Changes that would make Spain perfect for you...
 
List 3 changes you'd like to see in an ideal world that would improve Spain (even if it's unlikely to happen)...

For me:

a) Stricter control on buildings and house sales, especially near the coast.

b) Good tea-shops with cakes, puddings and custard!

c) Less street crime in the big cities particularly pick-pockets and muggings.

2. British cowboy builders

3. Better public transport between Alicante and Valencia

You can't get better transport links between two cities not that far apart. than trains, buses and planes, all of them several times a day.

Moaning Brits are mostly back in the UK, still moaning.

British cowboy builders? I haven't seen any around recently, nor any other builders.

It would be my wish too - the links between Alicante and Valencia, given that the train line stops at Gandia.

1, that the missus went to Austrailia,

2, that she only had a one way ticket

3, and that she took her whole sodding family with her, (well, most of them anyway)

No chance of that for the next few days, she is visiting her family in Galicia.

Just to make sure that she doesnot stumble upon this thread when she gets back, could I ask you all to start a load of new threads so that this one ends up on page 5 or so.

thank you in advance for your co-operation.
cheers
