I live close to Fuengirola............you can buy best back bacon in Iceland now cheaper than in the UK, Euromarket has some of the best tasting streaky bacon and back bacon also cheaper than the UK, we can also now buy cheddar cheese and other varieties cheaper than the UK, why do you think folks are still moving here despite all the BS that has been on the TV news this morning, DON'T BELIEVE ALL YOU READ OR HEAR IN THE PRESS AND ON TV, they are getting like the politions in the Uk can't tell the truth to save their necks let alone the country.............here my rant ends...................!
