Help!! Trying to assemble all the fixtures/furniture etc for our new house in Spain. We have finally found a ceiling light we both agree on - trouble is it is English. Does anyone know if you can wire English lights into Spanish ceilings? Failing that can anyone recommend a good marriage guidance or failing that any advice how to get blood stains out of Spanish tiled floors??

Cheers

Paul and Christine

Hi there Paul and Christine,

There shouldn't be any problem with wiring English lights into Spanish ceilings. As for marriage counselors, they are plastered all over the English newspapers sold in Spain. Re the blood, I always find that chlorine, diluted in cold water works wonders, but re-tiling is your best bet

Good luck
Martha

You can wire it, but bring spare bulbs with you as they are screw thread here.
You can get UK bulbs, but at a cost.

The only problem you will have is that the English light fitting will need bayonet fitting bulbs. The bulbs in Spain are screw fitting
So bring plenty of spares


There you go. two answers for the price of one

Thanks Martha - you may have just saved a life! I'll bear in mind the chlorine tip though - haven't decided on the curtains yet!!

i thought you lived in the uk

We do live in the UK but we are having a house built in Spain so we can split our time between here and there. Finished 2 months early and caught us on the hop a bit!

Oh no! Not the dreaded curtain decision *lol*

Make sure all knives, scissors and pointy/sharp objects are safely tucked away when the negotiations start

no not you BIG WHEELS sorry for the confusion

2 months early in Spain.......
Must be worthy of the Guinness book of records, lol

See jdr, miracles DO happen

So that is why our place isn't ready yet - our builders must have been out at yours helping your builders finish early
