... quite interesting to investigate into this matter. We are currently on the International Programme of European Studies and always working with people from all around Europe.
For our thesis, we came along the Brits living in Spain and we found that this phenomenon is definitely worth while investigating.
So please help us gather information and take a couple of minutes to contribute to a successful thesis!
Appreciate it!

Why Brits?
There are a large number of Germans, Dutch and French here also. Why are the Brits so interesting?

because since we are international, it has also sthg to do with language (everybody of us can speak English, whereas only one person can speak German, for example). That's one of the reasons ...
