Oh and hi mate, nice name change.
Yes mate, they have been doing it for over 40 years. But not sure if they supply directly to the public - they are or were a first/second tier supplier to the likes of landrover/fiat/volvo

I have seen them before but they don't do any, I did try these guys, but they are just as expensive and I don't think as good.

If you do voice entry systems go to the South, they never seem to open the gates, when my clients buzz me in

When we moved to Spain permanently just over a year ago I was 50 and the OH was 57. I was a Regional Office Manager in the civil service and he worked for a large travel company. We won't get our pensions for a few years yet and will be funding our living expenses until then from the profit on the sale of our UK house plus an inheritance from the OH's father. Since we moved I have inherited more from my father, otherwise with the worsening exchange rate and big price increases we've seen over the last few months I might be getting a bit worried.

Neither of us intends to do another day's paid work in our lives if we can help it. I said to a friend of mine a few weeks ago that I thought I would be unemployable now, because if I got a job and someone spoke to me in a way I didn't like, or I was asked to do something I thought was a waste of time, I would be straight out of the door!

People are always asking me if I get bored but I really love not having to get up and go to work every day.
