I absolutely agree with Less - the lights are a waste of our council tax.

How much?..............how many local traders would that subsidise in reduced rents?.....and they would probably put their own lights up.

What about walking up any street in Lancashire without being in fear of some yobo taking a pot shot at you?

I take it the UK was good enough for you while you were filling up your pension?
Why not come back here and find out what it is really like. Or do you have to stay in Spain in case the try to land snatch you? :rolleyes:

I come back 4 or 5 times a year and don't like what I see.
I don't doubt that you have no problem walking down the street but nearing seventy years old I would have to think twice.
I have no fears about land grab....the young lady who owns the property we live in is Spanish. :)

Oh dear, Oh dear, six years in the far east because you took the shilling, how long ago? Yet you still think it worth a mention, many other people have done similar but since leaving the forces get on with life, try to do the same please.

If you don't like what you see, don't come back, leave it to those off us still here, we can sort it better without your distant superiority.

Good I'm glad your tax & insurance is paid up that means you are entitled to keep being a burden on the NHS over here rather than use Spain's facilities, why should they pay for you?

Now, after your ex-pats growl at the rest of us can we get back on thread,

How much are you prepared to pay for wellies to play with children?

P.S. call me, I miss you!

As for the question regarding kids wellies............strange, very strange. :eek:

Before you suggest that I have a mental illness as you did with another member.........think very carefully.

I thought you had more sense that get into a debate like this Margaret.
For the record...........I don't claim the winter fuel payment.

Stanleymad...........Do you really know what you are talking about?

Ah, but then it was well past the yard arm for you wasn't? About five hours worth of cheap rum past, looking at the time of your post.

As for mental illness and you, funny you should bring the subject up....

Now that you are on Would you like to buy some second hand Christmas lights, Hyndburn council might sell you some and I could willingly tell you where to put them.

Why don't you just decide that you don't like me and stop trying to show yourself up? Others on here are taking advantage of your attempts at wit and your good humoured approach.
