Please note that I don’t appreciate the caption under your photo : “Nic in a house in Granada”.
Man, this is not a mere house in Granada. This one is particularly exciting, well located and above all filled with awesomeness!

Firstly, it’s 1500s and not 1500’s. That erroneous apostrophe is known as the ‘greengrocers’ apostrophe’. I don’t know why it’s called that, but I’m sure a Wiki search could tell you the answer.

As for the idyllic British harmony of pedestrian and motorist, it was once explained to me by an American living in the UK that there was a fundamental difference between the two countries: in the UK, if a car hits you as you cross the road, you sue the driver. In the US, if you get hit as you cross the road, the driver sues you! It’s all about priorities, I suppose, which is a bit unfair given that the car is inevitably a good deal larger than the pedestrian (Smart cars could be the exception here…).

And finally, Reading were relegated from the Premiership to the Championship. A rather technical point, I know, but the day I go to see Reading play in the Champions League (i.e. Europe’s premier club cup competition), I will eat my hat. Or at least a hat-shaped cake.

Regards, &c.
