You have tried cleaning it I suppose? A good blast with one of those compressed air in a can thingys can move all sorts of debris lurking under a key. I expect you have done this, but it does sometimes work.

They sell it in any spanish supermarket - why pay Icelands inflated plrces?

This has brought back some happy/sad memories for me. When this thread started I was happy living in Spain with no intention of going back, sadly OH's health was suffering and he wanted to go back to the UK, so with a heavy heart we put the property on the market expecting to still be there now, and...

Who's been at the vino again.

aren't some of the above illegal? Or did you work for the BBC?

Some of you may remember my gaffe years ago when I had "a goat making" brownies! I do like goats!

I like some of lidl's cleaning products - dishwasher rinse aid and salt, bin bags and cleaning cloths to name a few.

What ever you do - keep this thread away from Beach!

I always used the local dentist in the village - she was trained and worked in Madrid for years and her partner actually commutes 3 days a week to the village from Madrid. No point in me recommending her - Casariche is miles away! What I would say is ask the locals who they use, dentistry prices in ...

NHS costs £17.50 for a check up, £48 for treatment - fillings, extractions root canal etc and a max of £209 for crowns or dentures. If you need treatment, the £17.50 is taken into account I think prices went up slightly on 1st April. OH is currently having a root canal and has had 5 appointments for...

A terrible disaster - and so many childen killed too. Makes you appreciate European weather - at least there is no tornado alley weither in Spain or the UK, nor do we (as a rule) get hurricanes, whiteouts, volcanic eruptions although I do remember Lorca (?) having an earthquake.

At £11 for a pnt and a cider the holiday maker over in UK should drink in Wetherspoons - a shed load cheaper! (Jjeez didn't pay that much in London!)

Where does that put Ireland then?

To quote Mark Twian there are "Lies, damned lies, and statistics. Trouble with statistics is you can make them say anything you want them to! Give me facts any day to help me make up my mind!

OMG I've just paid £2/12/6 for 4 pints of milk and 6 rolls! haven't prices changes since decimalisation!

Glad to see broadband prices have come down - we really did pay aabout 88€ per month - it was about 55€ if I remember rightly just to have a telefonica land line.

Broadband - forgot to say for a total of £39.00 per month with BT I get :- a. Free calls 24/7. b. 16 Mbs broadband (exchange wont go any faster) c. Line rental, d. Unlimited broadband e. BT Vision - full package If I went for no TV package, and free calls w/ends and evenings it would cost me &23...

We find that food shopping is about the same over here as it was when we shopped in Mercadons - what is cheaper (by far) is electricity - we paid an average of 100€ a month in Spain - here its £68 a month for both gas and electric. Phone and broadband is £30 per month - we paid 88€ to Movistar! In r...

And there was me thinking this was a thread about how well UKIP have done in local council elections! I'm over the moon as the UKIP in Lincolnshire have now promised to do something about the potholes in the roads - far more important at the moment than party politics and a referendum on staying in ...

I watched the results unfolding during the day and the interviews they did with people, for example Boston, Lincs, and it was obvious why people voted UKIP, because they have no jobs, no housing and are swamped with the largest number of immigrants of any town in the UK. 3 UKIP members of the same ...

Well ! I am pleased to see that the protest voters ( I don't want to argue over why they vote the way they do) have turned out and they are making their mark :) A whole 29% of the electorate bothered to vote here in Lincolnshire, as a result 3 members of the same family are now councillors for UKIP...

I read the candidate statements in our local paper on Sdaturday, and would love to copy them here, but can't find them online! What is available online is that 4 of the local candidates all have the same surname - Ransome - which is causeing a bit of amusement locally! Of the 7 candidates in Boston,...
