Lidls have great products, often winning 'best of' in various categories. Sure i recently recall they got the gold gong for olive oil. Yes, they have some great products, but their olive oil was rated as the worst in an OCU test. https://english.elpais.com/elpais/2018/10/25/inenglish/1540471744_944...

Lidls have great products, often winning 'best of' in various categories. Sure i recently recall they got the gold gong for olive oil. I'm not really a gin drinker, rum being my tipple. However I'm pretty much addicted to tjier strawberry gin at the moment and way less calories than rum. Their perle...

Google Lens has been doing that for a while as has google translate. Seems a bunch of tjeir apps have been brought together under the Go umbrella.

I believe that the 40% tax rate is levied on short term rental income for non residents. We rent out our UK home and have to declare the income on both uk and spanish tax returns annually. It is treated as straigjt oncome and taxed at standard rates after allowable deductions. Been doing this for 12...

Round of applause for paddy. For the sake of a tenner taking the deluxe cover seems a no brainer. One less thing to have to search when ee do get to travel again. Just noticed an earlier post regarding the effect on other insurances. Have just renewed the landlord insurance on our uk house. No probl...

Agree with that.. Kodi takes ages to start up cheking for new shows, updates, media files etc. Find that i have been using it less and less in favour of netflix and prime. One great feature though is that configured correctly it will notify you when a new series of something you are watching is rele...

Likewise for us it's primarily UK. One day, although not making plans we will be able to go back to the uk. Wife is bereft as we haven't seen our kids and grandkids for over a year, and it's looking likely that we will have to cancel our daughter's august trip here for the second year running. Have ...

Thought t I'd take a look at Zest, just to get an idea of their deals. Tried 3 different sets of dates to rent a car from gatwick. For every inquiry it came back with no cars available. Same searches on carhire300 produced dozens of available cars... Also interested if anybody comes up with a rental...

For computer bits try appinformatica.com. They generally have very competitive prices and there's most likely to be a store near you.

Simple, just order them on the Spanish site for gifts to Spain and vice versa for UK. Your Amazon account is a universal account and works in any country. Sid Thee is loads of stuff that is available from amazon.uk which isn't available from amazon.es, or de or fr for that matter. Sometimes there i...

Just had our quote from LD for home insurance renewal. 330euros. Got a quote from Sabadell who came bac with 195euros... Plus no further bank charges for taking out their insurance. Win win it seems.

Tejiero in competa have done good work, including rejas for us in the past. Head up the road towards competa and you'll find them on your right hand side a kilometrr or so before the mirador. The builders yard is on the main road, the metalworkshop is behind it.

Hi Mark, DuckDuckgo .......... its been around for sometime, but as you say seems to be getting promoted with all Privacy concerns of late. Have used it but went back to Google I get better results for Techy searches I'm always doing. Give it a go. Any one remember AltaVista...... ? that was a grea...

Another big advantage of running the tv via a ups is that when the power goes off in the evening you aren't immediately plunged into complete darkness as the screen stays on. No groping around in the dark for a torch.

Hi Enrique, Just did the speed test and the result is 11.96...does that help? When the chap came to the house he did say the speed was between 10-15 but even as he was saying it some channels were not working properly. I pointed this out and he said he did not know why! I am monitoring the tv over ...

Hi casita-bonita, "Now to investigate getting the [email protected]....

Word of warning folks. One of our cars is due an itv in march, can't remember the actual date. So given the postings recently that suggested long lead times today i asked my village garage to book me an itv for early march. The earliest appointment they could get in algarobbo was for 29th March... S...

Be careful you can only change your Google Play country once every 6 months. I recommend setting up a second account. I have 4 accounts on my phone for Google play and switch between themwithin Google Play as I need That's why i didn't want to change my main account. I thought it was 12 months tho....

That's the plan now we are back from our daily walkabout... Thanks Gerry

However the app page says not available in my country... Subsequently found it on another app repository. Installed successfully, now n...
