In my opinion

CHILDREN EDUCATION

is a priority

Considering the political changes that have taken place in recent years, perhaps it is time for a fresh update on the education front.

www.webexpressguide.com

11

Some parents think that the best option is to place their children in a Spanish state school and immerse them in the language and culture of Spain, however the older the children are, the more difficult it will be for them to fit in. When some children find it hard to make friends even when they speak the same language, imagine how hard it would be for them to be dropped in at the deep end so to speak.

Due to the increased influx of different nationalities and cultures, some state schools are filled to bursting point. The infrastructure simply cannot cope with the influx of foreigners. Of course this is also happening in the U.K. with immigrants putting a strain on the education system and the National Health Service; the majority of Brits complain bitterly about it, but that is exactly what some of us are doing here.Â

12

www.webexpressguide.com

Putting a child, with absolutely no knowledge of the Spanish language into a Spanish state school means that that child would have to sit through every lesson not understanding a single word. Should the teacher speak some English or translate via another English speaking child, it takes time and puts a strain on both the teacher and the class; and what about children who speak other languages?

It is advisable to organize private Spanish lessons before the child starts school and give him the chance to understand some of the lessons without special help.

When a school in the U.K. is given a glowing report from Ofsted, people move house just to be in the catchment area and there have been cases, that have even been reported on national television, where battles have erupted because one child has been given a place in a highly rated school and another

refused because they live on the wrong side of the street and are therefore outside the catchment area. We must remember this when we come to Spain as there are schools that are highly rated and ones that are not.

Some will go the extra distance for the extranjeros and employ classroom assistants or offer extra Spanish lessons after school, some will not.

We must also remember that, before coming to Spain, we all had different ideas of how our children should be educated. Some of the children will have attended state schools in the U.K., others private day schools or boarding schools One of the benefits of sending your child to an International School is that, if you have to return to the U.K. there will be no serious glitch in your child’s education as all British Schools in Spain follow the British National Curriculum. International Primary schools, in general, give Spanish lessons every day, whilst, depending on the timetable, your child would have three or four hours a week at Secondary. Most schools would offer extra Spanish lessons out of school hours.

One important point to remember is that you were adventurous enough to up sticks and settle in Spain so, it stands to reason that your child may well be the same and might want to up sticks and move back to the U.K. so don’t close all the doors on the way out.

If he or she decides to move back to the U.K., either to attend university or to start a career, they will need a good level of English.

English Language and Literature is taught as a first language in the International schools but, obviously, Spanish is the first language in Spanish schools.

If you decide to opt for an International school, choosing the right one is, of course,

extremely important. The choice should be based on several considerations; you should take into account the distance between home and school and traffic congestion. If you are intending to work, your child may have to rely on public transport services unless the school has a private bus service. Remember, a school that is only twenty minutes away by car could take double that time on a bus with regular stops and a not-so-direct route.

Other factors for consideration are: does the school have an entrance exam? What is the ethos of the school? What are the class sizes?

What are the facilities like? What is included in the fees? Is there a waiting list?

Many of the larger International schools now have waiting lists and the class sizes have grown considerably. Some families arriving on the coast during the summer months wait until just before the beginning of the academic year to look for a suitable school only to find there are no places available for their children. Organizing schooling must be given priority and, if you find the right school, enrol your children before the holidays then relax and enjoy the long Spanish summer.

Can you

survive a divorce? Можете ли вы пережить развод? ¿Puedes sobrevivir al divorcio?

The average length of a marriage these days is between 8 to 15 years worldwide Средняя одолжительность брака в наши дни составляет от 8 до 15 лет по всему миру La duración media de un matrimonio estos días es de entre 8 a 15 años en todo el mundo

Although the number of lifelong marriages is becoming a thing of the past, in general it would seem that couples work hard at saving their marriages when the number of breakdowns between 0-2 years is the lowest.

It is a known fact that the main cause of divorces is down to infidelity; however other reasons cannot be 14

www.webexpressguide.com

overlooked, bearing in mind that the underlying factor is lack of communication between the partners. I mean to say communication about serious issues that need redressing and agreeing.

Physical, psychological or emotional abuse by either party is another main cause of divorces. This can take many forms and it needs serious professional help to

save a marriage and great understanding and love on the part of the victim.

All other reasons are easier to deal with subject to good communication, mainly financial issues, sexual incompatibility, boredom, cultural differences, children, addiction, and differences in priorities.

When there is no further

scope for discussion, the partners will want to dissolve their relationship and move on in search of a better life.

Getting a divorce is easy and inexpensive but can each afford to go his or her own way?

It takes two incomes to keep a household going these days.

Selling the house, paying off the mortgage and coming out with enough capital to pay a deposit or even a rent on your own can be one of the main causes of forced cohabitation.

Strangely enough this resolution can actually work out better than a total separation, mainly due to the fact that honest and straight communication can now take place.

So how do you survive a divorce? In the first place, analyse why it hasn't worked and reach a mutual understanding of the reasons.

Once these are clear and understood, the next step

Хотя количество долгих браков уходит в прошлое, в целом, кажется, пары упорно работают над сохранением брака, так как число разводов первые два года самое низкое.

is to forget resentments and old emotions and start concentrating on a separate cohabitation for as long as it takes for each to get straight on his/her own.

At this point, the couple is no longer sleeping in the same bed. When decisions are made and life takes a calmer and more positive outlook, it is best to avoid getting involved in other external relationships, just as it is wiser not to get tempted into the same bed again. Should the latter happen there is the danger of an emotional reconnection and a re-union however good or bad an outcome that may be.

It important to set out the rules that work for both; make them clear and ensure they are respected like not entering a room without knocking. It is important to respect the sensitivity of the other partner.

Separate shopping or not,

Это изветсный факт, что основная причина развода - измена. Однако, нельзя упускать из вида и другие причины, учитывая, что оснoвопологающим фактором является

separate cooking or not, different eating times, two different televisions in different rooms, whatever is agreed should be written down agreed, respected and never discussed or resented.

It is sad to have to recognise it is all down to money after all. When living as a unit, it is essential to agree how the bills are going to be paid in the mean time and by whom. Write the plan down, get separate bank accounts, and split the finances.

Remember the arrangement is only temporary until a financial solution is found to enable both parties to start a new life of their own.

Mutual respect in exchange for a new, happier life is a small price to pay.

отсутствие общения между партнерами. Я хочу сказать о серьезных проблемах в общении, обсуждении и решении проблем. Физическое, www.webexpressguide.com

психологическое и эмоциональное насилие одного из партнеров также одна из основных причин развода. Это может быть выражено в разных формах, но точно нуждается в профессиональной помощи для сохранения брака. Все другие проблемы легче решить при условии взаимопонимания, главным образом, финансовые вопросы, сексуальную несовместимость, скуку, культурные различия, детей, наркоманию и разные приоритеты Когда больше нет возможности для дальнейшего обсуждения и решния проблем, партнеры прекращают отношения и в поиске лучшей жизни в одиночку. Получить развод легко и просто, но сможет ли каждый пойти своей дорогой? Продажа дома, погашение ипотечного кредита и, чтобы после развода иметь достаточно денег для оплаты депозита или арендной платы, могут быть одной из главных причин 16

www.webexpressguide.com

для вынужденного дальнейшего совместного проживания. Как ни странно, но такое решение может быть лучше, чем полное разделение, так как теперь честное и прямое общение имеет место быть. Как же пережить развод? В первую очередь проанализировать, почему это случилось и достичь понимания причин. После того как все осмыслено, следующий шаг - забыть все обиды и старые эмоции и сконцентрироваться на отедельном проживании, пока каждый не начнет собственную жизнь. На данном этапе пара больше не спит в одной кровати. Когда решения приняты и жизнь становится более спокойной и позитивной, то лучше не ввязываться в новые отношения, так как разумнее не соблазниться опять на совместную кровать. Если последнее произойдет, то существует опасность эмоционального повторного единения, и это может закончиться и хорошо и плохо.

Важно установить правила, которые всем подходят. Сделать четкими и строго их соблюдать, например, не входить в комнату без стука. Важно уважать чувства другого партнера. Раздельный шоппинг или нет, раздельная готовка или нет, разное время приема пищи, два телевизора в разных комнатах. Все что согласовали требуется соблюдать, уважать, никогда не обсуждать и не возмущаться Грустно признавать, но все сводится к деньгам. Когда живешь вместе, необходимо договориться как, когда и кем будут оплачиваться счета. Напишите план, сделайте отдельные банковские счета и разделите финансы. Помните, что договоренность носит лишь временный характер, пока финансовое решение не будет найдено и позволит партнерам начать новую собственную жизнь. Взаимное уважение взамен на новую счастливую жизнь очень маленькая цена.

El número de matrimonios para toda la vida se está convirtiendo en una cosa del pasado, en general, el número de divorcios entre los 0-2 años representan el porcentaje mas bajo de divorcio, parece que las parejas trabajan duro para salvar su matrimonio.

La principal causa de divorcios, la infidelidad, se ha reducido sin embargo a aumentado la falta de comunicación entre la pareja. Quiero decir la comunicación acerca de los problemas graves que se deben abordar y acordar.

El abuso físico, psicológico o emocional por cualquiera de las partes es otra causa.

Puede tomar muchas formas y necesita de ayuda profesional para salvar el matrimonio y una gran comprensión y amor por parte de la víctima.

Todas las demás razones son más fáciles de tratar sujetas a una buena comunicación, principalmente se trata de aspectos financieros, la incompatibilidad sexual, el aburrimiento, las diferencias culturales, los niños, la adicción, y las diferencias en las prioridades.

Cuando no hay más espacio para el debate, las parejas deciden disolver su relación y seguir adelante en busca de una vida mejor. Conseguir un divorcio es fácil y barato,

pero puede que no se puedan permitir vivir cada uno por su lado.

Hoy en día se necesitan dos ingresos para mantener un hogar. La venta de la casa, el pago de la hipoteca y salir con un capital suficiente para pagar un depósito o incluso un alquiler por su propia cuenta puede ser una de las principales causas de la cohabitación forzada.

Por extraño que parezca esta resolución en realidad puede funcionar mejor que una separación total, debido principalmente al hecho de que ahora puede tener lugar la comunicación honesta y clara.

Entonces, ¿cómo sobrevivir a un divorcio? En primer lugar, analizar por qué no ha funcionado y llegar a un entendimiento mutuo.

Una vez que todo este claro y entendido el siguiente paso es olvidar rencores y viejas emociones y empezar a concentrarse en una convivencia separada necesario para que cada uno pueda superarlo.

En este punto, la pareja ya no duerme en la misma cama.

Tomadas las decisiones la vida se hace más tranquila y más positiva, lo mejor es evitar involucrarse en otras relaciones externas, al igual que es más prudente no tentarse a dormir

en la misma cama de nuevo.

Si esto último sucede, existe el peligro de una re-conexión emocional y una re-unión.

Que pude ser bueno o malo.

Es importante establecer las reglas que funcionan para ambos; que sean claras y que sean respetadas como no entrar en una habitación sin llamar a la puerta; es importante respetar la sensibilidad de la otra pareja.

Las compras por separado o no, la cocina separada o no, diferentes tiempos de comida, dos televisores diferentes en diferentes habitaciones, lo que se acuerde debe ser por escrito aceptado, respetado y nunca discutido o resentido.

Es triste reconocer que después de todo es cuestión de dinero. Cuando se vive como una unidad, es esencial llegar a un acuerdo de cómo van a ser pagadas la cuentas si a media o por una de las partes.

Es mejor preparar un plan por escrito, obtener cuentas bancarias separadas, y dividir las finanzas.

Recuerde que el arreglo es sólo temporal hasta que se solucionen los problemas financiera y se puedan permitir ambas partes iniciar una nueva vida. El respeto mutuo, a cambio de una vida nueva y más feliz es un pequeño precio a pagar. www.webexpressguide.com

Fibromyalgia

By Artropos

We have also identified fibromyalgia of the trapezius muscle with chronic tendencies that does not disappear with massage and physical therapy and that can reach and pinch the nerves thus causing the pain.

The nerve roots that go to the head start from the first cervical vertebrae and enter into the occipital skull base causing symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, migraines, lack of balance and others that may be due to osteoarthritis or arthritis in the first cervical vertebrae which pinch the nerve roots that go to the head or due to inflammation of the tendon of the occipital muscles that move the skull.

The nerve roots that go into the hands also start at the last cervical vertebrae and, when you have osteoarthritis or arthritis within those cervical vertebrae, it is quite a common cause of numbness and tingling in the hands.

38

www.webexpressguide.com

All the above symptoms including fibromyalgia are treated in the most effective, natural and lasting way known as thermopercussion this is because the CAUSE is treated directly via thermopercussion in the vertebrae and muscles affected or occipital insertions, regenerating the maximum possible tissue damage, reducing the inflammation that would have occurred which in turn cause the pinching of these nerve roots.

As a consequence the symptoms will be alleviated and even cured, depending on the condition of individual patients, in the most natural and durable way possible.

ARE YOU IN PAIN?

Do you suffer from Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Sciatica, Whiplash, Fibromyalgia, Sports Injuries, Lumbar pain and other similar pains?

Holiday Lettings?

Registration required.

The new legislation requires the owner to register his property and to guarantee some minimum requirements for the comfort of tenants. BY Aiming at reducing fraud and to bring to light more that 80,000 clandestine holiday rentals just only in Andalusia, the regional government in this part of Spain, the Junta de Andalucia, has passed a new law for in respect of houses used to accommodate tourists. The highlights are as follows: Who is Obliged: Owners of houses, apartments on urban ground that are rented for holiday periods via websites, travel agency, adverts, etc… The rental is considered to be a holiday letting if guests stay for less than 2 months.

Registration: As from May, 11th 2016, owners are required to register their holiday accommodation in the Census of Tourism of Andalusia. Once the registration is completed, the property is assigned a license number that must be shown in every advert and promotional activity.

Putting up a “for rent” sign or advertise in news papers without this number will become a risky situation since unregistered apartments will be considered clandestine.

Requisites: The law also imposes some requisites that are necessary to obtain the license: • 48

First-occupancy license. This is a

www.webexpressguide.com

•

• • • • • •

certificate given to every building for housing that shows that it is appropriate for lodging.

Correct ventilation. The apartment must have A/C available in the living room and every bedroom from May to September, and enough heat for winter months. Every room must have windows or a system to ensure ventilation.

A minimum of equipment: furniture, bedclothes…

Cleaning services before arrival and after departure of visitors.

Medical kit Official complaints book, Tourist information: map of the area, places of interest, medical centre, restaurants…

Telephone number available for emergencies during the rental.

Failing to meet with these requirements can lead to an official complaint by the guest, which in turns it can trigger a fine.

After registration, an allowance of 1 year will be given to those who need to undergo major reforms to comply with some requisites as for instance installing A/C or ensuring ventilation.

Contract: The visitor must sign a contract containing personal details, period of rental, price, etc…

Number of people: The legal maximum is 4 people per room, not exceeding 15 guests per property.

Registry of travellers: Similarly to hotels, owners have to report the name and other details of travellers, including a photocopy of every traveller’s passport. These should be kept for 1 year, passport and copy of

contract, at the disposal of any authority that may request it. The law states that this is mainly done for public security reasons in view of the relevance that the supervision of travellers has in current global society.

Penalties: Junta de Andalucia is determined to enforce this law. At the moment they are negotiating with the major renting websites to ensure that they only advertise houses included in the census. The penalties are up to 18,000€ for serious infringements and up to 150,000€ for very serious ones. Inspectors will be checking adverts very soon.

¿Qué hacemos

con los

niños?

Divertir a los mas pequeños de forma sana

52

La oferta de ocio infantil se ha multiplicado en los últimos años. Desde los tradicionales parques y plazoletas hasta los deportes más extendidos como el fútbol o el baloncesto, podemos encontrar una gran variedad de actividades dirigidas al público infantil.

Antes eran unos pocos los lugares donde podíamos encontrar clases específicas para niños, danza, teatro, inglés… pero hoy en día encontramos sin esfuerzo lugares pensados para trabajar con los más pequeños. ¿Qué ha cambiado?

Del mismo modo se han desarrollado un sinfín de videojuegos y aplicaciones que pueden mantenerlos horas sin levantarse del sofá. Ya no parece que necesiten salir de casa para vivir aventuras. Tanto es así, que los padres tienen que preocuparse de que sus hijos se relacionen y realicen actividades fuera del entorno familiar, cuanto mayor es el tamaño de la ciudad, más esfuerzo supone que los hijos e hijas encuentren un espacio seguro donde desarrollar vínculos con otros chicos y ampliar sus horizontes.

Ha cambiado todo. La oferta de entretenimiento audiovisual es casi infinita, cada año aparecen cientos de películas, vídeos y series de televisión, tantas que los niños podrían pasarse todas sus horas de ocio frente a la pantalla sin repetir siquiera un capítulo.

Las asociaciones deportivas son para esto un recurso excelente, la mayor parte de ellas cuentan con programas a partir de 3 años, en los que adaptan ese deporte para hacerlo menos competitivo y más lúdico. Clubs de patinaje, equitación, artes marciales…

www.webexpressguide.com

cualquier disciplina puede suponer una forma genial de aprender a trabajar en equipo y ejercitarse.

sentir la gravedad cero, hacer cráteres en una Luna de masa de pan o mover un satélite con un par de imanes?

Bares con piscinas de bolas y otras atracciones, los lugares más elegidos para las celebraciones infantiles, son un recurso bastante extendido y cómodo, puedes charlar tomando un café mientras ellos están dándose un chapuzón de bolas o explorando el ignoto contenido de los tubos.

Esta nueva filosofía educativa, que mezcla el juego y la fantasía con las tradicionales “extraescolares” se encuentra ahora mismo en pleno desarrollo y las posibilidades son infinitas. El rotundo éxito de libros como “Pequeños detectives de monstruos” de Patricia de Blas y Álvaro Corcin ha mostrado que los juegos dirigidos pueden ser una experiencia enriquecedora y estimulante. Ni siquiera los más pequeños pueden resistirse a descubrir quién es el malvado monstruo que está haciendo desaparecer las parejas de los calcetines ni a unirse a un grupo de intrépidos investigadores de cinco años.

Dentro de estas opciones los centros de ocio infantil se están abriendo paso, poco a poco, entre las opciones lúdicas y las académicas.

Generalmente ofrecen un servicio de ludoteca, donde la actividad está enfocada al ocio y una serie de talleres en los que adaptan los contenidos a las edades y los intereses a través de juegos y actividades.

Quizá la razón por la que cada vez más padres se interesen en este tipo de servicios sea, más allá de los contenidos, la forma de enfocar el ocio. Los niños y las niñas necesitan jugar, fantasear, emocionarse y desarrollar relaciones afectivas con sus iguales. La astronomía es maravillosa: el movimiento de los astros, la posición de las estrellas, el movimiento de los satélites… sin embargo también puede ser mortalmente aburrido. ¿Qué mejor que meternos todos en un cohete de papel maché,

Aunque existen centros específicos para niños y niñas con necesidades específicas, no es menos cierto que las ludotecas y centros de ocio ofrecen también una excelente oportunidad de contacto y de aprender a valorar y disfrutar la diversidad.

Al final, elijamos lo que elijamos para nuestros pequeños, independientemente del tiempo que tengamos, de si podemos o no leerle un cuento o si el trabajo nos deja salir a dar un paseo, ellos y ellas no van a querer dejar de aprender y divertirse.

Whats news

“Spain is different” even for funerals

Knowledge is power. Be empowered by asking the difficult questions to the right people i.e.

The Trusted Expert. (by Francisco Camero) Why? Because there are too many (incorrect) versions of what are the rules in Spain.

Horror stories abound, this needs not be your experience.

Our company prides itself in giving the best advice and has done so since its founding.

How soon must a funeral take place? Can the coffin be opened? Is the wake obligatory?

Can I choose my own minister/priest? What documents will I receive? How much will it cost? Must the documents be signed by a direct relative?

54

These are just a few, brief ssample questions.

But the main question is: Are the answers reliable?

GUAVA ГУАВАЙЯ

Guavas are originated from Central America and northern South America, a tropical fruit with rich nutrition, often called a "super fruit."

Although Guavas actually thrive in both humid and dry climates and can tolerate brief periods of cold spells they are not often found in the shops in Andalucia.

They are round or oval with a pronounced and typical fragrance, similar to lemon. They can be peeled and eaten as an apple and are very pleasant but can also be used in cooking.

Guava has proved to be beneficial to sufferers from diarrhoea but is also an excellent source of dietary fibre, which helps to prevent constipation.

The juice of raw and immature guavas or decoction of guava-leaves brings relief against cough and cold, reducing mucus. Applied to the skin, the astringents contained will tighten and improve the skin texture better than beauty creams.

Родина гуайявы - Центральная Америка и северная часть Южной Америки. Это тропический фрукт богат питательными элементами , часто называют “супер фрукт”. Хотя, гуавайя произростает и во влажном и в сухом климате и может пережить короткие похолодания, но ее не часто встретишь в магазинах Андалусии.

Плоды округлой или овальной формы с ярко выраженным типичным ароматом, похожим на лимон. Их можно очистить и съесть как яблоко, но также можно и готовить. Гуавайя очень полезна для людей, страдающих диареей, но также прекрасно помогает предотвратить запор. Свежевыжатый сок и сырая гуавайя или отвар ее листьев помогает при кашле и простуде. При нанесении на кожу, вяжущие вещества подтянут и улучшат структуру кожи лучше, чем косметические крема.

DEALING

with

DEMENTIA Sonia Fendley, director of STM Nummos Life S.L.

If someone has been diagnosed with the condition during its early stage, do not hesitate to request a second opinion from a neurologist or a geriatrician specialist if the person is aged over 60.

These symptoms do not always mean dementia; they can also be caused by stress, depression, diabetes, vitamin deficiency, infections or many other illnesses. The diagnosis is serious, so you must be sure.

The following guide has been developed by people who have gone through the same situation.

Help to prepare a daily schedule, that will include planned purchases, outings detailing all the steps that are needed in order to carry them out, i.e. what they will need, what bus to take, where to get off etc. Explain as if they are visiting from another country and this was their first time. It is good that the patient be as independent as possible.

1. Once the illness is confirmed, consult with

a day centre. These centres have specialized therapists and professional carers who will help the challenges that are presented to the patients in the most efficient manner possible, through physical activity, cognitive stimulation etc.

2. Identify the clothing and place the name and a contact number where it is visible, in case they get lost and need help.

3. Plan physical activities, such as attending a gym, swimming or other exercise or visiting senior centres to participate in its activities (dances - crafts - sewing, etc.).

4. In addition to taking care of their body, they also have to exercise the brain. Include mental stimulation exercises, for example puzzles or any other brain stimulating exercise.

5. Shoes should be closed to prevent falls.

6. Adapt the home to the needs of the patient. In the bathroom, prevent slipping by installing handrails in the shower and the toilet 8. In more advanced stages, place a few large cushions near the bed in order to prevent injuries in the event of falls.

9. In the final stages a residential care home may offer the best care.

Quick Online Divorce, no fuss, no solicitor.

There is not one single day that goes by without some paper reporting that the divorce rate is going up and placing the blame on all different sorts of reasons.

Over half of all marriages in the United States end in divorce, surprisingly it is only the 10th country on the list of the world’s most divorced nations and one of the states with the lowest divorce rate is New York.

Belgium records the highest rate at 71%, Portugal 68%, Spain 61% and France 55%.

So where does the problem lie? The rate of marriages is on the up too. Is that to blame?

Some blame the need for mothers to work or the need for both parents to work, others put the blame on money worries and the pressures of living, while others still blame society’s lower standards and the ease with which affairs are entered into.

All types of reasons are given, but I think 58

www.webexpressguide.com

the upsurge in divorce rate should be really blamed on eBay. Whereas in the old days a couple had to wait until it was financially viable even just to get engaged, these days all you need is an eBay account with a password and Bob’s your uncle you can have it all.

Assuming that you are lucky enough to find a girl that will only get serious if you are engaged, you know where you stand. Well on her doorstep 24 hours later with your super eBay diamond solitaire ring after shelling out about £26.99p. If you think about it, it is cheaper than the local hooker, probably in most areas.

I am sorry but if I found that my husband sat up all night, bidding for a cheap, almost

flawless diamond set in the cheapest possible setting, I would think he is a mean old b ..d: - “Is this all I am worth to him?” I would be straight on to www.divorcethatpig. com immediately. I made up the address, but yes it’s also true that you can divorce on the internet and if you don´t believe me just look up divorce online in Google.

That’s not all; EBay is also a goldmine for economy wedding dresses being a specialty.

I have been following the bids on a super wedding dress, used only 3 times. There are 30 minutes bidding time left and the tag is only up to $16.35. What a bargain! There’s going to be some lucky lass out there in ½ hour, lucky but cheap.

Whereas in days gone by you looked for the right partner to come along and you waited for true love, lasting love, nowadays this is no longer the case and the old gits that never managed any of the above in their youth

have discovered there is a true love for them from Suzy Tongflower ‘love you long time’ also available on foreignbride.com.

For the grand price of £52.98 he can buy true love plus housekeeper thrown in, which makes me wonder how long it will be before she love him always will find another nice man Mr. Gregory he look after me good.

Do men really believe that ‘love you long time’ Suzy will not be off as soon as she is legal in his country? Still as long as eBay exists he will never be lonely.

But in the event you buy your bride, convince immigration of your true everlasting love, get the ring, win the bidding on the dress and your big day goes to plan, your next step would be planning your family but should this be the cause of a problem in the fertility department, no doubt some ‘wombforrent’ website could assist.

FINES ARE A GREAT SOURCE OF INCOME.

ШТРАФЫ - ОТЛИЧНЫЙ ИСТОЧНИК ДОХОДА

64

Unfortunately under the present harsh system in Spain the cost of being caught breaking a rule can be quite high “for your own protection”.

К сожалению, при нынешней жестокой системе в Испании, стоимость попасться на нарушении правил может обойтись очень дорого

It stands to reason, it is a good earner for the council and/or the police depending on the type of infringement committed.

Разумеется, что это хороший доход для полиции в зависимости от совершенного типа нарушения.

Considering that there are more cars than parking places, parking a car in the wrong place can cost anything from €50 to €200.

Sometime, especially if you are working, this can work out very expensive. Last August I was fined 4 times, that is €800 and putting on your hazard lights is no protection.

Учитывая, что автомобилей больше чем парковочных мест, парковка в неположенном месте может стоить от 50 до 200е. Иногда, особенно если вы находитесь на работе, это может обойтись очень дорого. Прошлым августом меня оштрафовали 4 раза - на общую сумму 800е.

With practically zero tolerance, even just 1 kilometre over the speed limit can cost €400 upwards depending on speed with probable penalty points.

And if you are found with a speed camera detector or other warning device in your car the fine can rise up to €4880.

Даже превышение скорости всего на один километр может стоить от 400е, в зависимости от скорости и возможным получением штрафных очков. Если же ваше превышение скорости зафиксировала камера или любое другое устройство, то штраф может возрасти до 4880е.

Subject to a penalty of €200 per person, everyone in a car must wear a seatbelt.

Sometimes it is possible to avoid the fine with some pleading, but if your Spanish is not up to it, you have been warned.

www.webexpressguide.com

С учетом стоимости штрафа 200е на человека,все в автомобиле должны быть пристегнуты ремнем безопасности. Иногда можно избежать штрафа, попытавшись “договориться”, но если ваши знания испанского недостаточны, то лучше не стоит.
