Love it....The famous "Fallas" fiestas start in a day or so and finish on the 19th of March when all the paper figures go up in smoke.
The "mascleta" displays like that one you feel through your stomach rather than hear.
One pregnant woman this week had to be rushed to hospital after her "waters" broke at the end of the display when it is strongest..

I have seen that address used before in these type of letters.
We have a unit of National police that specialise in these frauds, i am able to pass it to them.

I you would scan all the pages with writing and PM them to me, i will get it to the correct people.

19c in the shade today.....Not too bad...
-
I too would like to add my best wishes to you and your family.
Occasions like this are stressful enough without the hideous complications you have all had to endure.
May it be resolved peacefully from now on.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision_Song_Contest
We have comments like "countries that are not in Europe are in the event" every year....But it is not a requirement....See link of history of the event above.

Eligibility to participate is not determined by geographic inclusion within the continent of Europe. despite the "Euro" in "Eurovision" — nor does it have any relation to the European Union.

Sounds awful. Sorry to hear about your loss...But with something this urgent surely a lawyer should be the first call?
Good luck with what seems a nightmare situation.

Loved the way they cant even get the "based in Spain" bit correct...
Although the letter was posted in the UK, it was probably put together in Madrid. There have been a number of arrests there for lottery scams recently.
Was there anything to indicate it came from Spain? How where you supposed to claim?
If you want to put details up or PM me, i will make sure that the relevant authorities get the information here if there is any connection.

Take care and hopefully see you back on here soon.

Good luck with that Chesters...Be nice if it was worth good money.

Interesting, Captain - thanks for the link.
As a keen amateur astronomer I can see why from the astronomical point of view the equinox may have been considered to be the start of spring. This is when the midday sun crosses the celestial equator. It doesn't so back into the southern hemisphere until the autumn equinox in September.
But this is dividing the year into just two parts, effectively summer and winter. Yet our seasons are divided into four!
We're also not talking about astronomy here but climate (and certainly not the nonsense that astrology is as mentioned in the article!). So as far as I'm concerned it's more nearly correct to call the start of spring 1st March. Note that I said nearly correct, as whatever date is chosen is purely arbitrary, especially as climate change has mucked up the dates.
There's another interesting article in Wikipedia explaining that different countries have different starting days for the seasons. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer.
Edit note: here's more from the Wikipaedia entry for winter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter. For spring: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_(season). For autumn http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autumn.
Cheers Steve.
The seasons are definitily changing in "real terms" if you know what i mean.
The effects on crops can be devastating when a late frost damages blossom for example. In yesterdays paper here was the news that up to 30% of this almond crop will be lost in some areas as the frosts of this week have killed the tiny fruit that formed earlier than they should the first week of January.
A "normal" time should be the first week of Feb.

You had better tell the Greenwich people they have it wrong Steve.
They state that it starts on 20th march at 7.02 AM EDT, and that although people like the MET office say it is March 1st, it is only for convenience sake. Another case of "dumbing down"?

It appears that the MET office are even upsetting Mp´s with their comments now...(See link)

Been out in the garden all day. Nice during the day but still too cold at night. I think it is the 20th of March when spring officially starts.

The Yen is the currency of Japan, not China, China uses the renminbi.

He lives in my village, but travels/works everywhere. He too is bilingual, sent me a picture a few weeks ago of him with Arnold Schwarzenegger (Sp) ...

Find a reputable source that has the Yen as one of the major world reserve currencies.

I,m sure 2 billion yen users would disagree
Disagree all they like...It doesn't change the facts....
-
The pound once bought 1.60€ ....It now buys only around 1.15€...And will drop further. So It has fallen hugely against the Euro.
The major world reserve currencies are the dollar and Euro....Not the Yen or pound.
-
Ah that clears it up ,got one for the euro v the world
???? What is the "world currency"?
Err yes...And the pound has fallen against both...
-
Ah ,is that compared to the euro or the dollar ,after all were not affected when the euro falls
Yes you are....Your imports are cheaper from the Eurozone...As a consequence when the pound falls they are dearer.
