The Times: ‘Foreigners should not roam countryside as they please' !!! by SportsMan
After reading this, makes you wonder if Malta is really part of the EU!!! Makes you really wonder what time warp this island seems to be stuck in!:rolleyes: What a sorry state. Guess next episode of Dr Who can be shot here ...
I fully agree what alot of crap to put it mildly. As the article states, if the land is truly owned privately they should put a system in place to mark it as such. Malta's economy relies heavily on the tourist trade and i've heard of many storys ... Read More
Mould by TheDarkman
Two questions.............. 1. How do you avoid it? I've been here for almost three months now. I took a years contract on what will hopefully be a nice place in the summer, but at the moment the only way to describe it is HORRIBLE. I made what is ...
Not sure you would have to read your contract, but surely the landlord has to do something to fix it, mould is seriously detrimental to your health. Read More

I understand how the charge is applied and have read the information provided. My point is now the fact is, a car originally bought and registered on the island, is cheaper to tax than the exact same car imported or registered after 2009. I think, ... Read More
