Re: Moving Stuff back to UK

John,
Have a look at J One way van Hire.

We saw the vans parked next door to the petrol station in Jacarilla this March.

Re: Parcel UK to Spain

Hi Lionda,
NO, not yet. Wife had a very bad health scare, it's under control now.
House sale fell through as well, so it's not been a good time.

Did you come back to the uk?

Re: UK LIGHT FITTINGS

Totally agree with you. Especially when you can reverse the plug. At least the earth will go to earth.

Re: UK LIGHT FITTINGS

Hi VP, Your 240 volt light fittings will work in Spain.

The UK is still 240 volt. But is stated as 230 with a tolarence of +10% -6%.

I think this was done to comply to EU regs.
