Two travelling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard flooor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied,"Things aren't always what they seem.". The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income , lay dead in the field. The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen?.
The first man had everything,, yet you helped him, he accused. The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die.
"Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied. "When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he couldn't find it."
"Then last night as we slept in the farmer's bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren't always what they seem."
Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don't  turn out the way they should. If you have faith,you just need to trust that every outcome is always to your advantage.You might not know it until sometime later.....I did by meeting Maria through EOS, she is indeed Florence Nightengale,Zorro and the Samaritans all rolled up as one ,and for that I thank her from the bottom of my heart.,I'm sure I speak for all members of  EOS

Hola Maria,
                    Lo siento mucho for leaving out the Spanish government and lawyers and also thank you for your kind offer of help. Now to my story. I would regard myself as in the autumn off my life, having reasonable intelligence, very street-wise and also doing my homework regards buying in Spain.I was not buying to make a quick buck, but more to join in with the spanish way off life and offer my talents to your country. I had started to learn spanish.
Last year  I embarked on an inspection  trip with MRI and fell in love with Terrazas de Almerimar (Proindal), putting a reservation fee of 6000E on an apartment .I was not coerced into this purchase, I wanted this apartment.The signing was carried out by Violette vanherpe of Martinez- Echevarria Abogados, S.L She went through the necessary formalities and informed me that I would not have to sign the purchase contract until she was satisfied with her "DUE DILIGENCE".
Come December I received a summary of the Purchase Contract from her with a deadline to sign.Included in this contract was legal fees  amounting to approx 2800E plus  100Efor searches  at the land registry.
Repeated requests to her  for various confirmations i.e B.G., full contract etc.,were lelt unanswered and in the light of all this I did not sign the contract.
Come January, it turns out to be that Prondial did not own the land on which Terrazas de Almerimar was to be built (madre mia ).
I spent all of 2008 trying to get back my reservation fee which iI finally achieved LESS approx 500E for Violette's fees !!!.
Maria, I was one of the lucky ones, thanks to you and others who write on forums offering advice and kind words, keep up the good work. I cry for the ones who have had their dreams shattered and left penniless by people who are lower than Whales Dung.
The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God..

EOS team ,Don't just monitor,ACT my taking on board what Twin has said and form a petition on behalf of the forum's members, to be presented to the UK government. .I am sure  you will have no problems compiling a factual dossier as it appears that the majority of  forum members  who write  is because they have encountered devastation fom "Spain"

This petition would  also ( whom I agree with entirely) accommodate "Hall Of Shame " remarks ie name and shame..
By the way EOS your defense against libel is that it is true and in the public interest!
