IMSERSO - SPANISH RETIREES

Hoy voy a escribir sobre el Imserso porque me da la gana. Además son de mi quinta. Hoy llevé a un grupo a Formentera. Un señor me dijo que quería que su sobrina viniera a verle a la hora de comer y me preguntó dónde comiamos. Le dije que en el restaurante "Barbarroja" en la playa de Mitjorn (playa del mediodia, del sur). El señor llamó a su sobrina, le estuvo explicando dónde ibamos a comer para que ella viniese a verle. Estuvieron un largo rato hablando. Luego me pasó el teléfono para que yo hablara con ella. Bien, le expliqué dónde quedaba exactamente el restaurante por "Es Ca Marí". Ella me dijo que estaba en Fuerteventura y que le había explicado a su tio que no podría verle pero que no había manera de hacerle entender. Le dije al tio: "Su sobrina no puede venir a verle porque está a mil kilométros de distancia". Otra cosa, estoy HARTA y espero que tomen buena nota que cuando vayan de excursión en grupo, cuando el/la guía estén contando dentro del autobus no salgan con "El que no esté, que levante la mano" es ya un chiste tan trillado que no podemos mas. Tampoco que cuando vuelvan, todos digan: "Bueno, ya estamos aquí, ya nos podemos ir". ¡Qué cruz, Dios mio!"

Today I'm going to write about the Spanish retirees, because I feel like it. And, they're my generation. Today I took a group to Formentera. A man asked me where we were going to have lunch because he wanted his niece to come and see him. I told him at the "Barbarroja" Restaurant in Mitjorn Beach (south beach). The man called his niece telling her where we were going to eat so that she could come and see him. They spoke for quite a while. Afterwards he passed me the phone so that I could explain to her exactly how to get there. OK, I explained where the exact location of the restaurant was, at "Es Ca Mari". She told me she was in Fuerteventura (Canary Islands) and that she had told her uncle that it would be impossible for her to see him but that he didn't register it. I told him: "Your niece can't come to see you because she's two thousand miles away". Another thing, I'm absolutely FED UP, and take good note all of you who take bus tours, that when the guide in counting the people, not to say: "Whoever is not here, lift up your hand" it's a VERY old joke that most of us can't put up with anymore. Another thing: "Ok, we're here now, we can leave". I must say, however, that this doesn't happen with English-speaking tourists, it's mostly with the Spanish ones but since I translate my posts, I had to mention it.
