  1. In a hotel in America I left a 10% tip.The following night we got a note saying "we expect a 20% tip in the USA" so I left 5%.
  2. I meant the rates without the bolt on was a fortune.We stayed in the hotel most of the time and their WIFI was really fast.Probably that Chinese G5 we rejected,lol.
  3. My mrs has O2 and she only gets free roaming in Europe.When we went to Morocco recently it was a fortune so she made sure to use WIFI.
  4. It's just been refitted apparently.Looking forward to anytime dining and Blu restaurant on Aqua class.We had club dining on Cunard and loved that also.Brian.
  5. As a plumber,just the sound of the words leek/leak used bring me out in a cold sweat.
  6. Hi all,just booked our 1st cruise for 5 years off the telly.Spain,Canaries and Morocco.Barcelona to Barcelona over 2024 Christmas and new year.Flights,1 night hotel,12 night cruise on Celebrity Infinity, Aqua balcony,grats,drinks and wifi all inc. £6198 for 2 of us.Researching everything already,lol.
  7. It was a few years back I read it was illegal.Thanks for info.I broke the law anyway ,lol.
  8. They cut short our tour of the live volcano in Hawaii to visit the bloody Dole pineapple plantation and factory.I did buy a pineapple corer,well impressed.😒
  9. I nip into Belgium and then Luxembourg for no tolls and cheap fuel.Back into France at Metz.I read that cruise control is illegal in Belgium,but how they police it I don't know.
  10. I use the cruise control mainly on the A1 toll road thru Italy,decreasing or increasing by 1mph with each click on the steering wheel switch.Gives my right leg a needed rest.
  11. Our friends have just returned from Perth after 2 Princess cruises and visiting friends.They flew nonstop nearly 18 hrs,sounds good but not when all the toilets run out of water and block.Not for me, I like a stopover at a hub to stretch my legs for a couple of hrs.
  12. I rented a car a few years back with lane control.Unless I indicated it would jerk me back to my original lane.My fault I suppose for not indicating,but there was no other cars around.Took some getting used to.
  13. Loving the humour in your posts Selbourne despite the frustrations.OMG,I see what you mean by not wheelchair friendly,they look like tank traps in the road.
  14. The police were going to charge them with battery but had no leads.
  15. Quite right Graham.I think the higher end Teslas have a longer range but cost an arm and a leg.I've heard stories of "charger rage" at motorway services.Too much,too soon to appease the greens.
  16. Westminster Abbey now 26quid even for us OAPs.In the summer hols as a kid I used to get a red rover and go in all these places for free.The red rover was 5 bob,lol.
  17. For me,a retired plumbers dream,standpipes and stopcocks😉
  18. Having never visited your region,it is the only part of England I haven't visited.Would you recommend Shrewsbury over Gloucester.Just done a dummy booking on NE and can get there for 50 quid return for 2 of us although the bus doesn't leave Victoria till 13.00.That may be a gamechanger.TIA,Brian.
  19. Homemade banana,walnut and sultana loaf tonight,lovely jubbly.
  20. Just looked at the map,it seems about 50miles from the Shropshire border,but you might know,hopefully,..😊
