As Britain recovers from a long icy spell, the sun continues to shine down on Algorfa, although it has been wet of late. Businesses will be hoping for an rise in sterling value against the Euro,to kick start the tourist season. House sellers need this shot in the arm, as do many pensioners who have seen income eroded. A lot of working age Brits have gone back to the UK to get work, but that is not easy either. I really do think Spain needs to revise the way it runs its tax and social security syetems, which hinder businesses from taking on people with a proper contract of employment. Some companies offer a contract after 3 months but it very rarely materialises, because of the fear that the employee may renege his social security payments and leave them to foot the bill.
