Re: Banking/ UK via Spain

There is no connection between Royal Bank of Scotland and Barclay Bank.

Re: Euro pound parity

Re: Airport delays

But aren't Spain and Germany both within the Schengen area so would not be affected?

Why can't the Spanish Authorities be given the passenger manifest before the plane leaves the UK or before the passengers arrive at the airport for the return journey?

Re: Buy or Rent

One other element that has affected our decision is the cost of buying.
We were looking at apartments in Valencia last month and the 15% cost in addition to the purchase price was a step too far for...

Re: the attitudes of brexit and holidaymakers

Good way to raise money, as you...
