Most are open but are already fully booked, was in Tabernita last week and they still had a few tables left, not sure if they still have.

Thanks luvmylife, I'll give them a try

Go to the Police Station and take out a Denuncia.

Hi blarter222, re: Barking Dogs, does your enquiry relate to the problem on Luis De Gongora close to the Chinese Market, if so, do you have any update. TIA.

After over eight years in La marina, Have returned to the U.K. Yes it is busier, noisier but what I have noticed is that the yapping ,crapping dogs are nearly all in La Marina, Staying close to an airport at the moment, but aircraft, ,car,, and lorry noise, much more bearable than the incessant dog noise and untrained owners that I have had to put up with.

Yes it does.

Alan,a bit extreme,going back but you are right,there is definitely an increase in noise,brought about by dog owners not caring about the noise their pets make.The owners go to work,leave them outside to annoy everybody else for 8 hours plus any pub time after work,then back to quiet dogs when taken inside,bugger everyone else.

Like your comment blarter222,,But the reason on leaving La Marina, was that I am having trouble with my eyesight, and thought it prudent to stop driving, Unfortunately the la marina terrain in not compatible with arthritis, and
, public transport is almost non existant, So a move was on the cards. Could of perhaps picked a better time of the year, but winter does only last eleven months of the year in the U.K. So I only have about nine months to wait for the next one.
.

Alan,
good luck with your eyes. Despite our many pen-fights I wish you all the best in the future. You have always kept a polite way of criticizing me if our views on things have collided. I appreciate that. So enjoy the winter months and look forward to the summer month next year!

Re: Barking Dogs.....
I hope certain bar owners from phase 4 who have dogs are reading this !!!!

Hello Paulino,
Any further update on the reinstatement of our infrastructure on Oasis,, please advice a firm starting date and the work being done, ie all phone, electricity and water cabling and pipes being routed underground, thank you

I am seeing reports that the contractors have stopped work on the roads in Oasis. Is this true and, if so, why?........Good news....they're back!!

Bob.

They are in Greece on holiday.

Thanks

The road markings in general on the Urb are very faint or non existent. T junctions, crossings and road-humps (tarmac) all need re-painting.

At less than 10mph you wouldnt come across the speed bumps very quickly. lol

Yes same as the Norwegians.

johnmckernanjnr, you are not correct! The Norwegians are not third country nationals in the EU. Have you never heard about the EEA?

A third country national is someone who settles in a foreign country whilst looking to migrate to a third country. I hardly think that applies to most Brits living in Spain. Once again reindeer you have made an ass of yourself.

harrykarry0,
wishful thinking from your side. If the UK decides to leave the EU British people living in Spain will be under the same rules as for instance people from Algeria, Morocco and other non EU countries. So then you say "have made an ass of yourself" yes I wonder who has made an ass.
I really hope that the UK will stay in the EU and that the British people will see the advantages of being there.
And you can call me whatever you like but try to se the reality.

That was my point that you missed reindeer, if the UK leaves the EU I think we would be relegated to the second division known as the EEA.

johnmckernanjr,
I haven't missed the EEA possibility for the UK. But is that really what David Cameron wants? You have nearly the same rules to follow as if you are in the EU. You have to follow among other things the free movement of goods, services, persons and capital — throughout the 31 EEA States. And Mr Cameron does not want those rules for the British people. Or do you have any other information what he wants?

Two interesting articles in the free press this week. One of them in The Euro weekly news had a great story regarding the UK leaving....Pensioners wouldn't have access to free Medical care, also our Pensions could be frozen meaning lots of people would want to go back to the UK resulting in the value in our properties dropping dramatically.
I urge all expats to make sure you have your vote and vote to STAY IN.

BigEd, I really hope people will read your message. STAY IN!

We will have to reduce the use of opium this year. But we will survive.

reindeer keeper i seriously hope you misunderstood my comment and thought i meant live poppies instead of worn ones to show how we remember all the brave people who gave their lives for their countries.....i hope you wasnt being flippant about it no matter what nationality you are.
