Just to keep you up to date:
We were informed by a member of staff on the council as a courtesy and I do not see the reason to reveal this persons' name. It is irrelavant to, as you say,'expose' this person as they are doing their best to try & give us a heads up to another insane situation brought on by the rantings of the persistant moaners here in La Marina. Andy, this is not a wind up as I knew last week from Jeff before he went on holiday to Poland that the police were putting the pressure on the bars that are serving under-aged children. Another person made the effort to visit most of the bars with this sad news about shutting down entertainment. Why do you think this person is in the wrong? They were being helpful with this information to prevent anybody being fined as with the spanish laws being adhered to in some towns due to the amount of complaints received & I can honestly tell you that no one wants to be a scapegoat or an example with a € 5,000.00 fine. I posted my message to try & get some of the residents to see if we can expose these habitual moaners & show them what they are doing to the urbanisation. It's not just about the individual bars but the knock-on effect from this madness. All the bar staff, the D'J's & possibly the Quiz-Masters & all their families that rely on their income will initially feel the stoppage. Then it will be all the food & liquor suppliers & then down to the bars & restaurants & finally to the basic infrastructure of supermarkets & public services. We need to tell these people to stop what they are doing TOTALLY!!!!! They are slowly destroying this urbanisation with their selfishness. If this continues, as another person had said, you will see the home prices plummet even further than they are now. After all, who wants to live in an area where there is nothing but a few bars & restaurants that have a little background music with nothing else to do. I can even see them stopping bingo (gasp!) if this keeps going on. Then what?
Come on folks, it's NOT a witch hunt against a person that tries to give us fair warning about our livlihoods being threatened. If I were them, I would do the same to try & help out & prevent any business from going under & effecting others' lives.
