Slowlycatchymonkey Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 @Skippy’s got it all wrong hasn’t he. Retiring to Spain, enjoying the sunshine, playing golf, riding his bike off road and chillin. He’d be having a much better time if he carried on working at a desk, drove backward and forwards buying teabags, pellets, hay, spending his money only his adoring daughter in law and occasionally visiting a decaying corpse in some ruins.

XTreme Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 Just put the clocks forward on the bike and the car after looking at YouTube tutorials. Yes.....we've had the car 5 years and I still need a YouTube tutorial to do it! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 @Slowlycatchymonkey......you may not know why Spain is an hour ahead of Britain! "It was 1940 and World War II was raging. Nazi Germany occupied Norway, Holland, Belgium, then France. Fascist Italy had already joined with Adolf Hitler. The Fuhrer wanted Spain's support next. So on Oct. 23, 1940, Hitler took a train to the Spanish border to woo Spain's Fascist dictator, Francisco Franco. But Spain was in ruins from its own Civil War in the late 1930s, and Franco didn't have much to offer. He stayed neutral, but switched Spain's clocks ahead one hour, to be in line with Nazi Germany. Ever since, even though Spain is geographically in line with Britain, Portugal and Morocco — its clocks are on the same time zone as countries as far east as Poland and Hungary. Now, more than seven decades later, the Spanish government is weighing whether to change them back." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up not long after we arrived here last year when it stayed dark in the morning for what's seemed like forever. Time zones it appears have always been a political not a scientific decision in every country and lots have had their hours changed for one dumb reason or another. Whether Spain stayed neutral would be a hot topic so I'm staying away from that! They've been weighing up whether to change back forever but apparently El Pais says polls show the Spanish people overwhelmingly do not want it to switch back. What that reading led me onto was what Franco actually did which somehow was irrelevant and unreported in the UK. The Pact of Forgetting has a long legacy. I very much hope they can traverse facing such a painful thing without too much pain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignore the knuckledraggers I haven't no and from the looks of that photo I'm not sure I should I have read about Franco's stolen babies. His policy of taking babies and children from their parents (often immediately after being born in hospital and telling the parents they were dead) and placing them with more 'appropriate' families, a policy that carried on well after his death on to the 90's. Horrifying. They've certainly have a lot of shit to unpack, possibly too much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I get my arse off this forum and on the bike down to the supermarket. I've so far managed to delay for over 8 hours. I think that might be a record for me I can see Mr Slowlys face when he arrives tomorrow, everything's shut and theres f'all to eat or drink.
