In the economic climate Spain finds itself in I am surprised that people who run a business have such a hard time of it trying to get Water & Electricity re-connected to their premises.  I can understand why people, who leave their premises have them disconnected to avoid standing charges but, it seems so bureaucratic to me that it takes such a long time for things to happen here.  Surely it would be in the interests of the Companies to get people up and running so they can claim more revenue.  Just as a matter of interest, I wonder how many people in the San Fulgencio area are without these basic commodities.  They say you can open without a licence if you are within a certain square footage but, do everything in their power to stop you having these basic needs.  Well it seems like that from where I am sitting.  Surely it is the easiest thing in the world to turn a key or flick a switch.  Perhaps I am expecting too much.  After all we have only been open 8 weeks without electricity and  a useable toilet.
