Well things have changed since 2020 things have been harder to find.  The only British "food" items I want is a single malt and tea. Both have disappeared off of supermarket shelves. I do not live in an expat zone- Maybe it is better in these areas.


Well all EU-UK / UK-EU trade got more difficult and more costly so I’d not be surprised to see a Spanish retailer give up something that may be marginal for them.

Is there a good local off-license or a Spanish equivalent to the online shops such as Whisky Exchange, Loch Fyne and Maltmaster?

You’ll be hard pushed to find British tea. I don’t think we grow much here.

Do a search and surprise yourself. Besides I think you know what I am writing about.

Everything can be found on Amazon. 

After I had written that most UK foods have disappeared I was in my local supermarket and saw Walkers cookies, Belgium chocolate and stem ginger. The address on the box was Walkers Germany. The same supermarket only has two single malts in stock. 
Everything is more expensive even  Spanish products.

What's your preferred method of using one of those @grizz, do you sort of straddle it or what?

Two sets of handcuffs and a ball gag ??

Not sure where to put this.

Maybe both threads?

Not a humorous grin but rather a pervy one.

Just showed up on my YouTube feed.

In the "More" section there are some links that may help.

Is this the stuff you edit for that TV channel too? 

How does that work in the States, can anyone just pay for a broadcast license or whatever and start sticking their stuff on a cable channel? 

The stuff for the TV channel is usually much shorter, current project there is basically a series of adverts for local landmarks and businesses.

I'm not 100% sure on the details, but I think for cable you don't even need a licence as such, just pay a cable company and make sure you give them a feed that meets their technical standards (and content standards, I suppose). We broadcast online and on a channel on the local cable company. Broadcast feed is run using an open source package called ffplayout, which is both brilliant and awful. One of the other things I'm working on is an automatic playlist generator for it, the built in one is shite.

It is decidedly amateur, but that's the point 😁
