after engine problems in the car we were intending to drive back to england in, we had to fly back for a family wedding. We arranged for our beautiful five year old golden retreiver to travel back in a pet taxi. Ithey advertised air conditioned travel and pet friendly hotels. He died of heat stroke somewhere in France. Nothing could replace our beautiful boy but I want to make sure that no one has to go through the pain that we are going through. How can we do this . We live in la maraina, elviria part of the year. - nancy holdswort 03 - 07 - 2009

After 15 years at frequenting Torremolinos in Southern Spain I would like to report some cheating and dogy dealings from a couple of bar landlords. The 'cheating stealth' happened in front of my very eyes. I should very much like to expose these unscrupulous, extremely 'dogy'characters in the 'Sur in English'. This is to save unwitting people from lining their pockets with more 'ill-gotten' gains. Please advise how ??? - F. Dale 27 - 06 - 2009

We have a construction loan with Halifax, and we have completed the house, and have applied for the first occupation license in November, but have not yet received it. The bank says they won´t pay out the last 30 percent of the loan without it, but it didn´t say that I needed the license in the contract, only that I needed to finish the house within the two years, and the two years will be completed next month. I don´t think what they are doing is legal, and would like to know what steps to take. Many thanks, Wendy Warren - Wendy 24 - 06 - 2009
