Missing Cat    

One of our young male cats has been missing since Monday night.

Last seen Montesol area of Torrox Park.  He is micro chipped, 13 months old and is called Muffin.

Picture attached of him with his almost identical brother (who keeps looking for him), but Muffin is identifiable by ginger marking on his left front leg.

Any information as to his whereabouts would be greatly appreciated

Many thanks in advance.

Please phone/WhatsApp Jacqui and Graham on 691640397 or landline 952532447 with any information (good or bad).

 

 

UK Postal Voting forms

Recently in Digame, Keith (still travellin’ int’ rain) suggested that UK Postal Voting forms could be requested to be sent out by e-mail in order to receive them in Spain “almost instantly”, leaving sufficient time for them to be posted back to the UK.

I have checked with my local Electoral Registration Office in the UK and they state that this is not possible by law?

Could Keith please clarify where he obtained the information that this was indeed possible, as it sounds like the perfect solution to getting postal votes back to the UK in time, and would help many of us overcome this problem.

Thank you to all the kind Digamites who either texted me or phoned me.

I had a great response.

How to lodge a complaint concerning a town hall

Are town halls above the law? Arenas town hall is refusing to issue a paper demanded by catastro despite all the hoops being jumped through and payments made. My friend cannot sell his house without this paper. His house is legal but catastro changed the border which meant he is now in Arenas and not Algarrobo. He has paid out a fortune on lawyers and papers to correct something that was no fault of his.
It has taken nearly 3 years and now all is completed bar this one piece of paper. Arenas gives no reason as to why they won’t issue it apart from ” we will not co operate.”
The lawyer just shrugs and says that’s that and he doesn’t know why but seems reluctant to do anything about it.
I speak fairly fluent Spanish and will confront Arenas bureaucrats.
It would help if I knew his rights and how best to tackle a very stubborn, obdurate and unreasonable town hall.

Do they have to have a complaints book as most businesses must have by law?
Thanks for any suggestions anyone can make.
Replies to Digame as I’m sure others have problems with town halls.

 

 

New Internet Classical Music Service Warning !

Being a sometime classical musician I was very interested in this post and immediately clicked on the link given. Beware! It is full of malware and immediately took me to porn websites. I closed and re-tried, but it still took me to (different) porn sites. I should know not to click on links, I suppose, but thought Digame would be ‘clean’. I tried simply typing ‘www.classicalmusic.com‘ into the address bar but met with the same result yet again.
All is not what it seems, on the internet in general and not even on Digame in particular! I wonder how many people have already fallen foul of this?
If you did open this link, I suggest you empty your cookies and clear browsing history immediately.

Spanish driving licence – rule change
I suggest that Tom and Judith have a look at the N332 web page.

This is written in English by Guardia Civil Police and is very useful.
There are many useful pages but this one is the starter for Driving Licences. Government pages are of course in Spanish but these guys write useful notes in English.

Recommendation     

We would like to give a bouquet to Cathy and Alan of cj.spain@yahoo.com.
We have today taken delivery of a fire from the U.K. From the initial enquiry to delivery to our door the service was second to none. Everything was handled in the smoothest most efficient and friendly manner.
If you need anything taking to or bringing from the U.K., get in touch – you will not be disappointed.
Thank you both for a superb service .
