For a few years at least English will still be our official language and should be the only language used for official documents. I would say the same to any English person moving abroad as I would to those who come here. If you want to live in a foreign country you should be able to speak the language.

How right you are big fella.
I have moved from the dizzy heights of Darwen to Spain.
All contracts in Spain are in Spanish and if you dont like it tough!
I have a bank account in Spain with Halifax Bank and all the correspondence is in Spanish and its up to you to translate the terms and conditions of that account.
Not snowing...not raining...quite warm..can have a smoke in the local bar...no council tax....no water rates....Love it
