You have not said if you own or rent, or if you have a mortgage.if you rent you are obliged to tell the landlord,if you have a mortgage you are obliged to inform them.Other than that there shoud be no objection from anyone else, it does not require any building regs. Arfer Mo.

Hi Peewee 84 l have been in France now for 8 yrs and love the environment, and sometimes l do miss Sheffield but its the 60ties era and as someone said, one cant turn the clock back, as for the Sheffield of today, l dont miss the unwanted foul language between sexes, the constant muggings,the endless traffic jams, the ever growing concrete jungle taking place of the warm and friendly city that l knew, by the way have you come across another ex Sheffielder name of David Simmons who kept a bar in Sitges. Even if a move may improve things for you, im sure you've made the right move. Hoping to hear from you Cheers Arthur [arfer mo]
