Organ WelshmanYou may need tablets to learn how to spell my username correctly. That’s assuming that medication is available for those suffering from chronic imbecility.
We win again. That's what's important.
Sadly the people not coming may well be the higher contributors, not the bucket and spade brigade, the latter who neither know nor care about island issues. But maybe that works - all the crap resorts are full and the local towns less so?
Bergundy Blue, calm down dear. Yes they are mixing up the name in the article which is bad form, but the English have traditionally called it Majorca (as in Isla Major). I don't like it, it is Mallorca to me but each to their own. I would suggest a visit the the Doctors for you Bergundy, you might need some blood pressure tablets.
British tourists defy anti-tourism protests. Loyalty to Mallorca shines as visitor numbers climb Let us rewrite that headline : British tourists defy Mallorca residents who are protesting in increasing numbers . Loyalty to their holiday in the sun shines through as they ignore the wishes of the island residents to reduce tourism to more sustainable levels. Of course one has to understand that as England fills up with more and more migrants the Brits feel more at home in the English pubs of Magaluf than they do in the boarded up suburbs of their home town where the only thing open is a kebab shop and a Turkish barber.
“… in the Balearics and 9 percent in Majorca, taking the number…” Majorca? You bloody philistine - it’s Mallorca. And this from one of the island’s editors. 0af.
