I figured you may be keen on the record, right, which was sent to me by a companion in Spain.

We lived in Spain for a long time and in spite of the fact that, on occasion, it was hard going we chosen to consistently maintain the principles and guidelines forced upon us.

The Guardia Civil Police were exceptionally firm yet reasonable and you generally comprehended what you could and couldn't do.

This is a common case of Spanish enactment as gave to occupants.

For each one of those individuals in the UK who imagine that the English police are, now and again, draconian and excessively hard on the open at that point reconsider.

The guidelines over yonder are clear, compact and carefully upheld.
