Vote to leave Europe and then complain that you lost all benefits living in Benidorm

Brits in Spain are a truly strange bunch. Live in Spain for decades, cannot speak Spanish but complain about immigrants in the UK who manage to speak English.

Please tell me that the moment they start complaining about it you switch to Catalán, Gallego or (pretty please) Basco. Some of them do know Spanish, at least enough to get by, but I noticed that even though it's extremely similar they can't make the jump to Catalán (I'm new here and haven't had time to study Catalán just yet, but Spanish being my native tongue I can understand around 80% of what people tell me in Catalan, but I noticed that people who don't speak fluent Spanish can't make the jump from one language to the other that easily). I've never heard Gallego but I assume it's somewhat similar as well, but speaking to them in Basco would be just perfect.

[email protected] has some content in Catalan, just make sure to select the language in your account settings

Vote to leave the EU

FTFY.

The UK is still in Europe

Only because they couldn't figure out how to leave
