There were 7,553,650 people living in Catalonia in January 2013, meaning 0.23% less than the same time last year, according to the Spanish Statistics Institute (INE). Out of this population, 1,158,472 people, which is to say 15.34 % came from other countries, including European Union Member States. This foreign population has decreased by 28,307 people, representing a 2.38% drop on 2012 figures. The latest INE data indicates that the average age of foreigners is well below that of Spanish natives. Consequently, the average age of all residents amounts to 41.50 years, while it reaches 43.19 for the Spanish-born population and drops to 32.19 for foreigners.

Well you can scratch another one off that list...we're off back to Blighty, or should I say Wales on Friday night for good.

Thanks folks, It's been fun. I'll keep you all posted, whether you like it or not. You know....idle prattle,wind ups and irrelevant arguments just for the sake of it. Go easy on the newbies.

Not a good Idea asking Tony to keep his end up Catus.   ;) ;) ;) ;)  (Sorry Tony,don´t sue    ::)  )

Nobby,So sorry to see you go,the forum will be the poorer without you.   :'(
Good luck to you both.

I would love to keep my end up but diabetes has some odd effects.   ::)

As if I would sue my best mate out here  ;)

Good luck Nobby

I went on your website it's amazing. I have learned so much.
All these years and I never knew you were a Nigerian prince.......
Of course I shall send the €5000 to get my part of your uncles will that I am due. Can't wait for the 4 million pounds. I entered all my bank details as asked and my passwords.
Thanks Nobby, without you and your family I may have had to go back to the yUK myself.
I'm even going to stop picking up carobs now :)

Now you're bringing back memories.I wonder how many on here are left from those days

Well Nigel for 1 :D
Ian are you keeping your place for holidays, or is this a complete move for good ?

You know what they say about Welshman lan Make sure you get a good looking one.  :D
All the best for you and Steph :-*

Yes, I was on Trip Advisor - that was 9 years ago. I posted something (I don't remember exactly what now) but it got deleted so I rebelled by creating the 'Tortosa forum' and the rest is history...

What a great idea, and still here helping and giving advice and information to lots of people.
Well done Nigel.

Fully agree.  :

There must be some sensitive Welshmen about here complaining  for you to take  Nobbies  Shield off Nigel.

You shoulda seen the picture I wanted to put on there. That wouldn't have lasted more than 2 minutes  ;)

To Mr. & Mrs. Nobrot, (Ian & Steph),
Hope you had a safe journey back over to Wales.
Wishing you both all the best,
From Rita & Paul.
