Most of my friends know my views on Gibraltar, but it got two positive points within the last 24 hours.
A girl ´phoned me from one of my banks there and told me she was my "new" relationship manager. Nice to have a bank that actually gives a s**t, even if they don´t have a decent ´phone app yet.
She was very friendly and chatty and during the conversation she mentioned that she actually lived in Gib and that her parents had already had the jab. I was impressed, but as G pointed out, they were being treated as if they were the UK, so speeding along with the vaccine (or vac-seen as I keep hearing it pronounced on tv).
In today´s press, the junta were trumpeting the fact that they were moving on to vaccinating the over-80s (unsurprisingly ran out of over-90s fairly quickly) and that they were planning to achieve up to one hundred per day in Mijas. Bloody yippee. The following paragraph stated that Mijas had started vaccinating the over-90s yesterday, so either there were less than 100 over-90s in the municipality, or the report was garbage. Garbage is my bet.
We only have 85000 residents in all, with a fair proportion of them elderly. On a "normal" distribution, this puts about 8500 in each of the over 70s and over 80s, so I guess I can expect my call in somewhere around 100 days time.
That almost exactly corresponds with my original estimate of "maybe before June if we are lucky".
Bloody hell, I might get a call from Gibraltar before that as I have money that is resident there.
.... but I bet the spanish are seriously p***d off at Gib being ahead of them
