THE HUMAN FRUIT MACHINE
NEXT APPEARANCE OF THE HUMAN FRUIT MACHINE IS SATURDAY, 25th JUNE at Palms Equestrian Centre in Catral. There was all the fun of the fair with The Human Fruit Machine on its last outing!!! With over 1000 people over two days at Casa la Pedrera the Human Fruit Machine created a lot of fun. It was a slow start until Paul Cunningham Nurses realised they knew how it worked BUT no one else did!! Many people thought you either got fruit thrown at you or you had to pelt the three people with fruit. Well as you can see our very own Ian Rockford from TKO Radio has already been 'in the box' and all you have to do is hold up a piece of fruit when the contestant sounds the hooter!
Each contestant has three goes for €1 and just like a fruit machine certain fruit win certain prizes! and sometimes money vouchers!
The Human Fruit Machine was made by Derek Rogers from The Patience Lodge 2177 and it is kindly loaned out to raise funds for Paul Cunningham Nurses and it's next appearance will be on June 25th at Palms Equestrian Centre in Catral - for more details see www.paulcunninghamnurses.com or email [email protected] or call 629 869 959.
We will be recruiting fruit panel members for Saturday June 25th so if you would like to join in the fun for a half hour in the chair, please email or call the above number.

A GUIDE TO SPANISH INHERITANCE TAX
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
You may be aware of this already, but it’s something many people who own property in Spain don’t know.
It’s about the taxes payable when an owner of property in Spain passes away.
If you have ever wondered about the details of inheritance tax, it’s simply this:
Your hard earned legacy may have to be sold off to pay crippling tax bills when you pass away?
Spanish Inheritance tax, death duties , legal fees - up to 40% .
So, right now, can you be absolutely sure that those you leave behind will have the money to cover those costs?
Of course we would all prefer our children and grandchildren to enjoy the property we’ve worked so hard to own, and not be forced to sell it to cover onerous tax demands.
Equally as worrying, did you know that in the UK system of IHT, a husband or wife is usually an exempt beneficiary?
But in the Spanish system...
Your husband or wife will not be exempt from Spanish Inheritance Tax.
It's a sobering thought, isn't it?
For a Fuller explanation

MOVING TO SPAIN
I have been reading a lot of the things that people have been writing on these websites over the last few months and it has made me think twice as to coming to Spain to live, as it does not seem to be that much better than life in the U.K just thought I would ask a direct question to all on this forum.
My question is "if you had your time again and knowing what you know now would you move to Spain?"
I have only been here for a few months so I am sure I do not have much advise I can give, only to say that its hard to start with but everyone is so helpful all the expats seem to stick together and are there to help, After 6 months Spain is already our home.
I guess for us who have been here five years, and more, the adventure has taken some twists and turns, but the positive side is that when we arrived there were a lot of dead beats and so called professionals who had reinvented themselves and made a lot of money from the then innocent Brits. I only wish we had sites like this one up and running so that we would not have been ripped off by these vagabonds who have now milked the honey pot dry and moved on.
In answer to your question, If I could turn back the clock to that Sunday in February 2007 when I first arrived to start my new life here in Spain. I might do things differently, but I have no regrets moving here. I have seen many changes but the best part is that now the people who have stayed here and made it their home despite the hard times, are the true lovers of the spirit that is Spain.
Thank you for your posting, it will be interesting to see the points of view of others .
