They came to us from England,
That green and pleasant land.
They came to stay for just one week,
But it wasn't what we'd planned.

We imagined it would be great fun,
Having friends with us to stay,
We wanted to spend some quality time,
They came for a free holiday!

And that's how the trouble started,
No matter how we'd try,
When things at Hotel Twyntub,
Just seemed to go awry.

They'd moan about the semi-skimmed,
They complained about the tea,
They even tutted at the rain,
But it rains in Spain, you see.

The frequent sudden power cuts,
Really made them sad,
And the distance we were from the beach,
Got them really hoping mad.

The lack of local pubs and clubs,
And no English TV,
Their mobile phones just wouldn't work,
We're in the mountains don't you see?

What do you mean you've got no landline?
And the shops here shut at two?
And Tesco don't deliver here?
What shopping can you do?

And the people just won't speak to us...
Except in Spanish, oh my lord!
We shout at them as best we can,
But seem to get ignored!

Yet my wife and I kept quiet,
We just kept out the way,
Cleaning up their sandy mess,
Changing bath towels every day.

We coped with no hot water,
When they'd used it for a bath,
For the 2nd or 3rd time that day,
We just had to laugh

When they ate up all our chocolate,
Yet the wrappers missed the bin,
Or when they opened all the windows,
And let the mossies in!

Hang on, they've offered to take us out!
By way of "thankyou" saying.
So why is it after a great big feast,
It's us that ends up paying!

Alas, they've got to go back home,
Their flight leaves at half past eight,
Another day to cope with them,
But tonight we celebrate!

They say they've had a lovely time,
Enjoying each and every day,
But they much prefer their home comforts,
Back in the UK.

Well go back to bloody England!
You've really been a pain!
Forget the creature comforts,
We prefer life here in Spain!

We may not have the latest car,
Or a council house TV,
We're too busy spending quality time,
As a happy family. :eek:

and with visitors arriving on monday for 11 whole nights, we have it all to look forward to.

I think i shall print off your poem and leave it in their bedroom, just as a little hint.....

or i'll just read it when the stress is getting too much!

I cant wait to have the house totally finished and have a gang over and let them all see why we live here,
All our guest would change places with us, my BIL would like a shot only 3 kids to think about first, his ultimate plan is to come here when lads finished school and settled.
So not all doom and gloom, we haven't had that problem Honest.:thumbsup:
