Ida Whitehead is so right when she says the only downside to Malta is the "complaining British tourists". Having only recently discovered Malta I fully agree with her. The people, the islands, the sea, the value for money are all wonderful.
To those who moan because they cannot find fish and chips or a pint of bitter I suggest you go to Blackpool. Those of us who enjoy Cisk, bragioli and sunshine will keep on coming to Malta.
There is one other downside: Leaving to go back to England.
