Re: Want to move to Portugal
Troggie's the joke meister. I'll leave them to him. Never knew that you were from Lincoln Cleri. Used to be at Waddington years ago. And Swinderby before that.
I disagree Trog. I've always felt that a professionally cooked curry is far better. Don't know why - just do. And there's nothing wrong with mine either. I've been cooking them for long enough.
I have a picture somewhere of a load of Gurkhas tucking into a curry that I made when i was in Kosovo. If your curry gets the '
' from them, then you're not doing badly

Perhaps I've been eating curries in the wrong places then. Whenever I've had a curry in Sittingbourne I've come away thinking I could have done better myself. The last one I had had rubber prawns in. I really should have sent them back

DF,
just looked at my earlier post and can't understand what came over me. I did my basic training at Hemswell not Swinderby
. Still, same county.

Re: Want to move to Portugal
hi there
sounds like you don,t want too much!
anyway it is quite a lot more expensive living down south in the Algarve.
we are 2 people living here in Central Portugal (3 months)
great area to pick by the way! we think 1000 euros a month without accomodation is pretty expensive. 2 of us so far are spending no more than about 150 euros a week and that includes utilities and Beer/Wine and food
so you should eat pretty well with £60.00 a week.
it will though cost a bit extra for the internet as any decent connection will cost 30 euros a month (plus extras if you download a lot)
the Central Portugal area if absolutely Beautiful. and you will get much more for your money.
feel free to look us up if you are in the area, always got a cuppa on the go or a bottle open!
cheers and good luck
