The clue is in the title. Calle Sorolla

I’m still getting to know the area having just moved over and not being familiar with C/ meaning Calle I would’ve missed the road name too. A simple answer would’ve sufficed. I don’t know why I’m still surprised by some people’s sarcastic comments

We brought a large picture there, as there were no screws to hang it, the same chap as you mentioned fixed some on the picture and gave us the packet free of charge. Yes much better service than the usual surly service.

Agree the girl on the till is most pleasant and speaks good English


I took an item back to the big one near Mercadona and the old boot on the till moaned at me for 5 minutes about something even though I had the receipt and it was in date

Never going back there

If you're talking about the one up from Quesada mini golf, then I agree. They are the miserablest bunch I've encountered in Spain!

I often see the phrase ‘ google it’ on the forum and although I do agree that having a virtual assistant at your fingertips is very helpful for some , you can’t beat good old fashioned, friendly advice. If you are getting a little weary of the same questions being fielded or despair at some people’s lack of the obvious, then please don’t post an inconsequential or dismissive comment. Don’t post anything, there are plenty of friendly , patient ‘real’people on the forum, more than willing to helpfully support each other.

Problem is some people post answers that they believe to be true but are, in fact, based on hearsay. Google will more than likely produce an accurate reply.

The other thing is that some questions are from people that are just lazy.

People are not necessarily being lazy when they ask questions, they want to interact on the forum rather than googling all the time, just like chatting face to face. You wouldn't say to someone 'google it' if they asked you face to face while socialising, unless you didn't know the answer.
We have so many patient helpful members on our forums and most people know that and are not afraid of asking any questions.
Where would any forum be if everyone answered "Google it"?
Google is helpful but it isn't personal. A question on a forum can initiate friendly interaction and usually more than a static answer.

Good post Jan
