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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -
