About the comment of being alone here in Spain....i was alone in Iceland, my grown kids moved abroad , couldnt afford to move near them, so best to be alone in a place where it is warmer and making new friends

Hi Stuart 👋 there are plenty of b&bs in England. They are not as cheap as they used to be. So sad for the woman who rescued the abandoned dog. She took a very big risk, not knowing the history of the animal. A dog that attacks in this way would have been taken away and put down in the UK. Thank you for your interesting update 👍 😊

[@resurgem]

Yes Stu traditional B&B still exists, we stayed in two very nice ones in the lake district last October.

About the shortage and availability of charging points for electric cars, the blame and responsibility should be on the manufacturers of these cars. Tesla cars offer their car owners maps and charging points as well as trip planning. The electric car manufacturers should invest in these charging point and not abandon their customers after they purchase their products. Car manufacturers, I say: "Own up to your products and invest in charging points."

How many petrol stations did Ford ever build?

[@pwe169]

I have a Tesla and have travelled all over Europe and from Barcelona to Valencia. Tesla invested in its own Network of chargers so it would not block sales and upset customers. It worked and we have never had a problem

[@CL-man]

@@ronhonywill9755 In the early days of cars, there weren't many cars on the roads and the road conditions where not that comfortable. Nowadays, people cannot get around without cars and the petrol stations were built to block the electric car from appearing in the market. We need to go with the times. Manufacturers of products have to think about the support and lifecycle of their products. Electric car manufacturers have to think about how to dispose of their batteries when they are dead.

80% of the buyers are taxi drivers with electric cars 🤣

[@alunjprice]

There is no wine on sale in the UK for €2.60, even the very worst plonk costs a fair amount more than that.

[@evelynhay5693]

Great still listening to you Stuart still love the Spanish wine semi Dulce keep safe 🤗

[@maurasloyan2510]

Hi Stuart. The name Grainne (Irish) is pronounced Grawnyah

Is snow here in Scotland

Re charging points, and green energy generally + Government in Spain. This Irishman relocated to a mountain region in Catalonia in 2005. I spent 2 years researching and building a business plan for an Alternative Energy 'wood pellet factory' in the region which, (in addition), would provide constant hot water plumbed to all of the village at a ridiculously low cost. (Hot water is a by-product of pellet production.) The Spanish gov supported my 5million euro project but most of the finance came from me and private investors. I didn't need gov money ... Just their help with their bureaucracy to streamline production. Then 2008 came, financial crises! I had the money, the conviction & the local support. They pulled all the plugs! Left my project hi & dry! No changes in the antiquated legalities. I suffered, my investors suffered, and all the village suffered because of Government's cold feet. "The big ship sailed on the Alley Alley Oh". Their loss Stu. Politicians need to look more long term .... Not short term, for votes. Don't expect any promises from Spanish Gov. I finish my rant.

Hola Stu! I would love a video of your wine opinions!

[@TravelonlineWalk]

[@classiccars7112]

Thanks

I missed the live today. I like the back drop with food. There's joy where there's hair or food. 60 roads affected by snow, mostly in the middle of nowhere. It'd be a joke for a Canadian

[@mancityfan45]

The informality of my local bank (la caxia) with causal wear, they also give and greet with dos besos (2 kisses) to customer's they are familiar with is unreal.

[@grainnefoley9783]

Thank you for your beautiful interesting pronunciation of my name..Bolbo and Volvo are easy Peasy! It’s the same way that most people here in Spain pronounce Gráinne…the fada over the ‘a’ making it long.. in anyones non Irish World it is actually pronounced like ‘Grawyne’, which is Irish for Grace…..now you speak Irish.😀😊 thank you for your attempt and you really need to come to Catalunya to be introduced to a beautiful area with spectacular views, restaurants and food and wine. I enjoy your show..keep it up and when l learn how to do it l will buy you a lunch and post one of our beautiful views of an area which ought not be missed.

Hi, from an Irishman in Malaga.

[@grainnefoley9783]

Hi Lesley…. Come north… it’s much cooler!

[@grainnefoley9783]

Sorry, Leslie, it’s not a usual name in Ireland is it?

[@coffermartin77]

Why the hell are pitbulls allowed in Spain? They should be banned like they are in other countries.

[@classiccars7112]

Nice video. I enjoy the Spanish words and listening how the Spanish pronounce them. Great job!

[@mickrileybcn]

Not a fan of Mercadona. Better value in Aldi and liddl.

[@mickrileybcn]

Shops are definitely price gouging. They all say the same though. blah blah blah.

[@adrian3427]

My wife loves the The Guvnor from Mercadona after recommendation from a neighbour who are wine lovers as is she

[@resurgem]

[@oliverkitkat6860]

[@jamesappleton7390]

Good business move by Consum, where would you go while your EV is charging up?...... Consum......

[@oliverkitkat6860]

[@jamesmusgrave3019]

Yes, the responsibility for a dog attack is the dog owners but the damage is done by the dog. Likewise the more powerful and larger the dog, the greater the potential danger should that type of dog goes rogue. How often does one see a relatively small person walking a beast of a dog that the owner would have no chance of controlling if control of the dog was lost. That presents a challenge to society.

[@mickrileybcn]

Blue skys in Madrid. nice.

[@BRIYONCE1]

How are the allergies this year, Stu?

[@oliverkitkat6860]

[@larryennis703]

80% of electrical vehicles are charged at home

[@barbaralavender6997]

If the letter 'v' is pronounced 'b' in Spanish, why don't they just spell words using the letter 'b' in the first place?
