You'll pay more for motor insurance (though Recovery is always included) but less on vehicle tax. It was about €25 for the bike. ITV (MOT) is €34 which lasts for 2 years unless your vehicle is over 10 years old. Then it's annual.

You were judging dossing about? So there was a Dossing competition? Considering the area you went to, there was probably a strong field! Brits and Spaniards! But my money will always be on the Dago! It's embedded in their DNA!

Are you able to claim some of that back as you're OAP's?

It's definitely cheaper to live out here than in Britain. When I see what they pay for Gas, Water, Electricity, Council Tax etc I don't know how people manage. We pay about €50 a month electric, €50 a quarter water, Council Tax €170 a year, and about €50 a month on wood pellets from November to April. I think food is a lot cheaper as well, but it's difficult for me to be specific because it's so long since I was in Britain.

What is is that you like about being in Spain?

Looks like tomorrow is going to be the day for me......unless the forecast is wrong again. We were supposed to have had rain throughout the week, but we've had nothing apart from a little shower overnight. You lot doing anything that's remotely of interest?

Sorry to hear that Ian!

So you could see yourself living over here then?

You missing Spain?

No doubt he's over the moon cos he doesn't have to tolerate Johnny Foreigner now!

You're getting another Harley?

@Slowlycatchymonkey........what about one for @Buckster?

Heard from Reestreno yet?

You've got to carry it round now?

That's around the time I was there last!

Yeh......that sounds tempting!

Bridlington? I went there a few times in the late 80's and early 90's........seemed nice enough.

Not Mablethorpe again?

Scoot out?

Probably a better option than being the old Ray Skipp!

They forecast rain all week and we haven't seen a drop! And it seems like it's going to be decent weather on the weekend too. I'd give @Skippy a shoot out to see if he's about.......but unfortunately it looks like his current shed is still incapacitated! I did suggest the way forward last year......but he never listens!

Well it's another day of mindless shit here!

Just when you think Marcel might be losing his grip on TOTY he pulls one out of the hat!

Yeh.......nothing shows up. Whether she's still alive now I'm not so sure......I have checked Death notices but no results. But she had no info either so it would have been a waste of time talking to her. No way I'd communicate with her anyway.......she's a contributory factor to the position I've been in for years. Give you an example of her mindset.......when the middle one left school he got a job as an apprentice electrician. Which would have been a good trade for him to have! But when she found out that meant less Social Security going to her due to more money coming into the house, she made him jack it in and go on the dole. And stay on the dole! Eventually the boys left Swansea, and she was left on her own for years! Finally as a bitter, twisted old woman she started trying to find them in 2013. So in trying to hang me.......she hanged herself as well. And fucked the kids up for life in the process.

80+ mpg as well Scott! But these morons on here absolutely hate it for some reason!
