I'm urgently seeking a man with a Van to take broken furniture to the tip.

I'm only here until Tuesday so am hoping there might be someone who could do this tomorrow.

Please do let me know if you know anyone 

Chrome and black bar stools, automatic adjustable height.  Perfect condition, could deliver La Marina area.

Hello,

Just moved into my property  in the La marina urb.

I need to get rid of a old sofa that needs a journey to the skip .

Thanks Joe

My hubby & I have been unfortunate enough to insure our home and contents with our bank. We paid for the top premium and so, when the non stop heavy downpours came for almost all of April this year and we had rainwater coming in through our ceiling damaging the coving, the wall and our sofa, we put in a claim. Many visits to the bank, emails, visits to the branch in Guardamar  and many telephone calls later, none of which would be dealt with in English despite being told from the bank prior to taking out the insurance that everything would be handled in English. We have now, 2 months later, had a letter telling us they have paid X amount to a contractor for having done repairs. Great, I hear you say, but no repairs have been done, the bank have never talked to us about this and so now we have insured with someone else. We had visits from 3 different people to look at the damage, then they all left and we then heard nothing at all from the bank. The people in Guardamar have telephoned them several times but that has still produced absolutely nothing. The, a couple of days ago, they had the nerve to take money from our account for renewal of tis useless policy for which we paid nearly 500 € for. Needless to say, I have been to the local branch and it has been refunded.

They would not even talk to me from day one as the insurance policy was done in hubby´s name only. So, when I went to Guardamar to the bank to see what, if anything, was going on after 3 days of being given 10 different phone numbers all of which reportedly spoke English but did not. I had to drive back to La Marina and get hubby to talk to them on the phone. I even had to take my mobile to Guardamar so that the person in the bank there could use it to call their Insurance branch. It had to be from the mobile registered to the account they said. My reaction - load of rubbish-The person on the other end of the line even said that they would not send anybody out as it was raining. We would have to wait for the rain to stop and then it would take a few days after that for someone to come to look at the damage. 

The moral of this story is "DO NOT UNSURE WITH YOUR BANK" This experience has been very stressful and we still have no repairs done  nor our sofa put right (this I have now cleaned myself). The wall and ceiling is not so fortunate. I cannot do those.

Think very carefully before insuring with anyone here. They will promise you the world to get your money but if you ever need them they will not deliver.

Before anyone says it, we do speak quite a bit of Spanish but not enough to deal with this type of thing

Hi new to la marina,  anyone recommend a dish installer, or is Internet tv better, regards Paul. 

I am staying with family near La Marina village this summer. I am a freelance computer programmer, and I'm looking for a place where I can work in the mornings (8:30-1pm) from around Tue 2/8 to Thu 25/8, in the village or near El Pinet. I work on a laptop, so I just need a quiet desk (where I can leave a biggish screen, keyboard and mouse), a decent chair and good Wifi. I occasionally have a video call but mostly I'll just sit there quietly typing away. I can pay 140 euros for this.

So if you have an office or home office with a spare desk, please send me a private message with your address. I'm happy to chat in advance.

Thank you,

Paul

Recently, Wizzair pulled out of flying from Doncaster/Sheffield airport to Alicante. Does anyone know if another airline is going to take over this slot?

I've searched loads of websites for information but have drawn a blank. Looking for someone who may have an inside track please!

Thank you

Brian

Has anyone ever used Holiday Car Finders? I have tried to contact them 4 times by email without reply as their prices appear good but we were caught out by a cheaper rental company before. They give their address as C/Londres 1374 but I can’t find them on maps.
