Does anyone know why there are so many Morocco flags being put up just about everywhere ?
We have seen thousands in the last few days . They are all in pristine condition.
I've asked people and other than saying it's a fete seem unable to answer " fete de quoi?"

You do sound quite determined Borr so I'm resting easy that I'm neither Moroccan nor named Mustapha. ?Bollox is plural, bollock is singular dear chap,in any event whether one or two there going!
On the "singular plural" issue I'm afraid I have to disagree,,, "bollox" has to be singular because if One sticks an "s" on its tail it becomes "bolloks" which is very obviously plural. ???
Although I'm totally "correctoeAbsoluutoe" re this issue of our wonderful language I'm mindful of the fact that I'm in discussion with a mad "bollocks remover" (note I used the "proper plural" there ?) so I'll slink orf back in the undergrowth and please think no more of it.
Hopefully. ?

If one sticks an s on the end of bollox it becomes bolloxs of which there is no such word and in fact as it is a neologism anyway it’s rather pedantic to even begin to discuss the proper use of the Queens English,
suffice to say if I had used the word bollocks, then you would indeed be, as you say, correctoeAbsoluutoe, (another neologism) but as bollox can be spoken by many, as in this case, ie don’t talk bollox which probably would also be singular, I do feel that my original use of the term was i accept, slang, but was most definitely in the plural, unless of course you only have one and are overcompensating, in which case I can only wish you well and understand your pluralism!

Thanks. It's been bugging me for days. I should have opened the link!
No wonder nobody would tell me what was going on.
There are literally thousands of flags now and hoardings being put up all over with the King on one side and the flag on the other.
I wouldn't want to be the one who " caused the monarch's displeasure"
Agressive staff, packed in like sardines, no view, noisy and expensive. So only a 4*?
Not highly recommend them?!
If we make it to Morocco in 12 months time ??? we'll give that site a swerve!
We've had Moroccan type weather here the last month (Sanluca de Barrameda),,, truly blissful ????
Thanks for your help Borr.

I've read all the Moroccan posts on here from some way back and jolly informative they are too,,, (thankyou) but they do seem to be sadly lacking on the "A" subject,,, dare I say it but there isn't too much info on where you lot get ya booze from?
I could, of coursebe
Hate to quote my own post but mid type it disappeared,,, never to be seen again,,, until I launched a really tiresome search to see whereTF it had flown to???!
Anyway,,,

But limited choice and expensive, there's a very good reason most mh's come off the ferries on the bump stops.

Tiznit Municipal site is a dump in a great location. However, it is large and 99.9% French.
They said park anywhere so we did until the French complained and we were told to move. So we left.
What is it about the French and that boring game that they will spend 3 hours in the boiling afternoon sun looking miserable just to throw a ball and pick it up on a magnetic pickerupper. Weird.
We should have joined the Flts across the road.

Thanks for this. We use our own washroom and shower in Maroc. I do like the location of this one though.
I thought it was illegal to import alcohol into Morocco??? ?

Ha! Ha! That might be the official position but when crossing to Tangier Med in a motorhome just make sure it's not on show. Deny if asked that you are carrying any and leave the odd bottle in the fridge for a bribe. Don't offer it as a bribe just turn your back if the fridge door is opened and look the other way.
Medicinal is fine - 3 months worth plus a bit of margin
I guess you're kidding???
Are you kidding???
If you're not kidding, (I think you're kidding) wot sort of "odd bottle"?
Wine, Red or White?
Cognac, Scotch, Vodka???
So many questions,,,
Its hideously embarrassing getting to my age and suddenly finding out that,,, eeerrrmm,,, you're not as smart as you thought you were?! ??

You're kidding too,,, rite??? ?Medicinal is fine - 3 months worth plus a bit of margin
I generally take at least 2 months worth, but spread it around the mh so I dont look like a delivery van, its better for weight distribution as well.Subscribers do not see these advertisements

I make 10 gallons of wine in Demi johns just before I go, its nicely fermented when I get to Morocco and ready to drink, then I take the potatoes out of my underpants and make a nice bit of Pochine, the beer I buy
