I just want to tell you that 1th February is the magic date. I retire after 40 years of working.
More time to spend in Los Cristianos.

That's the best thing I did and buying a property over here,no more cold winters and being ripped of by UK prices.

Hi.
I've been working more than 40 years and over 30 as a journalist. I feel i have right to retire now and use mye free time to more "funny thing" than fight for the best stories. Like sitting in a pub in Los Cristianos have a pint og beer and watch Engelish football.

Congratulations....if you are like me you will love retirement. Like you I worked full time for over 40 years in a very pressured job and colleagues thougth I'd miss work...how wrong they were.. have to say retirement is not cheap though...you have the time to do all these things you have always wanted too! Enjoy your last few weeks in work...they will fly by.....

Yep that's with tax added but depends where you go most bars along Los Cristianos and Fanabe are doing beer at 1 euro,some places use pint glasses some I reckon are a bit smaller but who cares its cheap beer and as you say tastes far better then what you get in the uk.
