I love living in Spain but..................
There have been some gripes that a lot of us who live here do nothing but moan.
I reckon that you can love living somewhere, without thinking that it's perfect, and I'm sure I'm not the only one
so I thought we could have a thread just for moaning
I'll start with.....
I love living in Spain but..................
the tele drives me mad
why can't they even attempt to stick to their published schedules?
a couple of weeks ago we all wanted to watch a film which was scheduled to start on the hour
half an hour before that we were flicking through - to find that the film was just starting!!!
we're used to them being a few minutes out - usually late though
but half an hour early
that's ridiculous

....I wish my bilingual mother had taught me Spanish as a babe in arms rather than leave me floundering in adulthood.... not Spain's fault, of course, but mothers are fair game the world over

I love living in Spain but.................. I wish they would use the local shop across the road from me as a shop and not a social club. It can take half an hour to buy ONE THING!!!
Also why do they shout at each other in bars
