Thanks HJ for above. Am currently in the process of changing cars here in Spain. EurotaxGlass's suggest a dealers' margin of 25-30%, and my experience seems to bear this out. This must be set against a local market where registrations grew 17% last year (it's all the expats - is there anybody left in UK?). Dealers work a strict five and half-day week - 1.00 pm Saturday they're off - and my local dealer was moaning that he never sees his family!

That's why I like working in Europe - much more civilised! When I do jobs here I get people ringing me at home at 10pm.

I?ve been living and working here in Warsaw for a little over a year and it?s a real love hate thing. I miss England so much, the backroomers are the only English speakers I have contact with for days on end. One good thing here though, there?s no real traffic problem, I can drive the 100 miles to my little summer house (shabby hut full of spiders) and arrive within 5 minutes of when I plan to every time.
