British Expats - COSTA ESURI

Hi Jon thought you might like to know how true your words "we are having a blast today just as it is" are. At approx. 5am this morning a neighbours delivery van blew up. The local police, Guardia Civil and 2 fire engines turned up but unfortunatly there was little hope of saving it.

Hi MikeCol -Are you in Manzana 7 Andalucian Village? if so i hope it wasnt our neighbours James/John furniture delivery van was it?:confused:

Ive seen that van...I think it is an old Earnshaw van. A furniture shop that used to be in Lancaster. I thought it was doing well if it was making regular removal trips from the U.K. Does it stay in Ayamonte?

Does he just do local delivery or regular U.K. Ayamonte trips? We have some friends looking to get some furniture over to the Algarve.

He did both but as I said the van caught fire and blew up so he will not be doing much of either for a while. I feel very sorry for them as they are a nice family and are always happy to help where they can.

No idea at the moment. Whats left of the van has been taped off by the police as well as the car that was parked next to it. The damage to that was bad all down one side and a couple of windows were broken in a nearby apartment. Luckily it was not occupied at the time.
