I sometimes think i have come here 20 years too late. every day there seems to be new laws rules and regulations, prices soaring ( have you ever known a country that lives outside most of the year to have such expensive outdoor furniture?). bloody speed cameras popping up and more to come according to the press, smoking ban coming like the uk, fishing boat captancy licence that could kill off brit businesses. anyone for Bulgaria!? OR, somewhere not in the Eurozone! If it wasn't for the cheap booze i'd be off!

I thought they had cheap booze in Bulgaria!!

But I know what you mean, there are far too many bits of beurocracy to keep jobsworths in jobs out here in Catalunya, and to keep you from running a business of any kind, that they didn't think of first

And every bit of new legislation will make it more difficult for an Ex-Pat to run a business out here!!

Don't just think you have paranoia, they really are out to get you!!
