Perhaps all participants should be held accountable. That would include Putin, Zelenskyy, Macron, Johnson, the EU and the US.

It would be good to get to the bottom of this. Indeed to establish the casus belli, not just to try one person. After all it takes more than one side to have an argument!

I won´t sign the petition as it looks like it would be a kangaroo court without looking at the picture as a whole

Does anyone know where to buy cost-effective vapes in Spain?

 

In the UK you can vape for less than a pound a week. In Spain, however, there are hugely overpriced Blu and Vype e-cigs which cost about 14 euros a week. Their refill "casettes" cost €3.50 each and they are sealed so you can´t refill them yourselves as you can in the UK.

 

In the UK refillable e-cigs can be refilled from bottles of e-cig liquid, hence the low cost.

 

But in Spain I have not found any refillable ones. Does anyone know of any?

 

Can Blu "casettes" be forced open to allow a DIY refill?

You can legally drive a Spanish hire car on your UK insurance, regardless of whether you have the 'excess insurance' or not. That is what I have been doing as a tourist.

 

What I'm planning ahead for is for when - next year - I move to Spain full time and buy a car in Spain. It would be easier if any UK insurance companies had their own operations in Spain - but maybe not. I wonder if Mr Kavanagh has misunderstood my request?

 

It looks like I'll have to take the bull by the horns and, when I buy a Spanish car, take out a Spanish insurance policy. As we are - for now - in the EU a Spanish policy would, I understand, cover me to drive a third party's car on my trips back to the UK.

 

Thanks for all views offered.

Can someone help,please?

In recent years I have visited Spain frequently and have rented cars. I am tax resident in the UK and drive the hire cars on my UK car insurance.

Sometime early next year I will more permanently to Spain and become tax resident in Spain.

At that point I will buy a car in Spain.

What should I do about insurance? Should I find a Spanish car insurance company or would my UK company be likely to continue to insure me? Would my maximum No Claims Discount be recognised in Spain?

Would a Spanish insurance policy allow me to drive cars on my return to the UK.

I'm sure I'm not alone in having this problem. Any views?

All answers gratefully received.
