Gone in 30 minuets, car taken by police

Welcome back Micky.

Oil Drum Lane is only my 2^nd home (Holiday Home) and I only have a horse and cart there, I leave Dobin a bale of hay every year, but it is now 18 inch deep in Dobin.

I have lived permanently in Spain for 14 years, but that is now becoming 18 inch deep in panda.

It seems ridiculous but that about sums it up. Andalusia is a weird place.

Panda..why are you blaming every one except yourself..you said you have fully integrated into Spanish Life ..if this is so why not go on to a Spanish speaking forum and ask them for advice .. instead of asking us obnoxious Brits as you put it ..that are on this forum for advice...but befor you do you should change the name of your post to.        ( gone after two years.).

Windy. I don't think you understand irony.

Micky ..I understand arrogance.

Now that is clear.

I'm not sure how anyone can whinge about the UK OA pension. Except perhaps that it is called a pension.

It never was supposed to be a living wage so it cannot be compared to other European pensions.

In fact we 'pensioners' have been very well served over the past eleven years with the triple lock which I fear will soon have to stop or be modified.

Now you and your employer are forced to pay towards an occupational pension if you are of working age.

But people of our age need to ask why they made no provision for thier old age when they were working. Not blame the UK government because they are hard up.

Especially if they have not been living in the UK.

I don't think being facetious is helping anyone apart from your own sense of righteousness. Sarcasm  is never funny, especially at the expense of those less fortunate.

You are  however correct in a couple of things; The tow truck did take a car under instructions from the police without due warning or notice, (illegal)  they did not give an explanation, They do not have to notify the last owner of the seizure, you have to phone and ask if they have it or has it been stolen.

Any damage done during this cannot be claimed for as no one will accept responsibility, who would?

So enough all ready from someone who obliviously has no idea about living here. I will not be relying to this thread again.

Your story is so amazing that it should be serialised on NETFLIX, but it would have to be in the fiction section.
