Re: Tax on profit from house sale

Thanks Beachcomber. We are residents, so I'm glad that's cleared up. What puzzles me is why the principal residence to be reinvested in cannot be elsewhere in the EU, in view of Schengen etc. What...

Re: Sky signal gone

I just tried this, waited 10 minutes and it's not back yet. Thanks anyway. Should I change the default transponder back to its original settings (11.178 - at least I think it was... gulp)?

Sky signal gone

Re: Amazon now cheaper than Play.com to Spain

I used to buy a lot from them, but many of their DVDs are either Asian imports (they ship from Hong Kong) or Region 1. Also they don't carry a complete range like Amazon and Play do.

Re: Any work for a Window cleaner in this region

Windows open inward so most people clean them themselves. There are always some windows that are inaccessible, but I have never seen a window cleaning service in our small town. You could see this as...

Amazon now cheaper than Play.com to Spain

Amazon UK seem to have found a cheaper way of shipping to Spain, their prices for many DVD box sets, for example, are now cheaper than from Play.com, who for the past 2 years had been undercutting...

Today I received the PCMCIA wireless internet kit from Telefonica. Followed the instructions, plugged it in and I was away within 5 minutes. Hooray! Took the notebook out on the balcony, about 7-8...

Re: TV in Spain
