It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.

Could spend hours on this site. It's brilliantly designed and easy to use. For example, you can click on 'Sign' in the tab menu, then 'Ghost' to filter the area's old shop and building names.
I love the entry for one of Soho's oldest Italian restaurants, 'Isola Bella'.

For those bleating about ID cards in the UK (the Tories are against them).
In Spain it's a legal requirement to have one (aged 14+). It's not mandatory to carry it at all times, but most do.
The card makes dealing with town halls, the police, health services, buying a car/property etc WAY EASIER.
