House buyers’ guide to the significance of all the electricity meters in a neighbourhood being on top of 7-metre poles

I met a couple of slippered eastern gypsy ladies in Lidl (Barcelona) the other day. They were acquiring monstrous quantities of junk food with their begged euro coins, which they appeared not to be able to count for themselves. I explained that at Alcampo there were self-checkout machines which they could use for small change, but they already knew about them. They said they were from Slovakia but wouldn’t say where, nor whether the clan had integrated with Spanish mainstream society to the extent that they too subsisted on beer and crisps.
