As I said Sabine, I didn't post my comment in order to get into an argument and I'm sorry you object to my post.  I still stand by my comment that I don't llike messageboards to be used to denounce people, how many English removal guys do you think operate out of Miami Playa?  I am not connected with the firm you used in any way, apart from having used them for our move and without complaint.

"All in all nobody has highlighted the severe failings in the service of said firm" I really am sorry that you had a bad experience and don't doubt that your experience was upsetting, but if they 'came recommended' then presumably someone that you trust also used them without any problems and perhaps the 'severe failings' you tallk about are not the norm?

Anyway, I'm glad you're happily settled back in England, we are certainly very happy with our life in Montsia.

PG :)
