Look here Stella, I've told you it's over!!
The judge has told you to keep away from me, the Kids are doing fine. And now theres no empty bottles or needles on the stairs, in the bath, down the back of the sofa, it's ages since they had to go to casualty.
I'll send your Showaddywaddy LPs by courier.
But please don't talk to me again, just move on!!

Re: Need a couple of driving lessons....
Hi polly and welcome.
The coast road around marbella can be quite scarey if youre not used to it.
But dont worry its really not that bad. I took to it like duck off water. You just have to be aware that a lot of the merges on dont give much chance to accelerate. So if a car pulls on be prepared to break.. and dont expect the passing car (on your left!) to give way to you so you can pull out.
Thats all there is to it.
If you have a car in England and fancy a taster of driving on the right hand side. Then take it to France for the weekend. Driving your own car will give you the experience of driving on the right, taking roundabouts anti-clockwise etc whilst in the familiar surroundings of your own car. That way when you come to spain, and drive on the right, sat in a different car on the other side it wont be like learning everything again.
If you do hate the coast road then you could always take the toll motorway too. Its generally a lot quieter (because it costs a bloody fortune!) but do that a few times and you'll get your confidence up.
You will be suprised that its easier to drive on the other side than you think. I had to think twice when i was back in england last!
