Re: Caution for those bringing cars over to matriculate

Re: Deco initiative to reduce Electricity Bills

PT's internet and telecom charges are among the highest in the EU.

Rip-offs is the best that I can describe them as.

Re: Caution for those bringing cars over to matriculate

You promote a "glowing and golden" vision of Portugal which simply does not exist. PT may have once 3 centuries ago been the richest country on the planet. But that is now long since passé. Portugal...

Why all the blooming hassle? What's any of this got to do with the GNR? EU citizens should be completely free of all this. But maybe the EU has lost its way. Maybe the countries of the EU do not want...

Re: Caution for those bringing cars over to matriculate

The import tax that Portugal demands for cars is not at all fair in terms of the single market and principles of the economic union of European nations. Maybe the EU is breaking down [breaking up]...

Re: Driving to Lisbon

Yep, Portugal is a total and complete rip-off concerning cars and the use of motorways. Why are they all completely empty of traffic except around large cities during rush hour? BAH!

From the rest of the EU's point of view Portugal is far more remote than the Outer Hebrides, populated with peoples educationally equivalent to crofters. Why bother investing here at all?
