Expat whinge of the year award.

[Expat Steve]

If there's one thing that pee's me off it's the "price of turnips in (frankly, who cares)!" if you don't like the price then grow them yourselves.....lol hahahaha - well, that's it - we are all doomed! Turnips have gone up! (Should I add, "I only came here because of the price of turnips, now whatever shall I do? )

Could always try a Swede instead,...much more tasty,...much more fun.

Lets face it, theres nothing a lot of expats enjoy better than a good old whinge.
They feel so much better for getting it all off their chest.
Theres definitely no shortage of grumpy old men and grumpy old women in Spain....

Aye, you've got a point there...... ... there's me whinging about the whingers ................. does that make me a hypocrite or just a git? ............. I'll go for "git" ...... it's easier to spell

Well, I confess I used to post whinging about the awful quality of potatoes in the Czech Republic but they were truly awful - out of 5kg you were lucky to get 2kg edible, the rest were black and wormy (uh uh, here I go again...)
My favourite whingers are people who complain that Britain is so full of foreigners that they had to come and live abroad.

There's a better class of foreigner abroad though.

Especially those without dusky skins, which is what those kind of people really mean

Lets not get racist - TBH, the better class of foreigner in Spain has nothing to do with skin colour and the immigrants in the UK arent necessarily any worse than some of the nasty little toerags who have lived there forever

Back to the topic tho and I think that the British in general hold the world record for whinging and moaning - they should make it an oplympic sport, we'd win gold everytime! We really are head and shoulders above most other nationalities!

Err....I think you misunderstood me, Jo...I was being sarcastic. I have encountered people here who have left the UK because they are basically racist - they don't like a certain kind of foreigner -you know what I mean. Not that many, thankfully.Those are the kind of people I despise.
And you are of course right - skin colour is not an indicator of character any more than money implies good manners. But not everyone sees it in that way, unforunately.
BTW, we came up to view the two Alheurins on Tuesday, didn't call on you as there were five of us plus Our Little Azor. We feel we need to take a longer, closer look - we just drove through, really - so we would appreciate your insider knowledge.
