Hiya good morning all.

I believe I am now at the age of needing to think about investing in a private pension scheme and maybe life insurance. I have lived in Spain for 13years so would like recommendations from anyone who has used or is using a reputable company here please. Just want to make sure that if I was to get stuck by lightning or hit by a car that my missus and kids would be ok. Or that I could maybe retire and be able to live comfortably

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about getting the official "Letter of Invitation", obtainable from the police, which has to be sent to visitors from non EU countries allowing them to stay in a hosts private property. Apparently this law came into effect in February but travel agents in the UK don't seem to know anything about it yet, according to what we've heard, if any such guests come from the UK without this official form they can be fined and the host the intend to stay with can also be fined.

Any information about this would be greatly appreciated.

Hiya, just taking a chance on here even though I know it can spark quite a harsh debate but I want to try.

If anyone would like a German Shepherd cross. I have one in need a loving home. His name is Frank, he's 8 years old, very well trained, very loving and absolutely hilarious. He is NOT my dog but I do have legal rights to re-home him from the owner who can unfortunately no longer care for him. I do work with the local animal charity but they are full at the minute and I don't really want him going to a shelter. He's a very easy to handle dog so he's good for everyone

There was a third big story but I forgot what it was

Hiya I would just like to share something that came to mind.

Let me start off by saying I am a legal resident but I realised something the other day during a conversation. 

A few people on here have often asked about the 90 day rule and how it works whilst travelling to other European countries. Since Brexit I have actually driven through 4 countries Portugal, Spain, Italy and Switzerland. I have never even once needed a passport and I haven't even been stopped. In fact going into Portugal there wasn't even a border crossing just a big sign welcome saying welcome to Portugal. 

So basically if someone wanted to travel for a few months, they could actually fly to somewhere in Europe, then drive through each country without any consequences (in theory) and fly back to the UK from another country?

I'm not the only one who has experienced this, when I talking about it to my friend we actually thought it was more funny that we could travel Europe and yet going back to the UK is when we need a passport 🤦🤦🤦🤦
