    Are food and drinks being adulterated to deal with the lockdowns and inflation?

    I was told by someone on another forum that Gordons Gin is imported in large tanks then bottled here. The alcohol content in the UK is 40%. Several other well known branded sprits are imported using the same method.

    Just when I was beginning to think WTF am I doing here something rather nice happened.....

    As the years of living here roll on....must be around 14 years now. I do admit to once in a while finding it increasingly difficult to put up with the mess created by totally useless politicians and others, especially those of a certain persuasion. I shall say no more on that. However the other...

    A second quarantine?

Lately, even during busier times I've been noticing far more adults walking about town without wearing a mask...

    Season's Greetings from the Coffee Chat Group

    Bit pricey then there's the delivery charges on top. Not worth the risk.

    Season's Greetings from the Coffee Chat Group

    As a big coffee lover can I ask what blend of coffee you drink? Shop bought bean/ground coffee in Argentina is shit. So much so I noe buy Dia instant Colombian which tastes excellent at a fraction of the price.

    Merry Christmas to all Expats in Beautiful Argentina

    As is anywhere....however Spain does at least have an economy reflecting the era we're now in. Whereas Argentinas is still stuck in the 1960's.

    Merry Christmas to all Expats in Beautiful Argentina

    If somone wants to leave Spain to relocate here they obviously must have a strong attachment to Argentina. If not they must be off their rocker.

    Borders remain closed
