I subscribe to the email newsletter from World Wide Words. I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone who is fascinated by words, their derivation, and use.

http://www.worldwidewords.org

I thought the following piece from this week's newsletter worth a laugh.

I have heard that one should never stop on the open road if someone causes or fakes a small accident in Spain but should continue to the first service station or town.

Paranoia is a terrible thing ooo .... having traveled extensively in Spain and not just round the coast and mainly the interior personally Ive never experienced a problem.

In Italy Ive had some moments I guess really its a bit of a lottery IE "Time and place" there are nasty people in the world but fortunately that seems to be the minority.

Don't be a victim is my motto I would say the Morgan driver is more sensitive to something that's a bit fishy wink
