That's the thing, it doesn't look like a typical British city... could this be in the Channel Islands? How about St. Helier?

^ Not really, I've lived in England for a good 4 years and I'd be totally stumped if you told me that was in the UK. I didn't even consider the overseas territories to begin with.

"The UK will never enter into arrangements under which the people of Gibraltar would pass under the sovereignty of another state against their freely and democratically expressed wishes." (preamble of the Constitution of Gibraltar)













WONDERFUL GIBRALTAR...

Well by that I meant an English-Speaking country - in all honesty I thought it was some theme-parkey knockoff somewhere in the United States... good to know I was wrong.

Actually i wouldn't had guessed that it is Gibraltar in the beginning....
but i would have asked for Spain.
The green cross sign is typical for a spanish pharmacy and i never saw it anywhere else.
