It depends. Its basically a day when the locals dress up and
celebrate being Gibraltarian - so apart from that, as a tourist its
not the best day as everything is closed.

If you DO go over for 10th Sept take some clothes specially for the event so
as to be wholly part of the event, though no-one will criticise you if you
don't. There is no specific dress code, just as long as all the colour you
display in your clothing is red and white. Oh and if you have the 'phone no
of a few restaurants now would be a good time to start booking lunch and
dinner sittings - everything gets booked up early. Reservations are being
taken already!!

Or are you one and the same person? like Fight Club but only with more
mental illness ?

up. Keep up the good work.

Most certainly, mine is in Gibraltar and the other Jim is in Glasgow
thus the GM callsign.
There are things I have to share with him, like a planet anything
else is non negotiable.
Generally the best thing is to ignore him, failing which take the
advice of Lewis Carroll :
"Speak roughly to your little boy,
And beat him when he sneezes:
He only does it to annoy,
Because he knows it teases."
Jim Watt
as opposed to the tourists. You have a problem ?

Yes I do. I don't like the term "the locals". I thought you were a local
too!

He is. And a good term it is too. It includes the Gibraltarian and
non-Gibraltarian residents, who are precisely those who DO dress up - as
well as a smattering of Brits from uop the coast who come down in their reds
and whites too. They are (fairly) local as it happens, though I doubt
whether those not actually IN Gib but as local as you can otherwise get
(Linenses) get very involved in this affair.

Teaching others how to suck eggs is something I never indulge in. If Jim is
a local and considers himself a local, then there is no valid reason why he
should use the term "the locals" when refering to the Gibraltarians and, as
you put it, other local residents. After all this time in Gib Jim should
know better. And of course, I wouldn't "dress up" being in the land of Oz,
where dressing up is not quite the done thing. Well, some do dress up or
undress rather, when it comes to Sydney's mardigras. Despite the propaganda,
it is not so welcomed.

I do, and that is the term used in normal conversation here.

I know you do, as you should, and all the more reason why I would've said,
"we locals dress up, etc. etc."
