But a quick comment to you about newsgroups. You certainly don't *have to* post through Google, and I recommend against it. There are many choices of news servers available to use even if you are a Comcast customer (as I am too). Some of them are free and others charge for use. Here's a free one I use and like very much: news.eternal-september.org -- Ken Blake Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

: Santiago, well just finishing dinner Nice try, but at 11:08 PST (which is about 20:08 in Spain), we were not even starting dinner. Actually, nobody dines in Spain before 21:00. I had a glass of Champagne in my hand (and another inside) at 20:08 so... cheers to all! s. btw: another free newsgroup server (requires subscription): http://x- privat.org |

No problem I tell my clients that when they go to Spain they can expect any restaurant open at 8pm to have only tourists. It is sort of the same here exept any restaurant with guests arriving at that time has only tourists! JC from the land of the 1700 dinner. (and 2000 bedtime I would guess) |

I read your post and there was a quote of Lawrence's post with the hour which I took for yours. ¡Mis disculpas! > > No problem I tell my clients that when they go to Spain they can > expect any restaurant open at 8pm to have only tourists.

(and 2000 bedtime I would guess) When I travel abroad, I feel great having dinner at more european hours (say 8pm in France, Italy, Portugal, Southern Germany). But when I come back home, it is so difficult to have dinner (even at home) at 8pm. When going out here in Spain, I always book for 9pm, or 9:30pm maximum, I always get better service, more attention by the staff and can get back home much earlier and sleep much better. And there is also less risk of being intercept by the alcohol-test police (even if I am more than cautious when dining out if I have to drive back home). But it is not uncommon for my compatriots to make reservations at 11pm, specially on saturdays if there is a football mach on TV. s. |

So in fact, you DO eat earlier than it would seem, in solar terms... Well, that's an interesting theory. Perhaps we should be in the same hour as Portugal. s. |
