John at least we both know a Solicitor that could possibly negotiate his freedom if the worst has happened!

Specialised in Maritime Law if I remember correctly.
I only met him about four or five times, got to say he was always very generous and I had to argue with him to let me pay for anything.
Happy memories.

I agree. He did a load of translations for me as he could speak many languages and refused to take payment from me. A character for sure.

I see Spain has put back the possible return date for us Brits until 9th May at the earliest.

Just seen reports that the 17th May is on for travel to Spain with vaccinations , some sort of pass coming out before then . Spain is also getting ready and making very positive noises about letting brits in from then as well

Just as well Spain needs our cash And more importantly we need to organise a search party for Wilson who I now suspect underestimated the time it would take him to swim the length of France , Portugal and round the Med to Alicante

[Derek]

Strange as Ryanair have cancelled their May flights to Alicante from Bristol.  I think other airlines have also cancelled flights from other airports to Alicante.

I expect Wilson is sitting on the beach oblivious to the fact his return trip is likely to involve a rather long walk.

Ryanair just moved my Birmingham - Alicante flight from 19 -21st May. The flight is now sold out, as is the following Friday.

WIFI is available on the beaches now Derek......so no excuses for our long lost ‘freind’ to not make contact!!! Some do the talk......but not too good at doing the walk....me thinks!!!!

So are we having a sweepstake on Wilson’s next appearance here ? It’s getting on towards a week now 🤷🏼‍♂️

Incidentally, the wife arrived back yesterday with all her correct residency and testing information and was through Alicante airport within half an hour, happy days 👍🏻

Sorry folks but the BOE (Spanish bulletin) announced yesterday that the date at which third country travellers can enter Spain is now extended to 6pm 30th May, so effectively no admittance till 31 May for UK travellers unless they fulfil the continuing strict excemptions, which haven't changed

[chris and jackie]

It's looking doubtful that Spain will make green list for no quarantine on return to UK due to high infection rates, poor vaccinations roll out etc so it won't matter.
Spains tourism industry will probably never recover fully if they don't open fully by June .

[sunseekers]

I do think the UK side of the rule making will be what determines how many people can actually come to Spain this summer.  If you have to test before you come and then have two tests, one before you fly back in and another after so many days and have to quarantine, all per person, its going to make it impossible for most, cost wise for all and in particular the quarantine part for people who work returning.

I do think your right Sunseekers and because the fat controller doesn't want us to travel he will make it as difficult as possible. Still a lot of post Brexit politicking going on.

Careful Dave,

I dared to suggest this would happen at the start of the year and was labelled a ‘lefty’ on here ! 😂
