It's very easy to give up alcohol at the moment. I'm on walkabout in Switzerland and popped into a pub in Geneva at lunchtime, where thank goodness, I read the menu before ordering. At 18 euro a litre I left a lot faster than I entered! Now where is that water fountain?!

Thanks for the understanding BucksBones. Perhaps Bigfoot was just having a bad day. :)

I've flown with them twice on long haul and could not fault them. From online booking to delivery of the end product, we had no issues at all. The flights were both on time and the on board service excellent from happy, professional crew.

To be honest, if you book online in advance you don't actually need a ticket; paper or electronic. Part of the booking process asks for your name to be entered. When the conductor comes to your seat you simply give your name. Easy peasy!

I think I am missing something here Val3ntine so help me out. I have read your question on post #26 a couple of times now. The same for Dstock7080's answer and have also opened and read through the link that they pasted with ASLEF's statement. Nowhere there can I see ASLEF making any...

Thanks everyone for the explanation same the link to the previous discussion. I'll check that out next. For sure, if I had been a passenger on that bus, I would first have made a dash for the door and then gone home for a change of pants. I would hope that the train driver was not the only...

I am not a railwaymen... Yet! So forgive the lack of understanding here. I was having a trawl through YouTube for something, when I came across a video depicting incidents at level crossings. One in particular caught my eye, as I don't understand how it could have happened. A little detective...

I think either you or your uncle are getting confused here Gordon. Burro is donkey in Spanish and Portuguese. Butter is mantequilla in Spanish and manteiga in Portuguese. BUT go to Italy and you can quite happily ask kfor some burro to spread on your bread! :wink:

Anybody know a good hire shop? :D:D:D Can't remember the last time I wore a suit; uniforms a plenty, but that's it. Blimey, I don't even have a jacket hanging in the wardrobe! Not poor or a slob. just relaxed! :wink:

A message of thanks to MarkVD for some interesting ideas. Obrigadissimo! Just to add to the excellent advice by Marc and Redonian: If you take Marc up on his idea of a car rental, do include the charming medieval town of Obidos about 85 kms to the north. If you like pastries, you...

Thanks for the interesting input everyone. Looking at ABTA's website and their definition of a Package Holiday, I think that what Ryanair do is outside the scope of the regs unless you book one of their holidays.

Hello John You seem to have most answers there but here is my two cents worth : 1. Porto is definitely doable in a day. CP run a regular service of Intercity and high speed Alfa Pendular trains for which you must have a seat reservation. The CP website is available in English and is quite...

If you book a flight and hotel in one transaction on the Ryanair website, does that make it a package? If so, presumably if Ryanair cancel the outbound flight causing you to lose the holiday, they have to refund both flight and hotel?

Likewise. We were planning to use them in November and December and again in February and March. For now at least, we've scrubbed our plans for December and will take a road trip instead. Two of the trips have gone to EZY the fourth is still in the planning stage. That's four return trips for 2...

November 8th here at 1pm. Good luck everyone.

Thanks guys. It's beginning to feel real now. I can almost smell the tunnels!

Room for one more inside? :D Yeah! The invite is here for a selection of dates at the beginning of November. Am I the last one off the ship? If so, I best put the lights off.

That's a shame. Be happy, wherever you go.

Sorry sea mate, but this is OMO now and I'm it!. Back into the tunnels you go!

Thanks guys. Let's see what next week brings.
