They say that there are basically three ways for the Brits in Spain to make ends meet - either from funds from 'back home' (rent, transfers, pensions and what have you) or making some business here in Spain (very difficult to do) or, of course, relying on your wits - which generally means ripping off fellow Brits.
Indeed, in all the time I've been here, it's always been the Brits (or in one case, my wife's family) who emptied my wallet.
Still, as I slowly eat my Christmas Welsh Rarebit, I think, should I forgive them all?
Nah.
