Contradictions

I was taking to one local removals firm who have about 3 artics coming every week with people moving here, yet as we know estate agents say how bad property sales are (see below) and international schools pupils are very much reduced..can you figure this...my only view is are these people going into rented villas?

Or are they just moving furniture & goods purchased in UK to their second homes on the Algarve? Home furnishings are very expensive in €'s if your income is in £'s ?

I think the removal guy is pulling your chain , he may be busier with many of the removal companies no longer being able to afford trucks of their own and thus they sub contract the work out to some of the bigger transport companies but 3 a week - very doubtful .

dont think so, I pass by their warehouse frequently and there are always artics outside, last week their warehouse was so full with arriving stuff you couldn't even walk thru to the office
