I read today in the Ultima Hora that the council in Palma wants to end dog droppings in the streets, squares and parks of the city. For five weeks intensive police controls will be watching for "flagrant breaches of the rules".
So it's not just PP that has this problem but it is good to see that the islands councils are aware of the problem and are doing something about it.

Here is the link to the full story http://ultimahora.es/mallorca/notic...a-los-excrementos-de-perro-en-las-calles.html

Hi Gordon i use Google Translate, it's not exact but gives you a good idea of what it's about ;).
 
Excellent news......

Impose high fines and use them to finance improvement throughout the island.

It is a disgusting thing and how people have the audacity not to clean up after their dogs I do not know.

Don't forget the cats!:mad: Not pleasant weeding the borders or sweeping up the feathers and carcasses of poor little birdies.:(

im real pleased to hear this, since coming to the island this has been one of my main groans, I am a dog owner and find it disgraceful that some owners are irresponsible and inconsiderate of others, not to clean up after their dogs, it is not difficult to carry a small bag with you when you go out, I havent seen any dogs out on their own since I came so there really is no excuse!
 
Great photo's but how bizarre !!!

Looks surreal.
 
Farmers are concerned that the recent cold weather may have cause damage to the early potato crop :(.
 
Daily Telegraph says Taylor Wimpey last man standing

Daily Telegraph Business section reports that Taylor Wimpey are the last building company left building houses in Mallorca. See the link.

Taylor Wimpey alone in Majorca - Telegraph

Friends just back from Southern Spain where they have a small apartment in village just off the tourist path report the local bar (not a tourist bar) has shut because it's no longer viable. The village feels 'dead'. People haven't the money to spend.

The weather was extremely wintery - but that's not something we can blame on the banks.
 
Funny you should say that. Today we drove down to Palma and on the left hand side of the motorway there were hundreds of sheep, most of which seemed to have very new born lambs...... Juan and I commented that we had never seen so many and wondered how they were surviving in this very cold spell.

Ryanair boss Mike O' Leary announces new mainland routes but will there eventually be any new ones for Mallorca?. He has certainly upset ex Spanair workers according to the Ultima Hora El presidente de Ryanair se ríe de los trabajadores despedidos de Spanair » Nacional » Noticias » Ultima Hora Mallorca

Would it be a good idea when mentioning Ryanair to refer to the company as "the Irish airline Ryanair"? This so that any backlash generated by O’Leary’s comments (i.e. by Spanair employees + many others similarly berated across Europe) is directed to the innocent Irish tourists rather than us Brits?
If you are not affected by Ryanairs business practises, O’Leary’s publicity outbursts, particularly about politicians can raise a smile, but I guess if it's your job, pay or conditions on the block it's not that funny.:(
