Absolutely agree. Not sure why they are so uncomfortable with their spanish life to do it all the time. Sure there are many problems in the UK as there are in Spain or any country. When I am in the UK there are some things I miss in Spain, likewise in Spain I miss some things about the UK.
I think that e-bay thing was written tongue in cheek. Of course there are people like that but unless you live on the sink estates it's not apparent.

..these same expats usually complain about european immigrants in the UK whilst being one themselves, here in Spain. So funny it's annoying.

... and again I say............. its not that you were offering up an opinion, you said.... and I quote...."Well this accurate summary of life in Britain today may just change your mind."

Well unfortunately we can't always convey what we are thinking via the internet, I mean half the time I am thinking "I want to kill you all!"....

Re: Are you thinking about moving back to the UK ?
I was back in the UK and I was travelling on the outward bound district line going through all those depressing Dagenham stops on my way to Upminster. It was daytime and the entire carriage was empty, when a group of Chavs got on a Becontree, and immediately lit cigarettes, defiantly blowing the smoke in my direction, while sipping from their cans of strong lager.
I considered my alternatives. As a respectable, upstanding citizen should I have spoken to them about polluting my air space and ignoring the No Smoking signs? Should I have got off at the next stop? Try and make a citizen’s arrest of six drunken Chavs?
I lit a cigarette to help me think, and the problem went away.

If you can't beat them.................join them!
