Spanish Driving Licence
I have a paper European English Driving Licence which is due for renewal in October - does anyone know what the current regulations are for getting a Spanish Driving Licence - I went to Guardamar about 18 months ago and had the medical done etc. Do I need any forms or passport photos etc.
If you go to the Phycotechnic in Calle Doctor Marron In Almoradi. You go the back road towards San Fulencio take the todas dirreciones road, follow that and go over the roundabouts until you come to the road which is first right off the roundabout to Almoradi. When you get to the next roundabout keep going towards Almoradi until you come to a petrol Station on one side and a Renault garage on your left. Keep going past the school and if you park up here you can walk to the Phycotechnic which is on the right by the traffic lights. They open Tuesday, wednesday, thursday and friday afternoons about 5 0.clock. They do everything for you and send it off to traffico. There office is on the first floor of the apartment building. Good luck.
They take your photo for you as well. My friend renewed his and it took about 2 weeks to come back. My husband has always used the one in Almoradi but he has not had it renewed by the new system yet. I am going to do mine in about 6 months and that is where I will go.
The clinic in Gran Alacant do it - fotos - paperwork etc - and medical - you will need a new medical as its not been done for 18 months - call 9666 97411 - ring in the afternoon as the girl spks english - its Av Escandinavia / easy to find opp the BBVA Bank - my mother in law of 80 plus has just had hers renewed and it was simple - take all paperwork - including old d/lic with the green sheet..
A New Poem By Pam Ayres
***************************************
I wish I´d looked after me tits
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me dear old knockers,
Not flashed them to boys behind the school lockers,
Or let them get fondled by randy old dockers,
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me tits..........
'Cos now I'm much older and gravity's winning.
It's Nature's revenge for all that sinning,
And those dirty memories are rapidly dimming,
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me tits
'Cos tits can be such troublesome things
When they no longer bounce, but dangle and swing.
And although they go well with my Bingo wings,
I wish I'd looked after me tits.
When they're both long enough to tie up in a bow,
When it's not the sweet chariot that swings low,
When they're less of a friend and more of a foe,
Then I wish I'd looked after me tits.
When I was young I got whistles and hoots,
From the men on the site to the men in the suits,
Now me nipples get stuck in the zips on me boots,
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me tits
When I was younger I rode bikes and scooters,
Cruising around with my favourite suitors.
Now the wheels get entangled with my dangling hooters,
I wish I'd looked after me tits..
When they follow behind and get trapped in the door,
When they're less in the air and more near the floor,
When people see less of them rather than more,
Oh, I wish.........
I'd looked after me tits ...........
