Resenär We were struck by how much Gibraltar is determined to emphasise its "Britishness". We expected red pillar boxes and traditional red phone boxes but perhaps not quite so many British pubs offering a bill of fare you'd find in any British town: pie and chips, lasagne and chips, burgers and scampi and, of course, the inevitable fish and chips! Every street corner seemed to have or to advertise "traditional British fish and chips, with mushy peas and chip shop vinegar. The monkeys are all fed twice daily on a healthy diet of seeds, fruit and nuts but they have been known to make forays down into town to search out and steal more interesting food. I don't know if they too are fans of fish and chips!!
