Foreigner department Benahavis

This is the e-mail of the FOREIGNER department in Benahavis. It is an 8.7MB!!! e-mail, to say something which does not really help foreigners who are not speaking Spanish.
It just says "Please see attached for the easter week processions" and then everything else is in Spanish, including this picture too big for a 24" screen.
This shows how much work these people ( earning close to 2.000 euros/month plus free golf ) are spending on information.

Benahavis Local Police

I have been three times to the local police office in Benahavis today, and there was nobody all day. These are people getting paid over 2.000 euros per month, and there are at least 30 of them. WHERE ARE THEY???
What is happening to all these police officers, there should be enough of them to sort out a permanent occupation of the offices!
On top of that they have been fining cars parked next to the sports hall where there is no yellow line or any sign saying that you cannot park, just a white line ( not a yellow one ) delimiting the road. That is not worth a fine in any other European country, and probably not here either, but I don't think the local police know more than you and I about traffic rules.
In other towns there is a 1 to 500 or 1000 ratio on police officers to inhabitants, here it is 1 to 100, and you still do not get one when you need them! SACK THEM!!
