    Wow, nice sunny Spain

    That why we live here.

    Normally for example, we can plan to have a barbecue say next Friday week and we have one that day. Unlike UK, where one might say, lets have a barbie this afternoon and at 12 noon you have to cancel as it has started raining !!!!

    There are also some negatives about living in Spain, John.
    I lived there for a year and couldn't seem to find any friends who didn't want to get p$%^&d at every opportunity.

    I also worked there for another year and everyone seemed to be three sheets to the wind all the time in that year also.

    Mindyou I was single at the time so I never really made friends with families

    I was always on the coast and this seemed to be the biggest problem as the Spanish people didn't have much time for foreigners.
    I speak Spanish too

    When I was driving through Spain in the car and stopping off for this and that, I could not get over how much friendlier the people were to me. I talked to quite a lot of Spanish people and frankly, they were appalled at the things that the drunks did.

    They did however like the money that the tourists brought in.

    I was talking to an Englishman yesterday who lives in Spain and he was telling me all sorts of stories about people losing everything there because houses had been built where they shouldn't have been and they were demolished later with no compensation to the owners.

    It has been OK for many but equally a nightmare for others.
