Now the land locked comments make sense i could have sworn i read you had changed your passport. i cant see there being any chance of Welsh Independence, the welsh government are fucking up wales more than any English one has LOL. If you have no intention of coming back why not just change it, seems like your holding yourself back a document doesn't make you welsh you were born here nobody can take that away from you.

It's an involved bureaucratic process that goes on for years.....and involves passing Language exams and general knowledge of Spain exams.

I could piss through the exams (wife couldn't though) but at nearly 70 I can't be arsed with that shit!

So far today we've had you Hanoverians taking a pop at the French and the Welsh! Any more nationalities you want to include?

The thing is with you lot, you don't like anybody. In fact, you don't even like each other FFS!

[Slowlycatchymonkey]

Well said Pete, you’re always fair minded and never take part in a fruitless windup using a bit of Brit bashing.

Why would I want that if I have permanent residency?

[Slowlycatchymonkey]

Sorry the way you were talking it sounded like your wife would have difficulty staying in the country if you shuffled off. 
I guess you’re actually referring to her physical dependence and that’s somehow got mixed in with the other stuff.

She could stay here forever, but she'd have a problem with her limited mobility. Plus, it wouldn't be right for her to be on her own in her old age!

So that's why an NL escape route is very important!

We can't depend on our boy in Madrid, so it has to be the younger one in NL.

Not to sound rude but isn't it a bit of an assumption to make future care plans based on your youngest sons life? 

I'm sure he'd be more than willing to look after his mum but what about his new wife? It is quite a lot to ask, especially when it's usually the woman that gets lumbered with the actual care

Not an assumption......we've already talked about it! And his wife is a lovely girl who has elderly parents as well......77 and 69. She's very family oriented.

Obviously I'm assuming that I check out first based on the fact that I'm nearly 8 years older than her. Plus, women live longer than men. However.....her family's medical history is not as good as my family's. Lot of cancer her side, none on mine.

The wife has always said I'd outlive her, and after all these years (besides my Hernia) I'm still in pretty good shape for my age. Whereas she's had health issues for over 10 years now. But I've told her that should I be the last one standing I'll be staying here!

Sounds a bit morbid but at our stage of life we have to have those conversations.

I don’t think it’s morbid, it’s simply practical, people who don’t make these sort of plans are a total pita for their relatives! 
 

Women do often have a level of endurance that’s see’s them truck on in ill health for donkeys years, men are more like dogs, they often don’t realise they’re ill until they die

Well it is always something to be spoken about, possibly even more so given you're effectively on you're own and not getting any younger so should the inevitable happen you know what will happen to the survivor

[Slowlycatchymonkey]

Yer death plans are quite an interesting topic. One Brits shy away from lest something unbearable like an emotion might surface, heaven forbid

We've told my boys to spend as little as humanely possible on cremation, keep the ashes til they have both parents crusty remains, mix them up in a tuppaware and without asking permission from anyone go and throw them (after checking the wind direction ) off the edge of Burgh Island into the sea.

Should I become infirm or suffer dementia etc they are under strict instructions to not provide my care, I'd prefer a professional to do that, well meaning relatives are all well and good in theory but they're are often shit carers so a nice care home for me, and I mean nice, the sort thats like a hotel but with one caveat, they put hidden webcams in my room so they can check up sneaky style that the staff are nice!

[Clive]

Me and my wife are having the cheap cremation, just from place of death to the local crem,  and ashes returned to family in a polythene bag.

Hope it don't happen anytime soon as our kids have made us dip into the fund.

You waaa? You've had to spend your death fund on your kids already?

[Clive]

We have saved for several years, we have got the money for a funeral for me and my wife.

But daughter wants £1100 for her Pugshite  gearbox repairs next week, and non working son has sent his partner round for more money for food, so they owe us £300 when she gets paid, bleeding kids.

We"re paying for the grandkids school books next week. Probably about €350-400.

[Clive]

Our daughter will pay us back over 3 months, non working son asking for a loan is a monthly ongoing thing, every month they run out of food money, time he got his arse to work, but its been nearly 20 years since he worked, at 43 he is getting too old to change his ways.  

[Slowlycatchymonkey]

Fuck that. 

Really just fuck that. 

But also yer I get it

Why is he the way he is @Clive?

Yours is IMO a bit different. For whatever reason he's damaged goods who shacked up with a nutjob and bred with her before he realised what was going on (men and their dicks, it happens) and now doesn't have the wherewithal to get himself out of the situation. Thats just sad.

[Clive]

We cannot fathom him out, both me, my wife and daughter (she works all hours, nights/weekends) have always worked since leaving school, my wife had to finish work early with her buggered knees, but our son  

Son...He did have a Well paid job steel erecting, but he just walked out one day (20 years ago) and has never worked since.

He does not even sign on.....wasted the best years of his life.

Nail on the head Caroline!

He spent 11 years here, wouldn't get out and meet people or make any attempt to learn the language........then he started talking to her on Twitter. It's the saddest case of First Shag Syndrome I've ever known!

If I'd come here at 17 I'd have been like a kid in a toy shop with the young Spanish birds that are about! What you say @Skippy? I expect you've noticed @Six30?

And what's great is they'll fall for any old bullshit you come out with! And bullshitting females is my specialist subject! 

I'd have been wiping my cock in the curtains all the way from Barcelona to Malaga!
