You sound like a very jealous lady with a HUGE chip on your shoulders. I wonder why, are you a failed Ex pat by any chance?

I do have family and friends in the Uk you know, and it is a friend who does the voluntary work, so I do have first hand knowledge of some things. You always seem to insinuate that I make things up. Says a lot about you.

Well I do believe that things will have changed in the UK, but tell me how they got better, they are always complaining they don't have money even to repair the frost damaged roads. Maybe they kept the cash to clean up London.

Spain might be skint but they have new roads everywhere and they give subsidized internet for it's locals and free TV to all homes in my Town.

Remind me what the Uk gives it's hard workers.

You won't be so quick with that reply I can assure everyone lol

However it is so hot I have spent all day indoors not venturing out until after 5.30 pm so what a waste. What I am trying to say is that both countries have good things to offer.

This does make me laugh. The roads round us are terrible the biggest pot holes I have ever seen and as for subsidised internet and free TV! Point me in this direction.

Mouse, You are a bullshitter contradicting yourself on lots of posts. All you know about the UK right now is what you read in the daily fail

Insinuating that you make things up You have form!

For starters I came out with my dad who has been living in Spain on and off for years it's only because he has retired he has made the permanent move now and while I'm staying with him on a "temp" basis I'm looking for my own place in alicante also on a temp basis because in the near future I intend on moving down to estepona where I have many family and friends there and in Marbella who have also been living in Spain for a long while so please don't tell me about grass is greener and hit the ground or whatever and also don't question me about my employment because for your information my business isn't in Spain but I can comfortably run it from Spain.

Sorry if iv offended anybody by telling the gospel truth about England and how it's become not a very nice place to live and praising Spain oops.

Right

Gospel truth? How can that be? All you can report on is your particular area which you know. The UK is a varied country which has problems, but, doesn´t Spain? My daughter and her family lived in Spain for two years and are very happy that they are now back in the UK. Spain is great if you have work but shit if you don´t.

Not sure where you live, but they have ruined a lovely dirt track here that was so pretty and only a little short cut across the village, it's now like a wide motorway total waste of money. We don't see many cars out and about but the roads are stunning, they even painted the edges on both sides of a newly tarred country road that is 18kms long.

If you live in the English ghettos over here and don't get about you're never going to see.

They may be taking the p£ss with Euro money, so what, why doesn't the Uk do it?

Show us all where then please, you're just a very jealous person and it shows so clearly

I say it as it is, you say it so you can make it sound that you are posher than everyone else on here, what a joke

No we are in the campo and every so often we get a shovel of tarmac in the hole which of course just gets washed out in the next rain.

Sorry don't know why, I can only say what I experience here. maybe some counties have more money.

We even have excersizing equipment on the pavements free for anyone to use

Tell me the same thing in 10 years time yeah ?

I agree there are many beautiful places in England but ya know it's still England isn't it.

You say it as it is What after 6 years away and you claim to be a font of knowledge of whats happening

If you knew anything about the EU you'd be aware that the UK is a net contributor, whilst the Spanish have been raking it in and spending it like there's no tomorrow.

Unfortunatelly tomorrow has arrived a little earlier than expected and there's now a whole queue of E.Europeans all fighting like mad to get their greedy snouts in the trough as well.

and it affects my life by...................?
