You're about 10 years too late there too

For a start, Rio is currently one of the most expensive places on Earth

Oh so true.

I've long ago lost count of the number of loud mouths I've met over the years, recently arrived in Spain, who spent much of their first few weeks or months sitting in bars slagging off the UK and looking on Spain as a bed of Roses.

At a guess I would say it normally takes on average six months, often less, before total disillusionment sets in and they're on their bikes back to Blighty.

Hope you did not mean me :ohmy:

However it was said to me once that unless I button it, I would end up in one of those green bins, so............ ill button it :fingerscrossed:

No not all Andy, I'm not aware that I ever met you in a Spanish bar and I give you credit for having a sight more intelligence than the guys I refer to.

However as others have mentioned don't think Spain is all plain sailing in comparison to the UK.
I would say take careful note of posts 34 and 36.

There are equally good and bad areas in both countries to bring up a family, but as mentioned the quality of the education system should be a major consideration and I have come across numerous Spanish families who are less than happy with the standards of their own kids education.

Yes I went a bit off topic and rambled on a bit and I will take all that on board.

I don't hate it here, just fed up I guess of the same old same old, There is for sure a lot I will miss that I probably take for granted.
