Hold on a sec, I can’t hear myself think with this alarm going off, what is that racket (ah that’s the alarm, my bullsh*t alarm). Ok people, are we all sitting comfortably, legs in a basket, then I’ll begin. So there’s this English taxi driver who lays golden eggs and sold the Emperor a n...

...ew coat that only he can see while climbing the beanstalk. One day while driving along the yellow brick road she stopped beside some rocking horse poo, to ask the scarecrow directions to grannies house. You don’t want to go to grannies house said the scarecrow, some illegal aliens have taken it over and refuse to leave, one of them with a big long finger is demanding to phone home. I can sort this said a friendly passer by on his way to Hogwarts. Outside grannies house which was mortgaged amazingly but nearly all paid for after downsizing in Sherwood Forrest, the tall thin stranger took a flute like instrument from his pocket and began to play a tune which was irresistible to squatters and they followed him to Torrevieja where he dumped them in the sea. 
Tune in next week boys and girls for the fairytale about Brexit that worked, a Spanish bank with no charges and a summer with sunshine in Glasgow.

Why so much hated towards someone sharing a story about something we know happens. It's unfortunate that she lost the house but positive behind the negative that we can all learn from, never buy a house outright because if you get squatters then just stop paying the bank. This story proves that t...

...he banks are the only ones who can quickly get of a squatter. 

But can I ask a different question? Was your taxi driver english? Very few of them around.

Yes she was English but has lived in Spain for the last 10 years

Yes I can't quite understand the hate and doubt !!! It's what I, my wife and 2 other passengers witnessesd hearing !

And you know this how, just because a taxi driver told you, surely not?

Surely Yes ..... I know this because the taxi driver was her daughter.

So this would mean that she is an Elche taxi driver. I find it difficult to believe that she has an Elche taxi licence.

Or maybe one of those in a private car going around at the airport offering her services?

Sorry, but find this tale of woe hard to believe.

Cheers, J

I am not disclosing what Taxi company she works for, I am declaring what we were told, I see no reason why she would want to make this up, you have the right to believe it or not. It is what it is !

Thanks for sharing this, Lee. Squatters with children do have rights to remain in the premises, and it is very hard to evict them, even though they steal the electric and water. It is a shame that the responses to your post are so negative and disbelieving. Our community administrator has said previously that this is an increasing problem in many communities, so it is wise to be vigilant. Let’s hope it never happens to any doubting Thomas!

Thank You Sheila - I agree we do need to be vigilant, there have been 2 squattings on our urbanisation :( - it took the Lady 6 years to have them evicted, whilst paying for all their utility bills and community fees and they left it in a terrible mess that she also had to pay for :(
