Great advert for the Rock. You wouldn't see so many dolly birds in a modern one. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

[@mathewgreen4099]

Lovely, thanks for posting.

[@Vincent98987]

Really good quality..

[@desmondfitzgerald9802]

is the red postbox an English emblem or a british emblem?

[@lablackzed]

When gibraltar was gibraltar now it a total concrete jungle totaly destroyed.

[@desmondfitzgerald9802]

if spain becomes a REPUBLIC, England will have to hand Gibraltar back to the Spanish. check it out, though, in case I read it up the wrong way.

[@vo1d402]

@Nordic Tyr I mean why would they want to become part of a poor country lol

[@joman563]

Strange argument. Spain was a republic twice (in 1873 and in the 1930s), but Gibraltar remained British.

[@iceman7975]

Whats all this rubbish of we have to hand it back,we are not a commodity that you can trade with. With that mentality we would regress in history and return to the neanderthal caves .All land on this earth has been in one shape of form been fought over ,won and lost .we dont hear giving spain back to the moors or UK to the Romans or vikings or the USA to the native Red Indian's. So we are not going to be the exception.

[@pinquifrustri]

This makes no sense whatsoever

[@djkemaito9597]

gibraltar is still british and it will always be
