Never in a million years would I go back to that shitty horrible place they call the Uk.

If we had to move from Spain then we would go to another country rather than go back there!

By my estimates thats around 50K Brits a year coming here!

No doubt influenced by the immediate availability of websites and donkeys!

I read in the paper this week that one person was "seriously considering leaving Spain" on the grounds...







...that they could no longer get Sky Sports... :huh:

It seems people leave the UK because of the crime, fear of crime, politics, equality, inequality, standards of education, standards of healthcare, standards of standards, immigration policy, foreign policy, domestic policy, domestic foreign policy, over policing, under policing, speed cameras, traffic cameras, bus lanes, bus lane cameras, traffic jams, traffic lights, roads, railways, airports, ferry ports, house prices, house of commons, house of lords, House of Fraser, house of cards, council tax, airport tax, petrol tax, cigarette tax, health tax, tin tacks.

Yet they leave Spain because of the TV reception... :blink:

Still, we left the UK because of the rubbish weather. Looks like we were wrong too. ;)

Pitiful isn´t it? What this obsession with British satellite TV is all about completely baffles me!
People are living in a new country which is a totally different world, experience a new way of life etc.....yet all they are concerned about is what TV channels they can get.

Having followed numerous posting on this forum I find

"It seems people leave the UK because of the crime, fear of crime, politics, equality, inequality, standards of education, standards of healthcare, standards of standards, immigration policy, foreign policy, domestic policy, domestic foreign policy, over policing, under policing, speed cameras, traffic cameras, bus lanes, bus lane cameras, traffic jams, traffic lights, roads, railways, airports, ferry ports, house prices, house of commons, house of lords, House of Fraser, house of cards, council tax, airport tax, petrol tax, cigarette tax, health tax, tin tacks."

quite well summarises a lot of common reason that exist in Spain and UK.

I will now get below the parapit from the grass is allways greener brigade

Simple, if I had the cash I would buy a larger yacht and live wherever I damn please day to day, month to month, year to year. Much of the time this could be in Spanish waters and for sure little or no time in Somali waters but then the world would be our oyster.
