The Traffic Warden's Story

On the way back home with Thomas I got chatting with a traffic warden, Señora Wall who told me that her grandfather was an Englishman who came to fight in the Spanish Civil War and fell in love with a Spanish woman. She also told me that under Franco large families received priveleges so her grandmother had had 8 or 9 children. We talked about how that has now changed and people generally only have one or two children. However there are still some priveleges for "familias numerosas" (large families).
