[pollensafan]

A mob has committed widespread vandalism overnight across the beach, children's playground, shopfronts and the Marina. The Associacio De Veins (which, among other things, manages the beach) has brought in the police who are investigating.

Unfortunately, no matter where you are on the map, you will always have that element of human nature.

It's just becoming a joke now!! ��

You really could not make this up. If it were not for the fact that I know Jeremy Beadle is no longer with us, I would be expecting him to jump out from behind a sun lounger and shout " Game for a laugh"

Won't be long now before signs go up all over the island " Closed to tourist"

The folk that come up with this stuff really do need to be in a home for the terminally stupid.

Unbelievable!

I do enjoy reading the comments on the articles in the MDB, there was a comment wanting to end the Magaluf and Arenal type of holiday. Well I'm afraid that is not going to happen with these new laws, won't affect that type of tourist. They don't care if there are no private apartments to rent or sun beds on the beach, they're sleeping or nursing a hangover. I'm afraid we can't afford to come to PP next year as it is way too expensive for hotel and going out to restaurants and the doubled tourist tax thrown in for good measure. So am now regretfully looking elsewhere, we are the type of tourist the contributor wants to come to the island but have been priced out unfortunately.

According to the Foro Vacacional organisation, the new holiday rentals legislation has directly affected more than 6,000 families and will result in a loss of potential business amounting to 527 million euros in global terms next year.

At a conference in Alcudia, the president, Juan Estarellas, who was formerly the president of the Aptur holiday rentals association, described the legislation as a "policy of terror". The reform had come, he noted, at "an ideal time" to ruin a sector that was asking for regulation and not for prohibition.
...


Foro Vacacional is encouraging any owner facing proceedings to appeal against them and claim that the right to lease a property is covered by the Constitution. It also suggests that a change in government after the next election (in 2019) will bring about an amendment to the recent legislation.

Slightly exaggerated I think.

Well they say there is humour in everything and the headline about the tourist coach being pelted with eggs leaving the people in fear of their lives is too good to resist.

I suppose it could be life threatening if one hit you in the eye and would be no yolk.
You might even have to shell out for a bandage but hopefully you'd be all white in the end.

If someone got it on film it would be one for the family albumin.
Well I must go now as omelette for an appointment .


PS apologies in advance if any one from the " I'm looking for offence brigade" is reading

This is no poultry matter it is serious.

 

[pollensafan]

Oh dear, I seem to have started an eggpidemic of puns.

Well done folks, you made me laugh and that's not been easy over the last 18months.

Strangely enough I used to live in Hendon. No, stop it now, I can already feel the hot breath of Madam " S " about to descend on me for going off topic.
Apologies in advance.
