LifeCome Care, Falklands Diary, Gibraltarian English, Older People Day

LifeCome Care, a company providing domiciliary care for the GHA, made the news yesterday after complaints on of changes in carers, claims of no vetting, and various other issues. Ros Astengo spoke to Opposition member Atrish Sanchez for the feedback that they’ve received from the public.  Local navy enthusiast Michael Sanchez was a teenager in 1982 when the Falklands war broke out between Britain and Argentina. Sensing that Gibraltar would play a vital strategic role for the British Armed Forces, he began a diary chronicling the events which would last for 74 days. Now, over 40 years later, Michael's published it as a book... it's called "Falklands conflict - A diary from Gibraltar".What is 'Gibraltarian English'?
