It sounds like and epsiode from Postman Pat or the teletubbies.......all simpletons together discussing a country none of them live in day after day, after day, after day........Groundhog day.

Why can't you accept that it's true, Are you so up your own arse that only what your community is like counts?

My Spanish friends and neighbours are not heavily into after dinner chat.
Whether at their house or mine life carries on as normal with everyone mucking in doing something be it preparing food or whatever, they never seem to stay still for long and certainly not long enough to go on a forum day in day out and pour forth bilge on the ins and outs of a ducks arse as happens here.
When the topic of Le crisis surfaces they are pragmatic, none know the answer, none knows what the future will bring but by christ we all know what we are all going to say to the Alcalde or the president of our Urb next time we see them about things that affect our daily lives that at least we can try and do something about.
Nobody brags about buying tuppence worth of veg from a shite shop or pays 60 euros a year IBI or 800 a year UK council tax........... its almost embarrassing really to read it.
I have never experienced this constant bleating on about the same old same old in real life as on here anywhere in any country that I have lived in. I have looked on the other forums here and cant see it there either. As for having the front to tell total strangers to rent not buy based on fatuous patronising little nuggets of non-wisdom, I honestly do not think that you realise how ridiculous that is.

Well I for one dont think it is anymore ridiculous than someone asking/wanting advice on a forum about a big issue such as buying or renting a property in a foreign country.

I only said I make my own desisions on where I live, how I live, where to put my money, when and if to have children, without asking advice on a forum of SAS, Pilots, CEO of multinational companys, troubleshooters, as found on here.
To take heed of the advice on a life change on a forum is the way an R.sole would do it.
