[quote author=Nobrot link=1253862465/0#8 date=1254041446] P.S. Just a thought....are there enough of us out there to start our own cooperative ???? anyone interested??

It's an attractive thought on the surface but whether it would fly or not is another matter.  "are there enough of us out there ?".  I don't know if Nigel has a handle on how many of the members live close enough to Tortosa (in any direction) to make it viable and how many of those live on campo and produce crops (olive, citrus, carob etc.)
into the mix.  

Helloo get real do you think you could start any british run anything in Catalunya, it would take 3 years for the paperwork to go through, you would have to jump through Hoops and hurdles at every turn, and they would find a different reason every month that you must comply with to obtain your license, non of which the locals would have to adhere to
