(someone sent me this the other day)




Do not move to Spain if…..

Do not move to Spain if you want to get away from mass immigration as there are people immigrating into Spain from all over including Romania, South America and er the UK.

You don’t like foreigners.

You don’t have enough money to pay rent and support yourself and your family for at least six months.

You have relationship problems and you intend to bring the partner with you.

Your children are in the middle of their GCSE’s or A levels, it is better to wait unless you transfer them to an international/ British school.

You don’t like driving. This is applicable to people moving to the coasts where everything tends to be spread out.

You don’t like the heat.

You need job security and a high salary.

You don’t want to learn Spanish.

You want to lose weight as the food is so tempting and you tend to eat out more.

You are in the least bit impatient.

You like to be kept informed.

You have a problem with frequent power and water cuts.

You don’t like change.

You expect people to drive well and use their indicators

You don’t like mafia style corruption

You don’t like dust

You don’t like scaffolding or cranes

You need choice i.e. supermarket choice

You are a big reader and love to hang out in book shops………………





think that covers everything

Tonight I would add 'If you do not like rock music and the sound of people enjoying themselves'.

This week it is the turn of the 18 year olds to arrange the fiesta and every year of course it is almost a week of music. Of course being Spain it does not start until about 10 p.m. is in the main street and will probably finish at 4 a.m.

Tonight it is the band that all of the youngsters prefer so the volume is higher and sleep is the last thing that anyone in the town can expect. Must admit that they do sound good, we were going to get dressed to go out to hear them and then realised that there was no point because we can hear them perfectly well from here.

wouldn't help..... people would still say that the main reason for leaving the UK is to escape the "bloody immigrants" and they would still fail to see the irony.
