Being a Brit in Croatia comes with its own peculiarities. Despite being born in 1969, I am apparently responsible for the events in Bleiburg in 1945, for example. And we are all arrogant colonialists (I also spent a lot of my time in Kenya apologising for the British colonial past before I was born).
And of course, the main topic - what the hell are Brits doing living in Croatia? There can only be one answer - they are undercover operatives for MI6.
After 20 years of rumour and accusation, including the delightful claim that I am the MI6 Balkans Bureau Chief (can you imagine), tonight the truth and a little insight into whether or not all Brits living in the Balkans work for MI6.

Well, there´s nothing to be ashamed of. It is an honest job just as any other and if it brings food on the table for you and your beloved ones, and if it fullfills you, then just go and proceed your dream. ;) ......................................... On the more serious side: I love your videos. As a matter of fact, I have learned some stuff of my own homeland that I wasn´t aware before.

Let me tell you the story from Vela Luka. During the war ( similarity with uncle from Only food and horses accidental), there was no tourists and one day suddenly guy on the motorcycle came in with US number plate. CIA obviously, everybody was convinced and nobody wanted to talk wit poor guy. When they did they found out that he came to write his master on Vela spila..arheological site in Vela Luka. Not only tha but he was a stepbrother of famous acctress Bo Derek. We all kno who she is right?. So, local barber asked him to phone her so she can sen a photo with writing " For Brico" or something. And she did. It was writen " to Boris Gugic-Brico- artist with the blade". After a few months he asked him for another one. It arrived and said " to Boris Gugic- Brico and stil artist with the blade". Both of them are stil in his barber shop in Vela luka..and its all started wit CIA spy😂😂😂

Well. Let’s face it- 1) the services do in fact operate in the region, and 2) the operatives really could be anyone, local/ native people included, but they would probably skew to the not-very-high profile. So yeah it’s all possible.
