I for one do not say that I could never live in UK again, I only mix with Spanish people and I eat Spanish food.

I'd prefer never to have to live in the UK again.

Excellent. I hope it goes well for you.

I'm hoping that the bursting of the bubble will not be nearly as bad as the Chicken Littles are prophesying, and the UK property market will start back up again.

On a REALLY positive note, just think how fast Spain will recover when its economy is no longer run to suit Germany? The Euro is close to the end of the line,

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/mai...0/cnemu130.xml

and the UK is certainly not the place to be over the next few years. Spain will really motor once the interst rate issue is addressed - low public debt, hard working and creative population. Hang on to your hats guys, always darkest before the dawn.

Since when is the euro at the end of the line?

Me, I'd be far happier if we had it in the UK. That way it would remove the justification the banks/cards/money changers have of gouging me every time I go to Europe.

The glorious benefits of having your own currency!

Bil, I was just being positive but dont want to change the thead. Am happy to elaborate on my thinking if you PM me or whatever the protocol is.

I like the positive attitude of the British people in Spain. They carry on smiling whilst being overcharged and even when a Spaniard is cursing them.:D

Sunlight makes you smile. Plus, if you don't understand what's being said to you.....

And on and on it goes.

Some people on BE Spain seem to have a HUGE problem with the only positive comment bit don’t they?
