Bogus gas men

I have just picked this up on Tortosa forum and though it was worth placing on here. At the moment there are bogus gas men working in the area, who will ask to check your gas supply and contracts. They are using fake ID's which look genuine. They will then cut your pipes and charge 150 euros to re-connect them.

Do not be taken in by them, you have the right to refuse access to anyone on your property,

Just use the following phrase: Marxi de la meva propietat ara, o i anomenarĂ  la policia
(Leave my property now, or I will call the Police)

New Chinese Buffet in Amposta

A new Chinese buffet has opened on the site of the old bowling alley in Amposta. It is next to Cafoc hardware store on Avenido Catalunya.

We visited this last week, and the amount of food available was amazing. It is owned and run by the people who use to run Casa Wang and still run Wang Bazaar. The cost is 8.50 euros per person excluding drinks for a lunchtime and 9.50 euros per person on an evening. It is well worth the money.

You can choose from a hot or cold buffet, as well as sushi and having the chef freshly cook your chosen raw food. We went on a Monday night quite early and it soon filled up. There is a smoking section in the restaurant which is closed off from the main area.

Before I receive comments, asking if I have shares in this restaurant - No I dont. The only interest I have is in sharing knowledge of a good restaurant with you.
