Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
My wife Helen and myself are just about ready to retire to Javea. We will be posting lots of questions and we look forward to lots of good, bad and indifferent advice. John and Kath we are delighted to see one of the many things that isn't missing on the Costa, is the good old British sense of humour. Sand...I really did laugh out loud!

I hate scooter riders trying to kill me on crossings when the green light is in my favour.

seems the only thing they get pulled for is rider or passenger without a hard hat, otherwise they are totally immune to anything.

yes I suppose I would Pocaloca, I have a wonderful man who makes sure I have everything I need in life, I have RA so am in a good degree of pain most days, He still lives and works in the UK but comes to visit me as often as possible. My life is so much better for the warm climate, and now I have my three dogs for company life is just idyllic. I live nr Orihuela out in the countryside, and it's fantastic to watch the locals just tending the crops at their own slowwww pace, I get lots of freebies too, loads of lemons and oranges, now there's artichokes, broad beans and brocolli is just being picked, spuds up soon, wish there was more cauliflower though as I love that. yummy, life couldn't be much better, unless I had my Steve with me full time.
which goes to show that life is what you make it,
no need for all this trying to force your way of life, standards etc on the locals, that never works and only makes everyone short tempered.
