Hello, it's a fantastic website you have here. I find it really interesting and I know that I have certainly learnt a lot from browsing around your site. I don't wish to sound demanding or anything like that, but I have a few suggestions for the website. For example, a page just explaining out the very basics about Gibraltar would be good, that way people who are clueless on the situation can learn and become interested in our ordeal. Some other suggestions for pages: Gibraltarian Culture - A page explaining a bit about the culture, festivals and traditions that exist within Gibraltar. Gibraltarian History - A page explaining out the history of Gibraltar in stages, from ancient times right up until the modern day. Having a page giving information about the entire history of Gibraltar would be of great use and I'm sure it may help people greatly when trying to understand the situation in Gibraltar. Not Spanish - It may be a great deal of help to explain how and why you are not Spanish, how you are different from the Spanish and why Gibraltar should not be annexed by Spain. Including a bit about the culture and the history of the rock and how it has always been different from Spain etc. may help people understand our situation. Signs and Symbols of Gibraltar - A bit about the national identity of Gibraltar, listing numerous things which might be seen as symbols of Gibraltarianess. A paragraph about the flag of Gibraltar, another section explaining the history and origin behind the Gibraltian coat of arms (what the castle and the key represents, what the motto means etc.) and stuff like that. Anyway, I do not wish to sound demanding or anything, but I find that if someone was to create articles and post them on the website explaining out the above then it may come as extremely useful to various outsiders with helping them understand the Gibraltarian cause and what we're all about. It should be of tremendous use to people and I know that I would certainly find it interesting. As I said, the website is fantastic as it is and I found it of great use alreadly. For certain it is one of (if not the) best website on Gibraltar out there. I commend you on what you have done, keep up the good work! <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/141/gibraltarcr9.gif" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/></a><br/> |

Dear KLR, Thanks for your message and glad you liked the website. I wonder whether you are Gibraltarian residing locally. If so I would be grateful if you would provide me with your email address so that I can email you direct. Regards, Jimmy. |

I have been looking through your website and would just like to agree with mr Llanito on what a fantastic website you have created.I Served in gibraltar from 1987 to 1989 in the 1st Battalion the royal anglian regiment and every moment i spent in gib i loved. I tried to leave the army to stay in gib as a civilian but it didn't transpire and would give my back teeth to do so now. Gibraltar and the people of gib will stay in my heart forever.My thoughts of gibraltar becoming part of spain fills me with dread,although i hope this will never happen. I was talking the other day that if i won the lottery i would without hesitation move to gib for the rest of my life. Keep up the good work i will be a regular visitor of your website from now on. With kindest regard, Dale. [This message has been edited on 01/19/2008] |
