I beg to differ. Remoteness is relative. What is the point of being close to the next village if it brings you no closer to clarity?

It’s an investment.

You can always borrow the E-boat from the war museum and do a re-enactment.

I’ll be cheering you on.

1. No, I had to pay for my own education (whilst working and paying tax and NI to boot), hence the Ghoxrin Punt and I have no kids who will benefit.

2. Yes, always went private.

3. No, never took anything, still working and still funding others.

4. Yes probably, with the way things are going.

So I pretty much agree with Jozef.

Really a bridge is what you’ve been waiting for?

As far as I know, we do not have any remote or empty villages in Malta.
