Wow, who'd have thought Open Street Map would improve my Spanish? I  
stand corrected. I just took the old-fashioned language from a road  
map I bought on holiday about 10 years ago to illustrate a point.  
Sadly, my Spanish does not extend much beyond ordering two beers or  
telling the waiter 'La mesa no es limpa' (if I remember the holiday  
Spanish phrase book correctly). I never encountered a dirty table in  
Spain, so never had chance to try this one :-(
