You can't be a fan of theirs surely? I'll come calling soon to "discuss" matters with you soon, though I can't say exactly when, morning,noon or night, because you sound so bitter and twisted? Now save your typing hand for better things, don't bother replying any more otherwise it's like a tennis ball going backwards and forwards over the net at Wimbledon? Now there's a good chap. Game over.

You know nothing , if Chiclana is such a bad place why don't you go back to your original stone ?

Dear all,
Having only just joined the site please can anyone or everyone tell me if the statement I have made as a genuinely concerned person, ie, concerned that others are not conned or had over or defrauded in the way in which we were by unscrupulous people we all know exist here either deserves, merits or invites the type of abuse and response I have received from Mourinho? If you think it does then I shall willingly forgo my payment and cease to be a member. If not please say.

Please do not give up being a member because of someones antagonistic posting, best to ignore them. From what I can see you have told things as you see them and I think that is what the majority of people on here do. You have voiced your opinion which is your right as a member. We all say something at sometime that gets another persons back up and that is the way of the world. We cannot please everyone all of the time so have to take the rough with the smooth, although some do not see it that way and decide that only their opinion counts.

Keep in BE it could be helpful to you and your experiences could be useful to others.

Chiclanero, Chiclana is a sensitive subject, but no I don't think you were completely out of order. When I first joined in this forum I had some run ins with Mitzipurr. We now have an amicable peace I believe. I don't believe every Estate agent is an out and out fraud, not every builder. Ways of doing things that were once accepted, are no longer. In the past it was always illegal to share a meter, to resell elex... however it was openly condoned. In the last two years this has changed. I think you are right to warn people...yes there are many of us with homes, bought to enjoy as holiday retreats or otherwise, who have been lucky. Many others have not. Many of us Chiclaneros on this forum are still seeing houses being crammed onto small plots, wonder about where they are going to get their elex from, and are still amused to see estate agents whom we have dealt with only occasionally advertising properties with the description including the info that they possess a legal elex meter...what should be an absolute essential.

Chill out, your alright, everyone has an opinion and as long as you don`t breach the rules carry on.
Have a read, in fact it wouldn`t hurt everyone to read them now and again.

Warning to all. Do not buy property through Chiclana Homes Web Site. New properties not up to the required standard, and unable to get repaires done and most of the wiring is also not upto the required standard.

For those of you living in Chiclana, check out the recent post on mycadiz.biz from the PSOE party. A laugh a minute. :rofl:

Especially for Poollounger. Did you see that a new fast food restaurant serving American and Arabic food is opening in July in town? Or would that be burgers and kebabs? Also a mini casino.

Chiclanagir I thought you were on your way to France!!! Sounds great...my house will rocket in value and I can then move to Extramadura...:thumbup:
Seriously.....I have no objections to a variety of new shops, restaurants etc. My old patch of Stockwell in South London became a Portugese enclave for a while, but driving past last night I noticed a smart new Polish grocers. London is truly the most cosmopolitan city in the world. If Chiclana becomes a thriving cosmopolitan town that benefits all it's inhabitants then great.....but please not a Little Britain.....and I do hope the new English butcher speaks Spanish.
Another glorious sunny day here in south London....

The English butcher does speak some Spanish. His sign is in English, Spanish and German and he has Spanish customers, one of whom said that the gammon she bought from him was the best she has had in a long time. He is also intending to stock Spanish cold meats as he wants to attract more of the locals into his shop.

The gammon was the one thing that I didn´t think was very good.
