Can't afford a Rolex or a Porsche? Buy what you can afford instead of demanding someone else subsidize you.

Most of the water in Gibraltar is either from desalination or brought in by boat as I understand it. They also collect some from fog/rain from the side of "the rock." We were told that desalination is expensive.
