if you just had the pool built the builders should have gotten planning permit so I think it will be on their anyway. There is an official site where you can check this, I will see if I can find the link again. If you are not selling do you need to update anyway?

Thread: New to the site but need some advice.

This is an actual reply from Mr. cox himself

"........The argument was over a vegetable paella which the waiter recommended and I ordered without reference to the menu. The others had a fish dinner for 3. When the bill came, there was a charge for 2 paellas. This is because (as I now know) paella is generally served as two portions minimum (though I ordered a paella in Cordoba which was for one). If the waiter had explained that politely, we would no doubt have been a bit disappointed and paid. But he didn’t – instead he got very angry very quickly. An argument ensued, and when we put 105 euros on the table, the waiter refused them and didn’t hesitate to bring out the rest of the staff who hung about looking menacing to stop us leaving. After 15 minutes or so arguing, the waiter called the police. When they arrived, they were as bad as the waiter – aggressively told us to pay and started demanding ID. We were in a difficult place – to give in or stand our ground. We choose the later"............

As for the principle of innocent till proven otherwise, of course I believe it applies equally to all involved. The question of "looking innocent" I did in fact question the logic of forming an opinion on how someone looks.

The englishpersons integrity, you are not the only person to live and work in other countires I have done the same myself. I still say that it is badly damaged and often for good reason. Why do i have to have to name another nationality I think may be better or worse? were is the logic in saying we are good because they are worse? What clue do you see in my name, are you making some sort of judgement based on an jokey online pen name? interesting...

lastly I do not question that some of  the incidents took place,I do question why and , from most of the articles I have seen, why the content is so onesided

there are two sides to the story  but the media reports mostly seem to only publish Mr. Cox´s version. He did order the dish by his own admission and then it seems did not want to pay the price on the menu. I am horrified that this story has gone global, mostly on sites and in papers that take the"victims" word  as the absolute truth. I have seen reports that in fact the party concerned had had a lot to drink, who can say, not me and not the media who have run with this story thats for sure. On one site I saw someone had commented that Mr. Cox looked like an honest man, so did Harold Shipman, looks prove nothing and I fear that an Englishmans word is no longer his bond. My old Dad always used to say the only thing you can believe in the paper is the date and sometimes they even get that wrong.
