Try to get some more discount. Tell them you are also looking at another car and they might drop it another 200-400 Euros. then when they give you it, tell them you are on a budget and try for another 200 Euros. They have always dropped a little from the original offer because I think they have a li...

I didn't even realise the nurse had done mine. I did start to feel a little pain a day or so later especially if I touch the area around the jab. My wife said she couldn't sleep lying on that side after her (Pfizer) jab but mine was nowhere near that bad. I did experience some tiredness, which I'm n...

It's incredible how much our shopping habits have changed over the last few years. We used to do a big shop once a week to Eroski, then now and again to go one of the others. Now we have Mercadona we tend to go more often but pick up much less as well as going to the big ones much less. I like Carre...

I am not considered a key worker but came inside the 60-65 age group that they were testing. I got the text to apply late on Thursday evening but didn't make the appointment until the next morning. My neighbour, who comes in the same group, was too late because they had run out so has to wait a litt...

In Spain it seems that it is also 12weeks for AstraZeneca at least that is what Marks post has indicated. That is my situation with AstraZeneca. My wife had the Pfizer and they were three weeks apart. This seems to confirm that Spain is going to delay the period between AstraZeneca doses and is not...

How longs he works as an Autonomo will determine whether he receives a pension or not in Spain. I would like to add another question which might be relevant to his situation. Is it necessary to pay autonomo when you are already collecting your pension or is it only necessary to pay IRPF ( income tax...

I had the AstraZeneca. Here it's 12 weeks apart. My next one is 27th June 20 minutes before the start of the quarter final of the European championships for which I have tickets. I'll try to go a bit early to see if they will let me get away for the match. I arrived about 20 minutes early for this o...

Had my first jab this evening. The next one is in June so there must have been a change of policy. My 81 year old mother in law hasn't had hers yet.

It’s true though about the way some British people think. I remember one of the first times in Andalusia. I was in a massive Electric and white goods store and this guy was telling the salesman that he should get a discount because he was going to buy a fridge and washing machine as if it was a rare...

In certain places in Spain the restrictions have been even lighter. I can move around the autonomous region. Last weekend I spent the day in San Sebastián and yesterday I went to a small medieval town about 2 hours from here. Nevertheless If the rate goes above the limit, towns close their borders u...

Even though it wasn't necessary, My dentist sent me a text message with the justification for an appointment I had yesterday.

Yes it was sensationalist to say that 500 will be deported. Anyway, most people know that there is a legal process to deportation, which takes a lengthy period of time so it's important to read beyond the headline especially one from the Express, which is known to print plenty of untruths regarding ...

strange, i tried radio 1, and radio 1 xtra last night and it said "unavaliable" on simple radio I've just checked Radio 1 and it is working. Do you use a VPN? In this case it might be better to have it switched off while listening This is the App I have https://apps.apple.com/us/app/simpl...

This might more to do with BBC policy and other stations do not comply. https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/aboutthebbc/entries/37e4e3f6-fbd2-4c14-8d72-7f7139641582 This is one time where not being in the UK benefits us. For example, BBC is not available using Tunein in the UK but is in Spain and anywhere e...

Another derogatory way of describing people with different views. I will take whichever vaccine is offered to me as will most people I know. 'Sensible' is the word I would use.

Maybe, However, didn't he appear on a reality game show not so long ago so not too old for that? Anyway, that's the way the British press works No need to stalk anyone these days as everyone has a good camera at hand and he knows that. Most people can sympathise with forgetting to put on the mask bu...

Bit unfair how the Stanley Johnson phrase is being used. Thousands were skipping off last year (including some on this forum). We have seen daily photos of the rich and famous cavorting around the worlds trendy spots. An article yesterday revealed Rod Stewart has the lockdown blues. Not so long ago...

But if you get your information from a guy in the pub. Here it doesn't happen very often but I remember a guy from Liverpool who told me he'd rather not register. I wonder if he did eventually register or if he's having problems.

... Half the population are not registered at their correct address. They remain registered at addresses that provide the most financial benefit!! From where did you get that information. :crazy: Cheers Gerry Believe it or not that is what happens here. People from Bilbao who live in Cantabria pref...

My latest laptop and iPad both charge with USB C chargers. The laptop didn’t come supplied with one but I bought one in Eroski to try and it charges my wireless iPhone charger, my iPad and the laptop so with one cable I can charge all 3. What I would like though is a USB C wall charger to keep in my...
