We even drove the old girl into Gibraltar.
Had a result. We were on the red light crossing the border, and “morrisons” fuel there was only a fraction over a quid a litre!!!! Got a tank full for under 70 quid. E5 too.
I am a non smoker myself but also bought some tobacco back as a gift for a friend. £7.40 a pack there - I’m told it’s £38 at home for the same pouch!
Obviously only took the permitted limit of 5 pouches each.
Can’t get over how cheap it all is there!
What is also interesting is that we had to prove stuff on the way out.
“Where is your hotel booking”
“Don’t have one, haven’t booked tonight yet, we are taking it day by day and seeing where we end up”
“Show my your flights home”
“Don’t have any flights, we came on a ferry”
“But your last stamps were France not Spain”
“Yes we drove here from Calais”
“What all the way here, in that”
“Yes officer”

Obviously didn't realise who you were..👍
Ha ha yes, James's response should have been " Do you know who I am? "

The other one I've seen used is " do you know who my father is ?"

" Why didn't your mother tell you?"
When I was about 16 I worked as a waiter in a posh restaurant. This couple came in one evening and my boss immediately took control and gave them a secluded table in the corner. Later I was clearing their plates and the man clearly seemed irritated about something and when I asked them if they wanted the desserts menu he stared at me and said abruptly
Do you know who I am? Well I didn't have a scoobies, but didn't want to hang around so just said that I'd bring the dessert menu.
I told my boss, who rolled his eyes at me and said
He's effing Ben Kingsley you idiot! It was just after the film Ghandi was released as well, but in my defence he had grown his hair back, so that's why I didn't recognise him.
