Re: Supermarket shopping habits

I'm a big fan of Carrefour for choice and quality. But... it's expensive unless you join the Club and use the APP. Some people don't want these companies to know what they buy but they target offers...

Re: Voluntary Social Security Contributions (Pension) - Spain

I don't understand why some people imagine that voluntary payments to the UK system would be 'deducted' from the total of contributions paid into the Spanish system.

The Carrefour App was terrible but seems to be very reliable now and their Club Carrefour card has great offers.

Re: Pedro Sánchez announces General Election for Sunday 23 July

I don't think that Puigdemont has anything to do with Bildu.

It's PSOE by the way. Partido Socialista Obrero Español

Re: Castral value of UK property

Re: Spanish Income Tax Model Calculations

They only broadcast the few Championship matches picked by SKY so tend to focus on famous teams in or near the playoff spots. Leeds and Forest will be featured heavily next season I guess.
