So glad you found it and liked it. I have been over 5 times this year and quite frankly find it harder and harder to come back to the UK each time. There is definately something to be said for waking up in lovely surroundings in the sunshine! The vast majority of people I have come across in Camposol are decent folk who take pride in their surroundings. Obviously there are the minority who dont - but you come across them everywhere. All in all my husband and myself are extremely happy to have bought there.

All the best Candyfloss. Perhaps we will meet up one of the times you are over. I will buy you a wee hauf in one of the bars.

Noggins - go and do exactly as you have decided. My husband and myself have just gotten back from Camposol at 5am this morning after yet another blissful two weeks. It gets harder and harder to come back to the UK after each visit.  Please make your own mind up. We, like you, will be taking 6 mths when we are ready to retire (early) to decide if we wish to stay there permanently or do 6 mths and 6 mths. It is always a good idea to experience it for yourselves. I personally have been over 7 times within the past 14 months  and all my family and friends who have visited have had the same comment, they have been totally chilled out by the experience. As for Mutley's comments, I believe that some of what he or she says isnt far from the mark. Although I couldnt agree with picking out individuals on an open forum.
Go to Camposol and enjoy.
All the best.

Yup - we said the same about the Poll tax the year before everyone else had it. The gentleman in question I assure you rides roughshod over more than your nation. We are all affected by a lot of his decisions.

However, this is the type of debate which is best dealt with between friends and over a beer dont you think? If you are ever over in our part of Murcia or in fact in our part of Lanarkshire and wish to continue this debate Xetog (or anyone else for that matter) we would be only too happy to oblige. We will even buy the first round.

Suffice to say, if everything goes according to plan, my OH and myself will be taking early retirement and removing ourselves from the situation to warmer climes and a step back in time to when respect was an integral part of day to day living.

Viva Espana lol

Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, English citizens of whatever race, creed or colour will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths and allow themselves to rekindle the patriotism that put the Great in Great Britain.

Just as a matter of debate - what has the current leader of the Labour Party's birthplace got to do with the current mess? Seems to me that his predecessor didnt do much better. Surely its the politics that count? Or am I missing something?

A bit of banter is one thing, and we are all guilty of that, but as others in this thread have pointed out, its getting harder to think of a reason to be patriotic and proud.

Oh, and the cheque to pay for the car from the Social Security..............they obviously lied about why they needed the money. No way would someone get a Social Security handout to buy a car. Suffice to say I have first hand knowledge of the system.

This is a reply to Kelju
Nae offence Kelju - but your comment in your final sentence does it all for me. There are more people who speak English than the English. There are more people in Great Britain than the English. Sorry but it really does my head in. What about Scotland, Ireland or Wales - not to mention all the other countries in the world where the mother tongue is English. It is just that sort of attitude which causes problems in the first place. Oh and before you go off on one - I am not anti English. I just appreciate the other folks in the equation.
