what really worries me is she's taking in spainsh kids like I do, from next weekend

Has she taken them in before? She does not sound like someone who will treat them as family so not exactly a good thing for those kids. Maybe they will complain afterwards and she will not be allowed to have students again.

I hate it when someone makes money out of people they obviously do not like, and she seems to make it obvious that she does not like children.

no she hasn't though we did last year & she knows what it's like secondhand

I decided not to recommend them (you get 50 euros for a recommendation) but they conated the company directly

I just dread to think what 's going to happen

I'm saying nothing.....

Of course, you have to respect the culture of where you live, understand traditions and the way of life. But the point is that we live here, legally (I assume), and are absolutely entitled to our opinion. I don’t agree with mikelincs that we are visitors AND immigrants. You can’t be both. You either live here, take part in the society, way of life and dare I say it – integrate. Or you’re a visitor. And because we’re now doing it in such numbers, we will start to change Spain, as a minority. Hopefully that will be in a positive way, with respect for the traditions.

Best not. Bit of a shocker that one!

Integration is the main thing I think.

We may be from UK but live a Spanish life in a Spanish town, which means buying from the same shops as the Spanish, adhering to their customs and respecting their traditions.

Absolutely no intention of attempting to make any changes as we love the life with them.

she's just been out & told Jess off again..............

for swimming quietly up & down!


I think it's time we had a word - Jess wasn't the only one in the pool.- but It's always Jess she speaks to.........probably a) because she's english, & b) because she's the oldest...which IMO doesn't make it fair!

You shouldn't be shocked A panorama programme said there are literally hundreds of hate filled forums against Brits.

Does she say it all to Jess for the others benefit and does she use Jess because she knows that she will take notice whereas the others do not?

Or is it the language thing?

Rosemary

if it's Jess & a load of spanish kids it's the language...she's been used as translator so much that she now won't do it........but today they (all 4 of them ) are english

I think it's because she knows Jess & knows that she is generally a respectful kid - but now she's accusing her of deliberately flaunting the rules to wind her up

Jess in tears again

hubby just went over..........she's not even in!

so she had a go - & went straight out!

Bully

Rosemary

funny that's what Jess said!

except she said it in spanish

I think a little further explanation would have helped there. A little out of context with the point derbyflan was trying to make (i think).

And Americans, and Germans, and Israelis & Arabs .... etc etc
