The Comme Ci, Comme Ça Comédie-Française?

I think that most of the Bob and Sheila Brits who move to Spain adopt a more sensible approach in gravitating towards the coast, where the winter weather offers plenty of blue skies.

Rather than the '¡qué romántico, qué pintoresco!' pueblos in the middle of nowhere with the nearest bank half an hour away, and the nearest A&E department twice that. And temperatures colder than the Cairngorms in January.
