Hi everybody!
We are a bunch of students from Scandinavia doing a thesis on British expats in Spain. If you have a spare five minutes could you please, please help us by filling out this questionnaire and send it to us. Appreciate it!

Please send the questionnaire to: rhafner@ruc.dk or les05057@stud.mah.se
Thank you very much for your time and effort (and sorry for that listing above, just found out that you cannot post any files there ... so if you prefer a word-document, just mail me!)!
