In fact I cant get over how cheap the community/council charge thingy is here - 8 euros a month!!!! and we get a bin collection every other day!
I like the "YOUNG" Jo - I doubt whether theres much difference in our ages LOL!!

Well i must admit when i was over last week i found myself thinking things wasnt much difference to the UK on a lot of things , but it was only when i calculated the Euro thats where the prob was ..
yep i agree the Rates are good value for money ours is emptied every night at about 1.00am . regular as clockwork. and the roads get swept and even one day this young kid was walking along blowing the paths down in readiness for the sweeper
And i have street lights on every night , we have 8 down the road here in UK but they only light 3 at a time
and here i pay £ 2000 a year
in Mallorca £ 300
Well i am 50 and everyone is young to me
I started work at 17 had me first business at 19 so i grew up quicker than most
And now capturing my youth i guess
I Look 40 ish but feel 80 and act 21
