The rubbish collectors in Tías, San Bartolomé, Teguise and Tinajo are threatening to strike from next week, starting on Monday, that is – if there is no agreement between the union U.G.T. and the employers.
The union says, however, that there will be a skeleton rubbish collection. Having seen how quickly the rubbish bins fill up – often requiring daily collections – this may not be enough!
Sometimes you see signs that have been translated into German, only not quite translated correctly. This can have funny results. Take this example seen on Lanzarote:
The correct translation would be “ein halbes gebratenes Hähnchen”, ie. one half of a cooked chicken. Unfortunately a “Halb Gebraten Hahnchen” means one half-cooked chicken…
Calle Lanzarote is a blog with pictures and information from the island of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.
It is intended as a collection of information on places of interest, things to day and tips on where or where not to got out to eat.
