Hi All, I would be very interested to hear an overview of the general situation currently in Spain, I have a very old uncle living in Almeria who tells me the situation is bad with high unemployment and people starving who have to resort to stealing food from the farms. In Cyprus things are starting to get bad, there are very few tourists this year and many business are folding. The developers are laying off their workers and will soon have to reduces their prices. They have a very strange attitude here, if they don't sell many items they put the prices up so that what they do sell will compensate for their losses.

I would also like to know how the Spanish people regard the English. Here they resent the Brits, they know if we all left and took our money with us they would be in a mess. I don't understand their attitude, we don't cost them anything and we bring a lot of money in, but although there we have met some nice people, by and large they are aggressive and out to rip us off at any and every opportunity. Bars have two prices, one for the Cypriots and one for the Brits. Is it like this in Spain?

Cheers

Milly
