anyone fancy a night out in Javea?

Javea works for us too!

It would have to be a weekend though.....a Friday or Saturday night. Or even a Sunday morning for coffee would be good.

Now all we need to do is find a date that is suitable for most.

So far, those interested are:
Lynnxa
Mitzyboy
Montgomail (will try to organise for July if most are in agreement)
Rugbymatt (or at least that's what I think he meant on his post)
and ourselves of course.

Anyone else?

Any suggestions for venue?

Why, do you go
Is what Im told wrong

You need to go to see what goes on. Loads of them live in a Raj type fantasy world dying to tell you "what they used to be in the UK" They should provide a knife sharpener at the door.Give it a go Mitzy you will love it.

sounds like at least half the expats I've met

then when they've been here a while you work out that they re-invented themselves on the plane..........

Yes, sounds very familiar.

90% of the ex-pats we've met or have had work for us seem to have been Managing Directors or Owners of thriving companies in the UK with very posh lifestyles. Whilst they are here though all they do is try to find bargains at the Jalon market.....! Makes you wonder.....

if they all had such wonderful lifestyles in the UK.................why are they doing odd jobs/cleaning houses here:confused:


we had an ordinary life there......and lead an ordinary life here......but much warmer, healthier, less consumerist (is that a word?.you know what I mean!), more freedom for the kids...better, cheaper food etc. etc....

as I have already said on here, the amount of ex SAS I met out there was unbelievable.
