Re: Formatting Spanish address

Address changes happen now and then, but I'm very surprised that you had 4 changes within 2 years! Where was that???

I know somebody who used to live in a street with quite a "political" name,...

Re: How does the health care system operate in Spain?

That's precisely what I understand. Not sure if things have changed, but people only need some studies (técnicos) in order to drive the ambulancia and to attend people.

Re: Move to Spain? Is that sound or silly

TBH I find it terribly unfair to feel forced to leave tips for somebody to bring me food to my table. Especially when you are expected to leave a percentage of your meal. WHY? It takes the very same...

Re: Move to Spain? Is that sound or silly

I don't take your comments as "racists" and I don't think anybody here does.

I'm Spanish myself and I agree that many things don't work. Corruption is traditionally high, red tape is traditionally...

Re: Move to Spain? Is that sound or silly

Some time ago I went with some friends to a Spanish tapas and restaurant in Brighton, and I was surprised to see them selling Sidra La Asturiana and Sidra El Gaitero... for something ridiculously...

Re: Formatting Spanish address

That's perfectly fine, some people put the postcode separately, it really is not that important. As long as it has all the info, it should arrive fine, don't worry too much. The only problem would be...

Re: Spending cuts and more taxes this year. Are you affected?

Personally I’m 50% PP and 50% PSOE... they both are "lyers and rule breakers" as you put it. Don't really care who rules, they all are chorizos trying to get as much as possible for themselves and...

Re: The King is worth 1700million euros.

JuanCar had a hard start, and has always had it difficult in Spain. At the end of the day, we are not really monarchic and can do without a Royal family. Last thing he needed is another black sheep...

Re: Are your Spanish friends tardy for the party?

jajaja... talking about stereotypes!!! That was exactly what I thought would come to describe the British... nor the first part, but the second one, mind you ;)

Re: España! Quiero volver pronto :)

Hi there, happy to hear that you actually like the Spanish culture, rather than just the weather.

You might find it very hard to start with, as all your money will go into keeping a roof over...

Re: Are your Spanish friends tardy for the party?

It is definitely considered as TERRIBLE manners to arrive early. It's a big social nono. Especially when you are to go to some friends' house, they actually say the time they will start preparing...

Re: Best Wishes everyone for 2012

Feliz Año Nuevo! It won't be a good one, but let's hope it won't be worse than last one.

Re: Do not buy in Spain at this time.

First of all, Happy New Year, let's hope it won't be a too bad one. Unfortunately we cannot really hope for a good one!

As many of you said, I don't expect it to be the best ot times to buy a...

Re: The King is worth 1700million euros.

You got it wrong... please read it again. There is a theory, which I find quite convincing, about Tejero being a patriot in the sense of staging a fake coup d'etat, merely to give strength to the...

Re: Where's Home?

I have a "home" in England, and I have a "home" in Spain. The most difficult time for me is always the day before going to one or the other, because although I'm happy I will be going to one, I know...

Re: The King is worth 1700million euros.

And they are supposed to be one of the cheapest to keep! Much cheaper that the English or the Sweden "Royle" families.

They are supposed not to own the Palace and the rest... not like the British...

IN Spain you can also make "testamento olográfico", a hand-written will that anybody can make, even in a simple piece of paper. Not the best thing... but still accepted. Problem is that the cost of...

Thanks! That was exactly what I meant. I have seen sausages being made and it looks quite fun to do (and very messy till you learn how :lol:).

Re: The perfect sausage roll
