Forty, I am assuming that what you are saying is that if one was a Chav, one would find Esuri a nice place to live?

Right?

Someone should offer a counter argument to the OP and say how wonerful it is..... so here goes.

CE is a WONDERFUL place, a lovely British colony within Spain. A resort in the style of the plush golf driven complexes that attract the world's rich such as can be found in the Algarve and the richer end of the Costa del Sol - except at a price affordable to the normal person, and becoming more affordable with each day that passes. So rather than attract the snooty, unapproachable real millionaire types, CE appeals to the lower end, the common, salt of the earth type people from Northern Grafters to East End Barrow Boys. This creates are more inclusive community, and if rumours are to be believed some parties can be REALLY inclusive.
There are at least 5 satellite dish installers within a stone's throw, so one is never too far away from Corrie & X Factor. One can delight in in taking in the wonderful weather the area offers without ever having to learn Spanish - given that your neighbours are also fellow Brits.

In short, and in contrast to the OP who hates the area, CE is laaaverlllly!!!!

Bleeding yuppie.

Two suggestions Jag. MOVE and ignore the CE thread, then you don't have to worry. Guess what, the thread is back on topic

JDR - I'm sorry, do I understand you correctly? Posters on the CE thread have VESTED INTERESTS in said area, and that they use it to surrupticiously promote their own businesses?? Bars? Restaurants? ESTATE AGENTS??????????????
Good God, no. Tell me it isn't so - I thought it was an innocent thread where people could help each other out. If it has been compromised, I now feel it is devalued.

JDR - you've just told me there's no Santa Claus.

You Git!!!!
