HMS Oceans marines Invaded Spain.

#avidgardener ‪@fionahesketh‬
On 17 February 2002, whilst under command of Captain Adrian Johns, a unit of Royal Marines from HMS Ocean accidentally landed on the San Felipe beach in the Spanish town of La Linea instead of Gibraltar, causing a minor diplomatic incident as various media outlets labelled the mistake as an "invasion".

Good morning Graham & Fiona, we have similar bins with one only a few yards from my house, the heavy duty cast iron bins are cemented into the pavement, they have moulded on lids, but four whopping great rectangular cut outs on each side, which are emptied by nature numerous times a day, both by cyclonic winds & scavenging seagulls & crows! I have to go out & sweep all around the perimeter of my garden which is on the corner of my street every few days, as it resembles a council tip with all sorts of rubbish & doggie poop bags 🤢 decorating the pavement! (That coupled with lazy irresponsible dog owners letting their dogs relieve themselves of things resembling the size of railway couplings, & not picking it up - filthy gits!😤🤬) It didn’t occur to the designers to install some sort of flap system to keep the contents encased! Sorry for the rant, just spent another hour plus of my Saturday being an unpaid street sweeper!😩 Sorry for the rant, but it really drives me to distraction!😱🤦‍♀️ I feel better for that ‘Victor Meldrew’ style tirade!🤭😆😂😂

Hi Graham and Fiona, I wonder why there's no one on the little beach? I'm from near Barcelona and the beaches are full of people. Take care😍

I’m sure I read that they have got shares in that stuff.

Good morning.

Just noticed the dog paw prints 🐾 on that loop shaped water shower, obviously was showering the sand off your four legged friends & the second one is probably a font for then to get a drink after running around in the baking sun. A very dog friendly beach, I think dogs are banned from many beaches here in Scotland now, which is a bit of a shame, but too many irresponsible owners letting large poorly trained, and uncontrollable, dangerous breeds run wild off the lead - too many people being attacked & savaged here by unruly, vicious dogs. Especially when there are little kids running around, it’s just too dangerous! The same old story, a handful of idiots, ruining things for other people sadly. 😏
