Been here 7 years in September. It´s a great place to live - if you have your finances sorted out ( but I suppose that is the same anywhere in the world).

11 years plus another 5 sailing around the Med.
I've almost forgotten what it was like to live in the UK.

I've been here for two and a half years and love it!!! Its not been as easy as I thought tho - mainly due to the damn recession that happened just after we arrived here!

You are stood at the bar and somebody notices your command of Spanish. Dos cervezas, you say, y un paquete de patatas.
Cor, they go, how long have you lived here?
Five years, you answer, feeling rather pleased with yourself.
I've been here seven, says the barman in an accent which is faintly Geordie.
