train between 2 British cities? Maybe 2030 before the London to Birmingham link is built. Good job we have Spanish construction companies building the Crossrail link, or it’d never get completed…
I’m happy that you no longer have me on your Ignore list!
I will amend the post as I respect the board, not your opinion.
I’ve worked with Spanish people both in Spain and in the UK and had the privilege of working with extremely able and hard-working workers. I’ll trust my own experience over a talkboard troll anyday.
DB, I urge you to stick with the new style for a while. Once you get used to it you realise it’s much easier to read. It only seems harder to read because you are unfamiliar with it. Change is always traumatic 😀
Maybe it is just me, but I do use quite a lot of different talkboards, and this was the first time I found it difficult to read.
So thanks for the tip Mark, I’m back using the subsilver theme.
Have found the new design ok and getting used to it, but only just noticed the ‘thanks’ thing, so, what is that all about and where do I thank others please, haven’t worked that one out yet? Is it something we should do as a courtesy? 😕
I’m moving the Spanish property news flow from my blog to this forum, as you may have noticed. I’m going to use my blog to do more reports and features, less news flow.
I haven’t decided yet whether to put the news flow in a separate forum or a sub-forum of this one, or just leave it as it is. Any suggestions welcome.
