  1. Its so sad that people have to explain in simple terms, the basic laws of physics and just common sense to others who just are clueless or just dont get it !
  2. Not when there are two banners up clearly stating state if jalisco.
  3. So are vista alegre paying for these topes? Have they got permission from state of jalico, or is it a similar thing to the unlawful barriers that were erected in la floresta a few years ago? Wont stop any truck , they are bareky maintained , a run off should be constructed. They really are experts around here in wasting hard to get public funds, bike lane for example. Get the basics sorted first.
  4. Whatever happened to the thousands of immigrants that passed through guadalajara heading to the border a few months back?
  5. There was a big publicity stunt 2 or 3 years ago with new police trucks, what happened to them, the tourist police on quads, all the so called emergency numbers for robberies. Shake downs, noise etc etc?? Jerking our chains again.
  6. No sign of them today, was supposed to start 2nd november. Someone had a word??
  7. On lakeside of carretera in riberas, very small place which has the sky logo.
  8. According to publicity on facebook not starting until 2nd november. Im all for tourism and bringing pesos into the area but they do need to look at the noise problem in a big way.
  9. Of course they are. Cant you read nor understand? The whole world understands they are junk food and can be tasty. You for one are obsessed thats obvious. So go right ahead.i have never said anything to the contrary . But every bloody new so called restsurant that opens and sells burgers gets the rave treatment. Have you every been to a real restaurant serving real food not fried , nor deep fried?.that's been my point all along ,and you say demeaning what others eat, how about your comment ,eating with the celery stick crowd??? By the way i have stage 4 lung ,liver and colon cancer so my chances of me out living most others are zero. Im done.
  10. Just google it and look at all the health risks .grilling included. I do enjoy a burger now and again but this love in for junk food is beyond me.
  11. Amlo been trying to integrate sp and imss for months, still no confirmation. He has also just pumped a lot of money into sp for badly need drugs,particularly for cancer, that werent available earlier this year.
  12. Yes of course the bike lane is on the north side, but because of the lights at walmart they use the lakeside south side ,to make it easier and stay on that side . So as per normal creating more dangers and dont ask them to look behind before maneuvering.
  13. As predicated bike lane in ajijic complete waste of money. Blocked by cars , the few cyclists who actually use it need to by pass them going onto the carretera. Most dont obey the traffic lights. Heading west many still use the careterra going against the flow of traffic at la floresta, and non of them have lights at night or early morning. The junction at libramiento is a disaster waiting to happen ,they just cross willy nilly.
  14. Tom k. Did explain to me that there's is a shortage of public ip worldwide and the big boys get biggest percentage and smaller ones not so many. So they try to hang on to them until a new system is out there.
  15. Yes been doing this for some months now for customers. Started great with 24 hours changes made, then after a couple of months had to wait and wait. Suddenly a month ago all changed again and immediate responses. Excellent service now.
  16. Just to confuse matters. I had a crown from dental express and absolutely no problem. Going back for a second.
  17. I just dont understand this love in with hamburgers and pizzas. Both are cheap to make unhealthy foods that really arent worth the bother. If I'm going out to a restaurant im certainly not ordering that. I want something special.
  18. Its gringolandia remember. Where the expats want it to be like up north, willing to pay up north prices, over tip, say how cheap things are here and willingly pay over the top for services . They are actually ruining the local economy for locals and other expats who are actually are aware of mexico,its cultures and foibles and general cost of living. I have lived in a few countries, without American u.s. expats and never ever experienced this nonsense before. In some countries the locals would not appreciate this interference. Here as well, but they arent going to cut off the hand that feeds them. My mexican partner is horrified at the prices lakeside, and the attitude by expats. She isnt from here and sees things from an outsiders point of view. By all means support your favorite charity, pay a sensible wage and give a christmas bonus but do it with common sense, but as cg states thats sorely missing. Its mexico, fit in!
  19. Try emailing noc. Im getting exceptional service from them.
  20. Im from the north east and for many years the traditional chippy has been dying out. Those that are are owned by chinese and they haven't got the knack.
  21. Being a brit, ian and carnivore are both correct. Mushy peas tend to be more popular in the Midlands upwards to the border. Those peas in the photos are fresh peas, but no doubt frozen. Cod, Those fisn n chips in the photos look great. Hard to find these days from an authentic chippy and restaurants and pubs seem to be best plaice for them. We used to haddock it all way back when. Newspaper wrapping, scraps, fishcakes ,patties. dandelion and burdock to flush it down and in scotland fried mars bar , a bread roll,and irn brew.plus a picked egg.
  22. I went a couple of weeks back. I am in their area, no need for year payment but incentives for direct debit payment with card.
