online shopping

maybe you should start by clicking on the "recommend" button?

Hi Julien

How many 'recommends" does it take before it becomes eligible for 'sticky' status?  I think that this information is invaluable now.........and for those who visit the site in the future.

Kind Regards

Mike

  The online shopping list is great but for the rest of the stuff its all in the Maltese phone book isn't it?

assuming you have internet access straight away. If it was that easy for people or maybe it is and theyre just lazy. This blog is a case in point....if everybody believed its that easy then these blogs and many others wouldnt exist as there would be no need. Plus as i said its far better to get a recommended service than not - there arent any in yellow pages for sure.... and finally the reassurance factor.

Without internet access they won't see this site anyway, however I do agree that recommendations are better.
Just trying to save you some time and energy when you could be watching newcastle

My experience of yellow pages Malta/Gozo via the internet is that they are rubbish. Not updated .
Toon, that is a very considerate thing to do.

i do a lot of stuff like that - mainly aimed at newbie arrivals - and by the way went to se scoobs yesterday - busy setting things up and will advise by PM of the results.

Yes please. I too am setting things up with him, had a couple of good chats on the phone with him, really looking forward to meeting up with him and you guys in July.
Now waiting the opening of our bank account with HSBC Malta before I can complete the form filling. (That will take a couple of weeks from now.)
I have also engaged John Huber to sort out our tax issues. I gave up as my brain was scrambled and advisors here wanted me to give them all the information about taxation in Malta before they would do anything, so I thought; what's the point in me doing their job for them, especially as I don't understand it all and how it applies to us!!!
Ciao!!

the original was indeed a cut n paste but it has been regularly updated by me personally on my own laptop - albeit not for a good while since, with my own added links from my own shopping experiences. and that of others.

...............and done for the benefit of the forum members (we don't have to click/like our responses ). It's a great asset toon, well maintained and improved - and refined selflessly without inducement...........................it gets my vote (oooops!)
