What On Earth Is Gibraltar? (UK Overseas Territory) 

Yeah I noticed that too.

Im guessing they showed Italian text since it’s part of Llanito, along with Spanish. The second book they show immediately after the Italian one is definitely Spanish. Maybe they couldn’t find actual Llanito text🤷🏻

@@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson Interesting, thanks!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mumma Mia 🤦

Did he fall off his perch

@@mindyourownbusinessfatty No, but he was bird ringing when he passed - just happened to not be in Gibraltar at the time.

​@@TheUKNutteri don't understand your comment. What did he pass? Was there a bird ringing exam or something that he passed.

He had a doctorate in ornithology. He got the job 30 years ago and never left!@@mindyourownbusinessfatty​

@@mindyourownbusinessfatty No idea, it was years ago. I’ll have to ask my aunt. All I know is that he got a doctorate in ornithology.

I misplaced my bucket, please do not kick it while I seek to retrieve it, unless you are bringing it to my attention.

top tip: If you fill your bucket with cement, it's much harder to kick :)

Do it mate!

@@dsxa918 well, if somebody else kicks your bucket for you then, ive got bad news.

What has being Malaysian got to do with anything

Yes, done the Great Siege and the WWII tunnels at Gibraltar. Fascinating places, both. Thanks for your service, by the way.

To the author: Gibraltar is a port and castle, whose use (only its use) and enjoyment (the port and its buildings) is ceded to the UK after the Treaty of Utrecht by Spain. That is to say outdated. Neither the alienation of more territory, nor its expansion, nor control of waters or airspace, nor the construction of an airport, nor as a base for piracy, slave trade in the Peninsula, headquarters of fictitious companies, is contemplated. , a tax paradise, a center for mercenary companies and other prohibited activities such as smuggling and trafficking in people and drugs. Nor the granting of their own status to its inhabitants. That is, neither jurisdiction nor the border is ceded, which leaves trade with Spain restricted except in case of emergency. Furthermore, Spain reserved in the Treaty the right to redeem (recover) the colony if these points were exceeded and this has been done. It is also declared by the UN as the only European territory pending decolonization. That's Gibraltar.

@@jorgeo4483 Spain will never get it back

@@jacktattis We could get back tomorrow if we want, you are not opponents for us. The problem is how to recicle all the shit you got there.

@@jorgeo4483 You underestimate the Brits and overstate your capabilities . They would wipe the floor with you.

It really is unique!

What do they do with the sewage? How is the town powered? TIA

My dad was in the US Navy between 1965 and 1967 and was stationed briefly in Rota, Spain, which isn't far from Gibraltar. Yet, he's never mentioned visiting there.

I visited with the US Navy back in 1993 on my back to Norfolk, VA .

A timewarp forward or back? As a British citizen, I’m guessing back.

@@netto6681 Yeah definitely back in time. I think they wanted to make it feel like ye old England a little bit. But it’s also weird because you’re walking or driving over from Spain and all of a sudden you’re in a very different place that feels like it shouldn’t be the UK in a sense.

The UK should get the f out from there

Ask the locals whether the UK should pal. They will tell you in no uncertain terms with perhaps a little'bop' on your nose!!@@TheAtomoh

@ekspatriat According to Wikipedia, the gibraltarians want to stay alone. So no Spain or UK.

It’s neither Italian nor Spanish. Or you could say it’s both. But it’s actually Llanito. A combination of multiple languages as explained in the video. Besides Italian, you can clearly see the words “cabeza” and “nunca”, Spanish for “head” and “never”.

"cabeza" and "nunca" are in the book after the 2:42 one. the second book could be spanish or llainto, I don't know, but I'm sure that the first text is in Italian as I am italian

@@massimilianobarbera7830 i see that now…the first book is completely Italian. Had to go back and check, it does seem to be two different books.

Unique looking area. That rock!

Has he fell off his perch

To follow up, Belize 🇧🇿 in Central America drives on the right as well. 🚗

Napoleon standardised it across most of mainland Europe and various countries switched to align with this. A fair few countries still drive on the left. Gibraltar isn't part of the Commonwealth, but an Overseas Territory of the UK, essentially making it a full on colony of the current British Empire as it stands today.

@@Joshua-fi4ji Thank you for that. It was slightly confusing considering Gibraltar competed in the Commonwealth Games, but yes, you're right. Like knowing the difference between the United Kingdom vs. Great Britain. 😉

Considering the fact that the only road out is connected to Spain which ALSO drives on the right, it's somewhat of a necessity for them to drive on the right instead of the left!

😮

The Commonwealth Park has added a nice piece of green space to Gib. The Alameda Gardens, near the Rock Hotel, have been there are a long time and are well worth a visit.

Is it difficult to drive to green spaces in Spain? I have considered moving there

You are so funny ! Lol

I'd love to know more about there, thinking of moving out of the uk, also depending what they're smoking I wouldn't mind 😅

Like "What are the Guyanas?"

British not English

@pedanticradiator1491 same thing really

I hear ya

hahaha same. Never heard of them before

... how is gibraltar "the same" as djibouti?

Yep. Lots of people have trouble distinguishing between the two concepts.

So says the ENGLISH?

@@blackfileNepal What? I'm American, lol.

@@MatthewTheWanderer You're as American as British. Go back to england, ya tea sipping bilbo baggins!

I thought the exact same thing

I had the opposite knowledge gap whan it came time to visit Venice. Had always thought it was a coastal city. It turns out to be an island.

@@gardengeek3041 Venice is composed of many islands.

its a hub for laundering money from drug sales in the UK from smuggling through Algeria and Morroco into Spain, France and then Europe at large. Lots of LLPs and SPVs in Gibraltar hmmmmmm

Yeah, those evil colonials, modernizing, enriching, and stabilizing and such.....

@@redneckroy8947 Just ignore the genocides and mass enslavements mate.

@@k0mm4nd3r_k3n there was no genocide. It's a lie. Perhaps there should have been. Then we wouldn't have to hear them complain

@@k0mm4nd3r_k3n and as fsr as enslavement goes, we never started slavery, we ended it. It was common practice for the majority of human hostory, until we decided it was immoral. We went on a global crusade to stop the practice, which is still going on today in Africa and the drab world. Never mind it was Africans enslaving eachother, trading them to Arabs and European on the beaches. Did you ever wonder why there aren't any sub Sahara Africans in the Arab world? Because I bet you won't like the reason.

I was there in October and we drove across the runway.

True! However, whenever a plane is due to land/takeoff, ALL pedestrians and vehicles MUST vacate the runway immediately and stay behind the barricade until the plane has left and the road is again safe to traverse!

It literally isnt the same, Ceuta and Melilla always were spanish/portuguese enclaves without any treaties or documents saying otherwise. Gibraltar was temporarily given to the UK in signed treaties after the Spanish Succession War. According to the treaty signed, Gibraltar has to be returned to Spain. Your welcome!

It isn't the same

yes the issue is the same. Contiguous land masses are the reason why Morocco wants Ceuta and Spain wants Gibraltar. European land documents to do not dictate who owns land in Africa.

@@walkerahl Thats the point I made, Morroco wants cause its contiguous with their territory, not caring for any historical or further reasons. Spain claims Gibraltar because there's neither a legal nor any meaningful reason for the city to pertain to the UK. Drop the european arguments, this ain't a colony or French territory in Africa. Your welcome!

@@cirodelatorrerojo3643 I think the meaningful reason was its sucessful siege against spain and france against uk/portugal. Without it , it could be a chance gibraltar could be spanish one day but it will NEVER happen now. sorry lol it is our fault (french). After the siege, the territory earned its british identity until ... english people disappear from earth? If the spanish/french won the siege, gibraltar would be spanish today.

Same

I would say so.

Y qué. Tan pronto como Gibraltar vuelva a España empezarán a contarse años también a favor de España.

​@@masn9997 Gibraltar vuelva a España? En sus sueños!

@@joebloggs4191 Gibraltar volverá a España. Únicamente es una colonia británica por la fuerza militar, y Reino Unido la perderá.

It's not part of the United Kingdom 😅England Wales acotland and Northern Ireland make up the United Kingdom.

So many irritating mistakes. "De fecto" also jumped out.

The graph shows which side traffic drives on. The Philippines have right hand traffic (presumably with primarily left hand drive vehicles)

It's not an island

Apart from every where else the English colonised 😅

What.

😊❤

Means exactly the same.

@@gardengeek3041 The square kilometre is a measure of an area, which can be of any shape or size. Each square km of area is equivalent to the area of a square that is one km by one km. Kilometre squared is NOT the same as square kilometre. Km square is not a proper metric for area, it’s a an indicative measure that can help visualize size, but is not a proper metric. For example, a city that is 20km by 20km is said to be 20 kilometres square. However, its area is 400 square kilometres.

Yes it is more than worth to visit Gibraltar! It is a great honor and the place is so beautiful!

If you're in Andalusia it's a great day trip.

Nope

@@donfatale does that mean they give you an exit stamp from Spain for entering Gibraltar?

@@sidkings Haven't been there since Brexit, so I'm not sure. Given the cross border workforce coming every day, I'd be surprised, but if you're coming from non UK/EU possibly?

maybe the quarrels are not insane...
