After hearing a conversation in

a bar…

When we consider moving to

Spain, how much thought do we

really give to how different it may

well be from our home country?

Especially those of us from the

north of Europe because I’ve

spoken to many whom consider

Spain to be similar to Britain, but

hotter. ‘A bit backwards’ is an-

other popular myth that visitors

have often been warned about

when looking to make the move

permanently.

If your vision of Spain is drunken

Brits making plenty of noise and

dodgy policemen, then head to

Benidorm where they do it very

well – entertain Brits that is…not

provide dodgy policemen. But if

you call having cops that demand

respect and who can still put the

fear of god into teenagers in a PC

mad world then yes, Spain is ‘a

bit backwards.’

You see in Spain policemen are

still treated like grown-ups who

can smoke and have a beer dur-

ing their shift without getting

suspended and will carry out their

job with the utmost efficiency

– you always know where you

stand with the Guardia Civil. The

local cops are a different matter,

a lot more friendly and willing to

listen to what you might have to

say – even acknowledging that

you’ll ‘only be five minutes’ as

you park illegally next to them…

but what they boast in amiabil-

ity they lack in local knowledge

and ask any one of them, in any

town, in Spain and I guarantee

you they won’t be able to give

you (accurate) directions to your

hotel; the default, ‘and when you

get to the end of that road…ask

again’ usually saves the day for

them though.

And perhaps some might claim

that Spain is ‘a bit backwards’

when describing its citizen’s driv-

ing skills (I’m talking in general

– Fernando Alonso has proved

himself fairly capable behind the

wheel…)but let me tell you that in

the 12 years I’ve been here they

have improved immensely. It’s

rare these days to find a car toot-

ing behind you because he wants

you to go faster. They’ve not

been good and they’re getting

better. That said, a car attempt-

ing to parallel park in front of you

is always a delay worth watching

as they do still tend to gauge the

length of their car by hitting the

ones either side of the space they

are attempting to fill.

You’ll see some accidents too,

and wonder how on earth a five

car pile-up can happen in a tiny

side street where it’s impossible

to reach 15mph, but that’s Spain

and it’s different. It’s a country

where you’ll see more dogs as

passengers on motorbikes than

anywhere else (someone was

paid to count?) and where the

majority consider Bullfighting as

cruel. It’s not Benidorm – that’s

a great place for its own reasons,

but Spain is Spain, and if re-

specting cops - who use common

sense rather than red tape - and

common sense are backwards,

I’m happy to be behind the times

here.

Written for the benefit of a moron

in a bar the other day… hopefully

someone will read it it to him,

bless…

Mr Grumpy VisitsShameful as it is to admit, after living in Spain for almost 8 years I have never once made a trip to Valencia – the regional capital.

As a country bumpkin and redneck I have

always been content bumming around the

Coastal and Inland towns and villages and kept

well away from anything resembling what a Brit

would call ‘normality’.

At about 100kms away – an hour in the car, or

an hour on the train – I know from reading vari-

ous blogs and guide books on the subject that

the city has ‘lots to offer’. Just if you are into

that kind of thing, and as far as I’m concerned

when you have seen one industrial Estate,

jungle of office blocks and endless traffic, you

have seen them all.

I’m actually not 100% certain if it is Cities in

general that I don’t like, or huge concentrations

of people.

But, being the open-minded and non-judge-

mental kind of guy that I am, I decided to

accompany the Mrs on her trip to the smoke to

have her ‘Ecographica’ at the Hospital in the city

centre of Valencia. Not only would she remove

my manhood if I refused her kind offer, but it

would be an opportunity for me to see what all

the fuss was about.

I’m sure at this point some travel-blogger*

would chip in that I should really have delayed

my visit for 2 weeks to take the ‘Fallas’, but I

have 3 points for you to consider here :

1.) The Town of Denia is only around 25 mins

from me, and they hold their own smaller ver-

sion of the Fallas Fiesta each year, so I don’t re-

ally feel as though I am missing too much here.

2.) I can only be amused by a certain number

of ‘Mascletas’ every year. And, as far as I am

concerned, when you have heard one loud bang

and seen one gigantic papier mache statue set

on fire, you have seen them all.

3.) Hospitals can be a bit a funny about moving

appointments around your preferred sight-see-

ing schedule.

Although this is the year 2012, Man has walked

on the moon for more than 40 years, and Spain

has spent 930 Million Euros on developing 3

airports that have still not seen a solitary plane

land, the train network in my area is woefully

inadequate.

Another first for me: catching a train in Spain

(which ironically is where I am typing the first

part of my blog as the Mrs is snoozing).

Even though it is one of the busiest and most

popular areas of Spain, the Coastal strip of the

Mediterranean Cities of Alicante and Valencia are

not connected by train. There is about 25km of

track which is ‘missing’ and has been promised

to be completed for years now, with no sign of

it being completed in the near future. As such

to take the train into the city it is necessary to

drive 30 mins up the road by car, park up and

then catch the train into the city, which stops at

every single village en-route.

That said, adding in the hassle of finding and

paying for parking, together with the tolls, the

train is probably on balance the better option.

Parking at almost every (smaller) station is

Free and the tickets are next to nothing - I paid

5Euro return for a 45 min journey.

So on arriving at Valencia-Nord we jumped on

the Metro for 4 stops to the Hospital.

Now, I don’t want to sound like one of those in-

bred yokels who only has one pair shoes (Which

were handed down from his Mum) etc... but I

have never been on a Metro in Spain either, so

that was another first as well.

I’m a great advocate of never planning anything

in advance, so after the appointment we prom-

ised ourselves a few hours wandering aimlessly

around the city centre and finding somewhere

to get some lunch, to try and get a ‘feel’ for

the city and for the Mrs to try and convince

that it was worth coming back to

visit at a later date

when we

had more

time on our

hands.

[A more than

passable menu

del dia – even

by city centre

standards – has

now been enjoyed

and I am typ-

ing part 2 of my

experience on the

train back. The Mrs is

dozing yet again...]

The ‘only’ three problems encountered were

such:

1.) The purchase of the Metro tickets: Machine

asks ‘How Many Journeys ‘– we enter 2 x Jour-

neys (to the Hospital and back) for 2 x People,

which was not recognised on the return journey.

Therefore needed to buy new tickets – not a

happy event, as any tight-fisted Yorkshireman

would be able to tell you.

2.) The age old problem of British logic (and

assumption) over Spanish failed us once again:

The ‘Nou de Octubre’ Hospital was not actually

located on the Nou de Octubre road, however,

there was as Hospital (not of that name) on that

road. Enter mucho confusion and scratching of

head and running from one end of the city to the

other in order to make the appointment on time.

3.) My Phobia of loud and pointless bangs: I can

kind of understand fireworks when you have

the added visual stimulation of the experience,

but 15 mins of endless firecrackers where (and

I kid you not) the crowd cheers louder as the

decibel-meter records more deafening bangs. I

was trapped in throng of apathetic students (I

thought it was a protest at first) as this went on

for about 15 mins outside the Plaza de Ayunta-

miento. It seems that the most indebted of all

Spanish regions still knows how to waste money

on gunpowder.

Would I come back again at a later date? - Yes:

More than likely.

or the actual market value

of your property you would

approach an estate agent. In

the current climate this price

may well be below the value

that the tax authorities would

determine.

The same as in the event of an

inheritance, the determination of

the value is based on your rated

value that is given in the annual

Suma bill. This rated value has to

be multiplied by a set coefficient

which varies from one year to an-

other and also differs from one

town to another.

In the case of an inheritance the

value is determined and inherit-

ance tax is levied on such value.

In the case of a sale discrepan-

cies may arise.

The tax authorities are not una-

ware of the current real estate

market but may start an investi-

gation if the actual sales price

is considerably below the value

determined as explained above.

They can check the bank account

to verify payments in such cases.

Ideally the account will show the

crediting of the certified bankers’

draft as payment for the sale of

the property. (Said draft is also

copied at the Notary and the copy

is attached to the sales deed.)

The subsequent transfer to an ac-

count abroad is absolutely fine.

The fiscal authorities in your home

country may also wish to have

clarification about any substantial

amount credited to your account

there. It is a good idea to request

a simple copy of the sales deed

before you depart from Spain to

be prepared for any eventuality.

In any case, this can be done at

a late stage if the above incident

occurs. Your agent, lawyer or

gestor will be able to help.

You will not be in such a good po-

sition if in addition to the bankers’

draft (the usual form of payment

for a property in Spain) a sub-

stantial amount is paid into the

account close to the actual date

of sale. To the tax authorities that

would clearly look like a payment

of black money.

tact me, details below.

not everyone and will have pay taxes on their decla-

ration and the odds are that if you’ve retired here in

Spain and are receiving your pension from abroad,

you might not have to pay depending on certain

requirements.

If you have retired to Spain and stay in the country

more than 183 days then you too must declare your

income here and not in the UK. You will also benefit

from the special International Treaty between Spain

and the UK. There are still an awful lot of people liv-

ing in Spain but still declaring their incomes in the UK

which means that could be missing out on saving a

lot of money just because

they don’t realise that they can do their declaration

here and take advantage of the fiscal benefits such

as inheritance tax for residents, or just paying less

taxes, for example.

Why?Obviously the Spanish government needs taxes and,

if you are receiving an income you need to be legal.

Even if you know there will be nothing to pay – you’ll

get yourself in the system (which, trust me on this

one, only make life easier) so when the day comes

that someone (we’ll call him ‘Johnny Foreigner’)

dies in Spain Johnny’s family will have a simple task

dealing with the fiscal (the Will etc.) matters than

someone who has never gone into the system.

ExceptionsTo keep it simple (remember it’s me writing this… )

here are some exceptions to the rule of ‘Having to

declare’ but remember also what I said earlier about

there being no harm (only benefits) in getting into the

system.

If you earn less than 22,000€ annually (from one em-

ployer and are already having tax deducted) or (if you

have incomes from several place) that none of those

exceed 1,500€ annually.

If you have received profits from shares or dividends

of less than 1,600€ per year (this even applies if you

have, for example, sold a car for a profit privately).

Salaries or incomes below 11,200€ (usually pen-

sioners) are exempt but remember also that if you

are employed your employer is obliged to deduct a

minimum of 15% from your wage packet to withhold

for the taxman here in Spain. If that does not happen,

because your pension comes from the UK and is

over 11.200 euros (and it has not been tax-deducted

in Spain) - even though you only have one pension,

you must to declare your income in Spain.

Compensation from a road traffic accident is also

exempt from the tax office but again – it’s worth

declaring it anyway.

Anyone receiving unemployment benefit (up to

15,000€ - who’s getting that much..?!) is also free

from deductions.

How?To make sure you don’t need to pay tax on your

income, or indeed reduce your bill at the end of the fi-

nancial year, it’s highly recommended that you speak

to someone who is experienced in the Spanish tax

system – or you could end up paying more than you

need to!

Pedro told me that there are often an array of options

for people to reduce their tax bill (or even pay nothing

at all) if their case is looked at professionally and

with an experienced eye. For example, someone who

has their parents living in the same house can have

certain funds deducted from their end of year tax bill

as can anyone who has perhaps had to adapt their

house for disabled access.

As ever, with any tax office, things are a little more

complicated than we’d like but by dealing with

someone in the know it often works out far simpler

(and less expensive) to have someone who knows

what they are doing look after those (very) important

fiscal matters that can often become an expensive

nightmare in the wrong hands – ours.

From my own experience, the fee charged to make

my declaration was less than Pedro managed to

reduce my tax bill after showing me exactly what I

could and couldn’t claim and therefore the cost of

doing it properly has cost me nothing… in fact I’ve

made a little on the deal, now… do I declare that… ?

If you have any questions or queries about the

upcoming ‘Renta’ and whether indeed you should be

declaring your income – call either Pedro or Ignacio

and they’ll put you straight. And the benefit for All

Abroad readers is that they’ll give you first consulta-

tion free – so what have you got to lose apart from a

headache from those piles of paper!

KEEPING IT SIMPLE IN SPAINWe all want an easy (ish)

life here in Spain but not

always that easy is it?

Especially when it comes

to the man with the rubber

stamp. And let’s face it,

the tremendous amount of

paperwork currently run-

ning through the Spanish

bureaucracy system not

only brings (several) South

American countries’ rain

forests down, but assur-

edly their unemployment

numbers too. But that’s the

system we have to work

with but with some expert

help you can make sure

that you’re not one of the

ones rushing to the bank

on the 20th of June to pay a

tax bill at the last minute, or

worse still a fine.

With the annual tax dec-

laration (Renta) deadline

coming soon, on 30th June,

anyone with an income

should be getting their

declaration in order (if

you really want that ‘easy’

life) so we asked Alicante

lawyers, Ignacio and Pedro

to once again step in and

explain just what the ‘Renta’

is and who should be get-

ting the pens out to fill in a

form or two.

Who?

Everyone who has an

income while living here in

Spain needs to make a dec-

laration whether it is from

a salary or from a pension

in another country. Now

before you start worrying,

About Pedro & IgnacioThe two spent a year at South-ampton Institute of interna-tional law so it’s no surprise that they speak English so well. Later, having studied law together at Alicante university, Pedro and Ignacio teamed up and formed the highly success-ful Pellicer & Heredia Solicitors (based in the same building as the British Consulate) and using their understanding of British people have built a firm of three offices (so far) with a fourth opening in Ciudad Quesada very soon –and all the staff speak English, very handy.

The taxman cometh…Dave Bull

a trouble-free (as far as the Tax man is

concerned) life in Spain.

We all want an easy (ish) life

income here and not in the UK. You will also benefit from

the special International Treaty between Spain and the

UK. There are still an awful lot of people living in Spain

but still declaring their incomes in the UK which means

that could be missing out on saving a lot of money just

because they don’t realise that they can do their dec-

laration here and take advantage of the fiscal benefits

such as inheritance tax for residents, or just paying less

taxes, for example.

Why?Obviously the Spanish government needs taxes and, if

you are receiving an income you need to be legal. Even

if you know there will be nothing to pay – you’ll get

yourself in the system (which, trust me on this one, only

make life easier) so when the day comes that someone

(we’ll call him ‘Johnny Foreigner’) dies in Spain Johnny’s

family will have a simple task dealing with the fiscal (the

Will etc.) matters than someone who has never gone

into the system.

ExceptionsTo keep it simple (remember it’s me writing this…) here

are some exceptions to the rule of ‘Having to declare’

but remember also what I said earlier about there being

no harm (only benefits) in getting into the system.

If your earned income is up to the limit of €22,000 per

year from one company paying you and it has been

taxed at source, or when coming from the sum of sev-

eral amounts received from a second or more companies

(and taxed at source) should not exceed €1,500 per

year.

If you have received profits from shares or dividends of

less than 1,600€ per year (this even applies if you have,

for example, sold a car for a profit privately).

Salaries or incomes below 11,200€ (usually pensioners)

are exempt but remember also that if you are employed

CHESS pedigree is on a par with QUEENThe Queen tribute band CHESS, share a lot of simi-larities with the original band. They are also some of the most highly qualified musicians since their idols Queen with each of them holding a degree in music or arts so when CHESS discuss music they really do know what they are talking about.

They have also come form some incredibly success-ful lineage.With Joshua and Juanma from the chart topping Spanish band Miranda Warning who hit the Spanish charts in 2000 with their first album of the same name and went on to produce two more albums until 2005 when the band broke up.The legend from South America who is Charlie stormed Argentina with his tour and then went on to conquer Central America for two years before coming to Spain in 2008.The latest member of the band Vitalie Cozari like Nick is from Moldova. Both have been in the most successful band ever to come from Moldova called Millennium

Millennium represented Moldova in the Eurovision song contest and went on to be the support band for many well know acts touring Europe including such venues as The London Astoria.

The atmosphere that CHESS create is truly sensa-tional and this bold band has already played to num-bers reaching the thousands. As such they are sure to leave their mark upon the music industry just as they have left their mark on the people who have heard their music.The culmination of their skills and hard work has been a truly remarkable first album “Victoria”. An ex-ceptional piece of musical brilliance and CHESS is definitely a band to watch out for.

The most recent venue for the CHESS ARMY to in-vade on mass is Gran Alacant’s Huginn & Muninn where CHESS are to be playing on a regular basis throughout the summer.

CHESS generally finish the gig by midnight but with Linda as the perfect host these events more often than not go on until the early hours of the morning . For more information you can visit their website at www.chessiture.com

It appears that Spanish crime fiction, whether

by Spanish authors or English language

authors, is a very poor third cousin to the

“noir” Scandinavian version and the more

sensationalist UK version. This despite the fact

that Spain and its culture provide a rich source

of material for the creation of interesting

scenarios and characters and there is a good

catalogue of crime fiction based series in

Spain ranging from Manuel Vazquez Montalban

and Domingo Villar to Robert Wilson “http://

Blackstone etc.), along with excellent one

offs such as “http://books4spain.com/book/

detail/deadly-secrets-1” Deadly Secrets by

Robert Tenison. In fact we have over 50 books

(and growing) in the Books4Spain “http://

books4spain.com/search/categorybooks/1/7”

Crime Fiction and Thriller category.

Unfortunately, I’ve not read as much Spanish

crime fiction as perhaps I should have,

something I am trying to remedy, but what I

can say is that, having recently read “http://

books4spain.com/book/detail/death-on-a-

galician-shore-1” Death on a Galician Shore,

it appears modern Spanish crime fiction is

more than capable of competing with clever,

intelligent AND realistic scenarios, of which

P. D. James and Michael Connelly are prime

examples.

Rather than focus on unrealistic scenarios,

Domingo Villar ploughs that well trodden

route of a local crime motivated by “normal”

reasons. Vigo is hardly the best known city in

Spain let alone Europe, but the descriptions

of the city and the surrounding area are vivid,

one can empathise and sympathise (or not)

with the principal characters, and the scenarios

and plot are entirely credible.

The main character, Leo Caldas, inspector of

Vigo police, is someone most people should

be able to relate to - no major quirks, defects,

strange habits or skeletons in the cupboard.

However, like many of us, he has his issues,

his problems and his idiosyncrasies - the thing

is they are realistic and not exaggerated for

affect.

The plot contains no politics, no internal

feuding or direct confrontation – I’ve

often wondered if there really is so much

confrontation and bickering in police forces

or whether it is just another device used by

authors to cover up weaknesses in the plot.

Death on a Galician Shore is book which

focuses equally on the

plot and the characters. It may sound boring

to some but it’s a relief to read a crime novel

which is not attempting to be sensionalist

and which focuses on telling a realistic story.

Villar also draws attention to the well known

(to Spaniards at least!) Galician trait of never

answering a question with a straight answer

– which is a nice “local” touch and something

I myself was not aware of, and one of my best

friends is a Galician!

If I had to find fault with the book it would be

the lack of any acknowledgement of the role of

technology or the internet in today’s modern

world and, at a push, the localised nature of

the story – Spain has a lifestyle and culture

which merits greater exploration but then I’ve

learnt very little about Scandinavian or UK

history and culture from reading Larsson et al.

In truth, Death on a Galician Shore could have

been based in any coastal fishing town/city in

northern Europe but I wonder if it had been

written by a Scandinavian author if it would

have created a much greater splash than it

actually has in the English speaking world (it

has been a best seller in the Spanish speaking

world)?

To summarise, Death on a Galician Shore is a

well written, well plotted, “classic” crime novel

and I’m looking forward to reading Water-

blue Eyes by the same author and discovering

more Spanish crime fiction, written both by

Spaniards as well as non-Spaniards.

Death on a Galician Shore is available

on “http://www.books4spain.com” www.

books4spain.com in both paperback and eBook

formats. The paperback is discounted and, for

a limited period, includes free shipping.

Constantinople, Istanbul, Orlandooooo, are all foreign sounding place names set to provide moments of travel based angst this month. Beware travel representatives and their minions for much of the month, especially those with clipboards well filled with yellow forms

Saturn is now on side to help out either financially, or more probably to give you help on the bubbles side. Look out for a hard to resist recession busting deal on a bubble making machine that will make you the sensation of your neighbourhood.

Smashing your fist on glass tables not hard enough to go through them, slamming doors just enough so that they bang but don’t fall off the wall hinges, and screaming at the top of your voice but without scaring small children or babies, are in prospect.

Leo is the only star sign that almost rhymes with Hero, and there is a reason for this: Saturn loves ya baby! and has your back in all heroic endeavours you choose, or those that are chosen for you by others. There is nothing you cannot do, nothing you cannot sing and nothing you cannot achieve to budget and on time.

But telling you to beware is like trying to balance eggs on top of each other. And you have heard such warnings from this website before... Remember, we predicted the credit crunch before world governments did - Saturn told us it was all going to end badly in 2011.

1970s disco dancing might be about to make a comeback. Certainly the fashion styles are finally coming back, so that 70’s style brown T-shirt you bought in the late 90’s is about to be in fashion. (Did you know?: Jupiter and Saturn both have Saturday Night Fever as their favourite disco movie of all time!)

There may be be a law against me telling you to take up a crime, but this month you are about to discover that crime pays and it pays in fat oodles of ripe and ready cash, espe-cially if the crime in question is completely technically legal.

Sagittarius find it almost impossible to throw things away. Their junk room is pretty much taking over their whole house, their whole life, and they laugh openly and at length in the faces of those who try to tell them to get rid of stuff. But will they listen?

This month whichever lifestyle, that of hero or villain, you have chosen, you will exceed expectations in all parameters that can measure such ‘success’.

Driving North to South, but not South to North, is very well starred this month so those on a Northerly one way journey are in for a treat, those going the other way will be bowed by problems and planetary pummellings.

Another thing that you ignored in February is also set to return with much fanfare. The charts show there is a danger of flooding, or at least wetness. Try not to be cornered.And another thing you half heard in January is set to come back to haunt you too!

Is it possible that a small heirloom you have forgotten about but is in the back of a cupboard or drawer, is set to make this month zing with interplanetary supernatural well being? The answer in short is yes...

16 ALL ABROAD! - original ideas...

Windows 8 is Coming!So you’re thinking: ‘I am only just get-ting used to Windows 7 on my com-puter...’ well folks it’s time to get fresh once again. Microsoft has released its Consumer Preview version of Win-dows 8 for all to download and use. Some of you out there running Win-dows XP on higher powered machines may be able to run Windows 8 but if you are running a 7 – 10 year old Win-dows XP box I would not recommend you to try and install Windows 8 it will just spoil your experience, I would wait until the years end and get some brand new hardware to go with the brand new Windows 8 and enjoy the experience. So you are wondering what’s new in Windows 8 well over the coming months running up to the release we are going to cover the new fea-tures and show you the great new ways of doing things in Windows 8.

TOUCH IS KING!The first major thing that Windows 8 achieves is a brilliant touch interface de-signed to run on the up and coming Win-dows tablets and also on current touch screen devices. Before now windows has struggled with the touch environment, but Windows 8 has bought the Metro interface from its successful Windows phone plat-form and also a similar Metro theme has been ported over to the XBOX . This is going to be the first screen that you see once you have entered your pass-

word and is known and the “Start Screen” whenever you press your Windows Key on your keyboard you will be greeted with this screen and no longer with the Start Menu. From this new location you will have short-cuts to all of your installed applications and also a mixture of Metro applications which will connect for example to your email ac-count or your Facebook account. The

applications with Live Tiles as they are called on Windows phone will show how many emails you have or updates to your Facebook wall or your twitter feed, basically allowing you with a quick glance to check the status of all your information. Also moving your mouse cursor to the right of the screen will auto scroll the window to reveal more shortcuts and applications.Personalization of the start screen is re-ally easy, once you have a nice collection

of Metro apps and shortcuts you can drag them around to just where you want them. The Patterned wallpaper can be changed to a colour scheme you like. There is also an “All Applications” section with all the other shortcuts on your ma-chine.There are lots of people out there who have been using Windows for over a de-cade and yes that mean users of good old XP, this start screen experience is light years away from Windows XP and pushes the boundaries between devices such as PC’s, Laptops, Phones and Tablets. Also you will find if you now use one Microsoft d e v i c e and move to another you

will not have such a learn-ing curve to tackle as they all have the same “Metro” inter-face. So that means you can switch from your Desktop PC to your grandsons Windows phone and amaze him with your skills as it will looks very similar.

So to sum things up Win-dows 8 with its new Start screen and Metro style are bringing together devices and also simplifying the way

we interact with our Pc’s and consume our personal data. But do not fret the Win-dows Desktop is still there behind the Start Screen so next time round we are going to cover how you can still interact with the Desktop and how it now functions side by side with the Start Screen.If you have any more questions regarding Windows 8 you can email us or follow us on www.facebook.com/ibertech and chat with us there.

I don’t know about you but I’m always curious as to

why people have made the move to Spain. Whether

it’s to retire and enjoy the relaxed way of life or, as

in the case of Steve and Alex Clemson and their fam-

ily, to start a new life and a new business. A busi-

ness they know only too well from their experience

running their previous upholstery business in the UK

in South Norwood, London which they did for twenty

years, but that’s all in the past, I wanted to find out

how they have found Spain and especially this re-

gion, as a place to settle as a family.

Steve and Alex had always wanted to come and

live in Spain and after buying a holiday home in La

Marina in 2001 they decided the time had come and

three years later having sold their two shops and

a warehouse they came to Spain brining their two

daughters, Ellie and Grace, and settling in Busot, just

north of Alicante.

There they bought an old finca in the countryside

and began reforming the four-bedroomed rustic

farmhouse into something a bit more habitable, and

where they still live today eight years on.

Spain.

After settling in their new home the family took a

year to have a look at the region and plan the start

of their new business, which was similar to what

they had done in the UK but on a much smaller

scale. Initially, using their experience in the trade to

source materials they began selling foam to uphol-

sterers in the region after placing some adverts in

local newspapers. Things began to pick up and soon

they were busy, not only selling foam but also they

had picked up customers looking for their re-uphol-

stery services and were now servicing clients from

as far afield as Murcia to Gandia.

The business sees them re-upholstering sofas

and household furniture mostly but the team

often get asked to climb aboard a nice boat

in one of the many ports along the coast

and f=refit the soft furnishings. Steve

told me about a large American Win-

nebago motorhome that they refitted

which was one of their finest jobs. ‘the motorhome

looked superb decked out in an off-white leather, we

did all the sofas plus the driver’s and passenger’s

seats which the owner absolutely loved and made us

extremely proud,’ Steve told me.

These days Steve, Alex and the family are settled

here in Spain and with new(er) arrival Luca (who is

6) now completing the family they have no plans to

be going anywhere else, except an annual holiday to

the lovely isle of Menorca of course.

When he’s not working, ad if he’s not sitting on his

terrace talking to people like me, Steve pursues his

hobbies of golf and watching Chelsea (that could

be painful at the moment…) and looks very content

with life. ‘it’s all about quality of life for the kids for

us,’ he told me, ‘here they have so much freedom to

do so much more – and we don’t have to have eyes

in the back of our heads, well most of the time any-

way!’

Not surprisingly the bureaucracy in Spain, especially

for businesses, is a pain but Steve and Alex said

that it was well worth the effort of making the

move to Spain really being able to enjoy

life and of course time with

the family.

B. An 18-wheeler is crossing a 4 kilome-ter bridge that can only support 10,000 kilograms and that’s exactly how much the rig weighs. Halfway across the bridge a 30 gram sparrow lands on the cab, but the bridge doesn’t collapse. Why not?

C. In a small cabin in the woods, two men lay dead. The cabin itself is not burned, but the forest all around is burned to cinders. How did the men die?

D. You are a cook in a remote area with no clocks or other way of keeping time other than a four-minute and a seven-minute hourglass. On the stove is a pot of boiling water. Jill asks you for a nine-min-ute egg, and you know she is a perfec-tionist and can tell if you undercook or overcook the egg by even a few seconds. How can you cook the egg for exactly 9 minutes?

Answers: By setting the snooze time to 9 minutes, the alarm clock only needs to watch the last digit of the time. So, if you hit snooze at 6.45, the alarm goes off again when the last digit equals 4. They couldn’t make it 10 minutes, otherwise the alarm would go off right away, or it would take more cir-cuitry.

Since the bridge is 4 kilometers long, the halfway point would be 2 kilometers. The 18-wheeler would have used much more than 30g of fuel to drive 2 kilometers.

It’s the cabin of a plane and the plane crashed.

Word riddleRiddles - Answers below

A. Why is it very common to have a 9 minute snooze interval on alarm clocks, why not 10 instead?

B. An 18-wheeler is crossing a 4 kilome-ter bridge that can only support 10,000 kilograms and that’s exactly how much the rig weighs. Halfway across the bridge a 30 gram sparrow lands on the cab, but the bridge doesn’t collapse. Why not?

C. In a small cabin in the woods, two men lay dead. The cabin itself is not burned, but the forest all around is burned to cinders. How did the men die?

D. You are a cook in a remote area with no clocks or other way of keeping time other than a four-minute and a seven-minute hourglass. On the stove is a pot of boiling water. Jill asks you for a nine-min-ute egg, and you know she is a perfec-tionist and can tell if you undercook or overcook the egg by even a few seconds. How can you cook the egg for exactly 9 minutes?

AN AUSTRALIAN LOVE POEM.......

If this doesn’t bring a tear to your eye nothing will.

Of course I love ya darlinYou’re a bloody top-notch birdAnd when I say you’re gorgeousI mean every single word

So ya bum is on the big sideI don’t mind a bit of flabIt means that when I’m readyThere’s somethin there to grab

So your belly isn’t flat no moreI tell ya, I don’t careSo long as when I cuddle yaI can get my arms round ya there

No Sheila who is your ageHas nice round perky breastsThey just gave in to gravityBut I know ya did ya best

I’m tellin’ ya the truth nowI never tell ya liesI think it’s very sexyThat you’ve got dimples on ya thighs

I swear on nanna’s grave nowThe moment that we metI thought you was as good asI was ever gonna get

No matter what u look likeI’ll always love ya dearNow shut up while the rugby’s onAnd fetch another beer

‘aving a laugh...

Difference be-tween ‘theoreti-cally’ and ‘realis-tically A small boy has a school home work question to answer, so he asks his father “ Hey Dad, what’s the difference between ‘theoreti-cally’ and ‘realistically’?”His Dad thinks for a while and then says “Right-o son.....go and ask your mother if she’d sleep with David Beckham for a million quid.”The boy trots off and comes back saying “Dad, dad, she said she would! She would sleep with David Beckham for a million pounds.”

“OK son,” says his dad. “Now go and ask your sister the same question.”

The boy toddles off, and comes back saying “Dad, dad, she said she would too!”

So then his dad says “Right, son, now go and ask your elder brother if he’d sleep with David Beckham for a million pounds.”

The son comes back excitedly say-ing “Dad! Dad! He said he would too!” “Well there you have it, son,” said his dad. Theoretically we could be sitting on three million quid. Realistically we’re living with two tarts and a poof.

AFTER EVERY FLIGHT...

Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a “Gripe Sheet”, which tells mechanics about problems with the air-craft. The mechanics inspect the problems, document any repairs on the form, and then pilots review the Gripe Sheets before the next flight. In the following examples, P are pilot notes, S are servicing replies.

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit.S: Something tightened in cockpit.

P: Dead bugs on windshield.S: Live bugs on order.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.S: That’s what friction locks are for.

P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.S: Suspect you’re right.

1. Do not walk behind me, for

I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not fol-low. Do not walk beside me for the path is narrow. In fact, just

piss off and leave me alone.

2. Sex is like air. It’s not that important unless you aren’t

getting any.

3. No one is listening until you pass wind.

4. Always remember you’re unique. Just like everyone else.

5. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

6. If you think nobody cares whether you’re alive or dead, try missing a couple of mort-

gage payments.

7. Before you criticize some-one, you should walk a mile in

their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.

8. If at first you don’t succeed, sky-diving is not for you.

9. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him

how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

10. If you lend someone £20 and never see that person again, it was probably well

worth it.

11. If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember any-

thing.

12. Some days you are the dog,some days you are the

tree.

13. Don’t worry; it only seems kinky the first time.

14. Good judgment comes from bad experience .. and most of

that comes from bad judgment.

15. A closed mouth gathers no foot.

16. There are two excel-lent theories for arguing with women. Neither one works.

17. Generally speaking, you aren’t learning much when your

lips are moving.

18. Experience is something you don’t get until just after you

need it.

19. We are born naked, wet and hungry, and get slapped on our arse - then things just keep

getting worse.

20. Never under any circum-stances take a sleeping pill and

a laxative on the same night.

1. Do not walk behind me, for ZEN TEACHINGS
