Hi Graham,

Benidorm´s Fancy Dress Party is a good thing to avoid a depression or another alike illness in this moment. Experts -we are now full of experts-said that mental illness is increasing greatly due to the covid pandemic, because people are confined to our own home. We can´t see and speak to anybody. We need to laugh and to play.

I can see these Brit completely uninhibited and relaxed. It´s wonderful. They couldn´t care less the Covid. They step without musk in sight. They are not afraid. It´s surprising for me. Over 20,000 British arrived on the Spanish seaside resort of Benidorm to revel. They laugh at channel migrant, Pacific slanders, police officers or nuns. It seems a big fiesta of colourful costumes with a lot of drinks and, above all, with plenty of will to live. I think it´s deserved.

After observing it I think I´m bored.

See you.

Good morning José,

I am surprised that you are so much in favour of this party. As I understand it, gatherings like this were prohibited due to Covid but these Brits went ahead with it anyway. I am all for people having fun in whichever way they choose. However, I don't think the same people would like it if a huge group of foreign tourists held an illegal party in their town. I also think it is poor taste to make fun of desperate people who risk their lives in search of a better life.

*Alike is used with verbs e.g. They look alike. / Great minds think alike.
