Re: apartment / house rentals

It's a mess to be honest, at all levels. Even though we seem to be building more new housing units than the UK builds, it's never ending. Here is a link to a recent survey from 'expats' Survey on...

In what way don't you find it fair?

You are a British Citizen; you will pay the same for your passport as every other British citizen who lives in or outside Britain. You use your British passport...

Re: Experiences of sending their child to a Spanish Uni
