Do I detect the odour of troll? Or is the OP victim of a practical joke? Very similar smell IIRC

I have to agree, some rare elements there.

Are you sure your Mexican friend is Greek?

If he said he came from Episcopi it could be Huish Episcopi and his Somerset accent mislead you.

I dunno. He dosnt look much like the only other greek I know - the one married to the queen.

I think my swimbo has been conned. i have said for months that his window cleaning is bad. sometimes he calls for the money even before he has done them - and she gives it too him!!!!

He cant even speak mexican - let alone spannish.

He isn't called Wella Rygg by any chance?

Yup, €7000 for speeding in Palma harbour, I believe, and he had to pay up or have his boat impounded. He was sufficiently incensed to leave Majorca altogether after that and I don't blame him especially as Spanish flagged boats speed in and out of the harbour with impunity. The Spanish are really shooting themselves in the foot by persecuting foreign flagged vessels in this way, not to mention matriculation tax and the forthcoming wealth tax. I left because of the matriculation tax myself. There won't be any foreign boats left in Spain soon and the Spanish will be the losers because their marine industry will be wrecked

I was about to say the same as you Mike. The corollary of which can be found by a quick visit to Marina Smir, Morocco to look at all the Spanish boats and English ex-pat boats that have arrived there. It used to be a very quiet (dull even) marina. But not now!

swmbo spoke to our windowcleaner today. He is from Mexico. He said:

'Palo de la multa por el culo'

Dunno what it means in mexican.

Stick your fine up your ass - or words to that effect.

Really! A bit strong, even for a greek.

Anyway I spoke to my neighbor last night he said you should not pay teh fine as we are not in the eu and he works for the council. smae for greece who are not in the euro either.

I think this cop is just rying to line his pockets.
