Its looking good now[edit]

This article looks really impressive now, you've done a good job Gibmetal 77. Hope I didn't offend you by calling Gibraltar "a colony", I thought that was the correct term. (when clearly it isn't. Must have been something I picked up from the media). Lord Cornwallis (talk) 23:37, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. No worries. It's something that happens often; the media not getting their facts right. The BBC often calls Gibraltar an island!

Anyway, there are probably a few more things to add to the article. I'll try to dig out some more info when I can. --Gibmetal 77 ^talk 21:21, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
