TAKES JUAN TO KNOW JUAN

Don't know if you've heard but the King of Spain's dad, the ex King of Spain, Juan Carlos is leaving Spain and going into some kind of self imposed exile. Rumour was he was going to the Dominican Republic but I find that hard to believe. Why is he going? Well, have you got another hour to spare or have you heard of Google? Anyway, the bit I'm getting at is the interviews I saw on the BBC World earlier. Several Spanish people were stopped in the street and asked what they think of the whole affair(s). There was a wide range of opinion including those who might like to see the whole royal family beheaded, angry people critical of  his unacceptable behaviour, others wondering why he has to leave and maybe he should serve his time in Spain a bit like his son-in-law, another social liability. However, my favourite was the older woman who seemed to think that he had also done a lot of good for the country, but on the other hand a lot of bad. Yes, it's not like he murdered anyone is it? Oh that's right, I forgot. he shot and killed his own brother.
