I already employ that technique in Blighty, a little bit of recognition goes a long way The key is to not lie, if they have a skill you dont have or are prepared to take on a job you dont want to do then taking a moment to appreciate that takes nothing more than some good words or occasionally a few extra bob. -

Built up and not in a pretty way, crowded, dirt, dust n gravel beach, just not appealing, reminds me of a sprawling housing estate with big town facilities. Salobrenas population is 12,000 which is high compared to the rest of the villages round here, it doesn’t feel busy at all parking is easy and the population means most of what you need is here. Plus its prettyish -

The Himalayan is dandy, was well looked after and had done just over a thousand miles when I got it but the previous Continental owner was a tinkerer and I think not a great one. Stayed in Granada city centre twice while doing recces out here, it is a nice city and one of the reasons I was happy to choose here. Being far out in the sticks seems appealing at first but for me long term having access to services whether its a hospital or just an apple store to get your phone fixed was always a priority. Granada is still an hour away but thats good enough for me. Motril next door has a population of 60,000 so they have most of what I want services wise, wouldnt want to live there though! -

Brilliant THANKYOU -
Yep I can see that and Im on for a hiding with it cos Im f’in deaf and thats a killer cos you cant hear the nuances just a general overall sound, you cant lip read a language you dont know so its going to be a long road. But I can already read it much better than I thought I ever would so I think its sinking in anyway and then itll be a case of understanding the pronunciation. I really dont get every word having a male or female gender though!

You dont like tea? What sort of fresh hell is this? I bought a ‘few’ teabags over in my panniers, Im already 3/4s of my way down the first one in less that 4 days, tea is the balm the world needs, people cant do bad things while drinking tea

Hes got a nice chain now and Guillermo (I think that’s pronounced William?) at the RE dealership in Granada is a really f’in nice guy, a good connection to have. Said if there is anything at all he can help us with just get in touch. TBH him and the pick up truck driver were so kind it really did turn Mr Slowlys crappy day... well that n the hot food and large whisky waiting for him -

Yep its a sickly kind of feeling, you have been done. When theres only a few bob involved its such an ahole thing to do. When its a significant sum that would effect someones future (ie leave them potless and homeless) I can get my head round why someone lies but the bike stuff thats just a shitty way to behave. -
Thanks for the advice. I have always approached other countries with the idea Im a guest in their country and have never considered my presence anywhere a gift to anyone plus Ive reached an age where being myself happens regardless of my intentions so that parts sorted Ive seen what youre talking about, the superiority thing is cringingly rude. Mr Slowly and I like our own company and making friends with Brits is not something I want at all. Having said that the Brit that went up to the next motorway junction and came back cos he saw us broken down was a lovely guy, a Kwak rider though but I wouldn’t hold that against him

Lying is so annoying, it wastes everyones time, creates bad feeling and in some cases puts their health/life at risk. Usually motivated by the filthy lucre. They should tax lying and bonus then we’d finally be getting some use out of our politician’s -
