Today I have been back in Spain exactly one week. So much has happened, we have got our tv-antenna re-installed, our broadband installed and before that we got our new car.
We went to Torrevieja to get our brand newe vehichle on Monday. There he was, waiting for us, all white and innocent looking. And why not, he has only been driven about 3 kilometres. We were introduced to him and learned that he saw the day´s light in 30th of September exacttly 14.34. We then checked the Finnish calendar and learned that it had been the nameday of Emil. So Emilio he is, Emilio Yeti Skoda. You might think it is crazy to give a name to a car, but since it our first for us tailor-made car, he has to have a proper name. Slowly but surely we drove him home, Hubbie did, that is, I haven´t yet touched his precious little what- nots, but will soon.
I mentioned that our neighbour stole our tv-antenna. I don´t know if this can happen anywere else, suppose it can, but coming from thru and thru earnest Finland, it was a shock for me.
In August, when we came for a ten days stay here, we realised that something was hanging down from upstairs neighbours´balcony down to us. Coming closer we saw that it was our tv-antenna´s cable, that was cut off.
I then went upstairs, meeting for the first time our new neighbours, who rent the place. I asked about the antenna and they told me to call the Rental Agent, which I did. It turned out that the upstairs people hadn´t have tv, so the Agent had decided (without informing us anything), to cut off our antenna and move it so that the neighbours could get their tv- channels. When I, very upset as I was, called the Agent, he said that our antenna must have been illegal, since the company that was selling the channels had gone bust years back. I then told him that we didn´t have had any pay-channels and also that taking somebody else´s good is called a theft from where I come from. This fellow, called Steve then said:" But this is Spain, madam."
Now, when we came back, I asked my lawyer could I sue this Steve fellow, but he said, as illegal his action was, there´s no point, since the legal procedure can take years and lots of money.
Soooooooo, we called the company which had used our antenna to the neighbours´purposes, they came, installed a new antenna to same place the old one had been, charged us 75 euros and left. We now have our tv back but I still wonder, who had been made the fool of this story.
