Nowadays, when I’m asked where I come from, I usually say I’m Gibraltarian. It fits in nicely with my Sephardic looks and my language, and avoids the embarrassing questions. Yes, Anthony, you have to learn to lie.

Gypsies, not Romanians.

We’re now there, with the Moroccans and the Romanians. I have nothing against these nationalities but they are quite notorious in Italy…

They have no control over the unknown conduct of unworthy clients who are solely responsible for their own disgraceful conduct, unfortunately reflecting badly on the other tour members and on their country of origin.

[Daphne – This is not a website for the literal-minded.]

As many are aware, before the revolution in Egypt, specific bird shooting tours were organised. Whoever joined these tours knew that they were going to spend days shooting birds. However, quite a few other tours to Egypt were also organised on a cultural basis, including the very informative nile cruise.

in the recent shoplifting case, it was absolutely not the organiser’s specific aim to aid people in shoplifting. On any tour, in any group of people, even on individual travel, one can find a rotten apple which gives sensational headlines.

[Daphne – Oh for crying out loud, talk about a clash of cultures. The literalism in this ruddy country makes me despair. Look, you are not going to get ‘Zoo’ type wisecracks on this website, so don’t expect any you find here to come heavily ringed in pink and marked JOKE. Humour does not translate from one culture to another. I have never been known to laugh at anything in Maltese, and believe me when I say that it’s not because I don’t understand the language.]

It’s rapidly reaching a point where I’m embarrassed to show a Maltese passport.
