He's not there at the mo(on holiday) but, Simon Scoble who owns Scoobys in Gale about 10k west of Alberfuria, massive Palace fan, might be able to help.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr Scoble but never visited his establishment.He is excellent company.

He is a charming and affable gentleman who is over-burdened with charisma and warmth and has a heart as large as Moby Dick.A jolly japester who is an avid supporter of our club.

Willo, sometimes you can post on here & totally blow things away. If ok with you id like to enlighten Scoobs with your oratory of him. It made me smile, im sure it would him.

I readily admit that I have never addressed the charming gentleman as "Scoobs".One assumes it relates to the name of his establishment in Portugal.

You may indeed enlighten "Scoobs" with my oratory of him - rest assured, my comments were genuine and well-intentioned.

I have not had the pleasure of being in his company for quite a while but the passage of time has not dimmed the positive memory I have of him.He is engaging company, an estimable chap and a lighthouse of joy.

Finally, from your profile it is apparent that your 'Pied a terre' is in the Alicante region. I have had the good fortune to pay a few visits to the town of Guardamar and also on a singular occasion spent a few days in Elche.Perhaps my wife and I will traverse to these parts next year.
