Hi Steven, yes, they are an excellent team and played better than us on the day. Roll on World Cup 2026....Thanks for watching, all the best Mike and Yvonne.
@BetweenTheLakes Thanks for the reply Mike 👍.......You can't beat a bit of national sport abroad, in good weather, with a canny beer price and great craic 🍻🇬🇧🇹🇷
Another great video. As another Brexit exile can I ask why did you choose Spain over Turkey ? (although I think you may have covered it already in a previous video).
Hi Ian, thanks for watching. In 2006 we chose Turkey over Spain as we didn't feel we could afford Spain at that time, (before the price crash in 2008). We bought a 2-bedroom apartment for £36,500 and sold it in 2017 for £28,000 so not a very good investment. we used the money towards buying our current property in Spain in 2017 which was 59,000€ then, and and now it's worth about 80,000€ so we are now happy with our purchase. Hope you are well, best wishes, Mike and Yvonne.
Hi Steven, thanks for watching. Yes, we wanted Turkey to win so we could beat them in the semi-finals and then play Spain in the final....and win, of course.
Hi, we didn't look too hard, as we were on holiday, but they are still probably slightly cheaper. We sold ours in 2017, (we were there for 10 years). Yes they are bigger on average I would say. The problem for us is the economy is so fragile with inflation very high, we lost lotsof money when we sold it, so Spain is a better option for us. Our Spanish property gas already increased in price from 59,000€ in 2017 to about 80,000€ today.
oh well had a feeling Spain would win. fans had a good time in torrevija
