Well, after having spent some time in Lanzarote, i'd just like to voice my comments on how **** it is. All this is not aimed at the tourists but at the residents there, who I feel, are a bunch of misfits running away from there wrongs doings back in their native land.


Lets face it, everyone is allowed to make mistakes but if you carry on trying to con people and rip people off then life will catch up with you. The island is full of rip off merchants and players. Movistar is a complete rip off, Internet connections are difficult to get hold of unless you pay through the nose for it. Crime is rife from the Moroccans.The food and drinks are over priced and the restaurants (mainly in the old harbour) try and 'accidentally' put more drinks on your bill hoping you wont notice. This happened to me on many occasions, so check your bill thoroughly. The dive centres are mostly illegal and dont hold the correct paperwork to operate within the compliance of the law and probably would not qualify to get help from the recompression chamber should there be any diving accident. I booked a ten dive package and after the hidden charges were added it made my costs very high.

The paperwork when buying a car is hideously over complicated in order to prevent fraud but does in fact make it easier make a fraudulent case.

The spanish on the island seem to want to die and are the most miserable bastards I have ever met. Waiters seem to grunt at you should you have the nerve to order anything in their restaurants as this is an utter inconvenience to them. Hope when the airplanes fly over empty and they have lots of finger twiddling to do and no customers to serve that they might reflect on their previous attitude.

all in all, Lanzarote is a sad lonely place should you go there alone to retire, work or long extended holidays with no one from any nationality wanting to be social. If you have had mis fortune to have a timeshare rammed down your throat and foolishly bought one for an overpriced deal and you are forced to make use of it then make sure you have sky tv and lots of dvd's, It the only thing that will make your evenings worthwhile.

I'm glad i left and can look back (with a shudder) and think what a lot of pointless people living there and what a waste of time. The only good thing is the weather and thats it.

So, to summarise, Lanzarote, full of tossers and over priced.

so u like it then

GOODBYE

You bitter twisted moron this place will be better off without your types anyway.

From a guy who hasn't run away from the UK with anything to hide and has been pretty successful for the time I have spent here


So as I say GOODBYE and can we take it you will not be visiting these shores again

What a great post by the OP.

I just love a big RANT!!! (go on son get it off yer chest )

This forum has been a bit dull lately i do hope the admin lets this thread run.

Some of what he says is quite true esp the restaurant rant

IMO gotta be more bad places to eat and drink in on this rock than good ones.

Just glad i know the good ones.

Overhere....whats it to you if I do or dont visit lanzarote again ? you lot never socialise anyway....All you lot want to do is work people out to see if they have any value to you....

CARE TO EXPLAIN I couldn't care less if you come but judging by your rant you won't.

Never socialise? really???/

All you lot want to do is work people out to see if they have any value to you....Yep right on that one I have 2 staff both on contract both with holiday pay and decent wages and conditions so yes I guess I am entitled to work people out if they are going to be trusted with handling cash and be entrusted to run a business.

Come on tell us what has really happened to you while you were here!!!

Maybe your the one who is a misfit and by the sounds of it your the miserable one in more ways than one I understand you are entitled to your opinion but you sound like a miserable sod! we personally love lanzarote and cant wait 2 go back!

Blackpool - maybe you'd fit in better there !

john got a bunch of arsew---s on the board think the two are the same.


ps we were robbed today matey

Overhere....So you own a bar ? wow ! bet that one stretched the imagination....I know lets go to the Canary Islands and buy a bar....yawn...How stereotypically British.

Of course, if you were running a business that requires more brain cells than an Amoeba then I may have respected your comments.

"LANZADUMP" - nice user name!

You sound far too uptight and highly strung to enjoy a relaxed, happy, sunny and hospitable place like Lanzarote. Maybe you should consider holidaying with the Royal Family in Balmoral or something. That sounds more up your street!

Get a life - AND GET OFF OUR FORUM YOU MISERABLE GIT!!
