Of Spain, he says, so far the Brits he's met out here all seem to be trying to rip each other off and he doesnt understand the language or the mentality of the Spanish and feels out of his depth. Also he's concerned about the economy in Spain
As you can tell we've had "words" on the phone this morning and he's seriously considering trying to convince me to go back to the UK!

I see ..
Well dont let him talk you out of it , yep familiarility is a hard thing to get over but that comes with time , just keep pointing out the pluses jojo and wear him down got to give it at least a year then i am sure it will click and grow on him specially when he sees the Uk slide more ..
Maybe your in the wrong area ? Mallorca i found just so much more safer and chilled , to me anyways . maybe he needs to find a different area ?
But more to the point are you happy in the area ? If yes then work on him if no then look around . for me Mallorca just is perfect feels more homely than my Uk home.. love the people low crime no riff raff a little up market to suit me
You havent brought yet i understand so consider options on where to live but dont go back to the sinking ship trust me its gonna sink deeper
