Can't wait
 

To get back to me little casa in espana. Been back in England just over a week now and let me tell you all it's been a week to long. It's been nice seeing my mother and rest of the family but after being in Spain for a while it dawned upon me how much a different way of life it is in Spain and how deeply depressing it is in England. Same old routines mon-fri people working 9-5 getting home having a shower, having tea, watch a bit of tv soaps etc then bed about 10-10.30pm ready for the same old thing the next day. You don't see nowhere near as much of your life living in England as you do on Spain everything is so slow and laid back, sunshine in the day, light clothing, few red wines and tapas of a night out socialising. I do not intend on coming back to England for a long while now unless I really have to *touch wood*.

When was the last time you all visited England or don't any of you intend to ?

I know a couple who ain't stepped foot back in England for 25 years straight and I can't say I blame them tbf.

Not surprised you can't wait.

I haven't been to UK for 6 years and have no desire to, been there long enough.

You were brave to post this but,:thumbup:

Re: Can't wait
 

Ha why's that ?

Re: Can't wait
 

Well that's a suprise:blink: All the stuff you post about the place I thought you were a bleeding expert with first hand knowledge:confused:

Here she is:rofl:

How many years do you need in the UK and how much intelligence do you need before you know what you like or dislike about a place?

So you like it there...........Enjoy it

Re: Can't wait
 

I take it then you do not need to work in Spain ?

Re: Can't wait
 

Things is most of the Spanish would love to do a 9.5 in stead of the long lunch and finishing at 7 or 8 in the evening.

Re: Can't wait
 

No because I'm filthy rich and I can do what I want.













Nah not really of course I have to work mate and I work hard at what I do. I'm just saying its completely different way of life in Spain where as in england there isn't much to do let's be honest. I ain't slagging England off because I was born and raised there and if it wasn't for England I wouldn't of turned out to be the man I am now but lets face it it's 2012 now and England's f****d am I right or wrong ??

Good Question, let's wait for the real expert Jackytoo..

Re: Can't wait
 

Well it seems that you have hit the ground running, considering that you and your dad have not been living here for month yet.

Congrats on being employed already.

Someone who doesnt have an interest in current affairs ;)

Do a bit of research into Spain's economy and unemployment and then post again.

As for the lifestyle, it is what you make of it. Around here it is only tourists and retired foreigners who are out during the week. Spaniards rarely are, they have work the next day, kids to look after etc

And if you lived in a London, Edinburgh etc, you could be out every night of the week in a different place if you wanted to, just like in any other city in the world, including the Spanish ones

I love Spain, but I think you have got "grass is greener" syndrome, maybe you've just had a nice holiday?

Re: Can't wait
 

You probably wouldn't believe the number of times I've heard that said during the past twenty years.


Likewise you probably wouldn't believe the percentage of those who said it, who were more than pleased to get back to Blighty within a few years of slagging it off.

Re: Can't wait
 

Seeing as you recently posted that London was filthy, don't you think it would have been worth mentioning that it was when you was there 6 years ago...lots of things change in that time. Also you have had a lot to say about people earning loads doing hospital runs.....so it's all hearsay then, like a lot of the crap you post:thumbdown:

Re: Can't wait
 

Wrong.... it is your perspective. If you don´t want to spend time there that is fine, that is your choice. I love Spain but I love the UK as well. They are two different places and I get pleasure from both of them. In the UK I have my family, shops, libraries, museums, theatres, pubs, beautiful countryside and friends. In fact I find there is a lot more to do. However in Spain I have the weather, which is a big plus, love sitting in a bar on a sultry evening with a beer but do get bored. For me the ideal solution would be 3 months at a time in each country but financially not possible.

Re: Can't wait
 

Yes I would just love a night this week outside a bar on a sultry evening as the weather is sooo crap right now in the UK:) Not enough to do "time" though:rofl:
