Re: seems like a good idea

All this talk of 'Park and Ride' and parking meters seems to be aimed at the visitors - what about the people who stay in the centre of the village - would they get permits to park, have to park miles away or pay a fortune at meters. If they were to get permits, then there would still be very little...

Re: seems like a good idea

They tried 'park and ride' a couple of years ago from a piece of land right at the top of restaurant hill down to the square - only lasted a few months - don't think it could have been used much as it was not repeated.

Re: The Front Row

I'm driving to the airport to drop off friends. Wait a minute - who's this idiot in front of me - he's only doing 80 or 90 km/h - I'll never get there in time. I know, I'll overtake him on the dual lane bit up ahead - why is he crawling up it at 100 km/h in the passing lane. I'll toot my horn, flash...

Re: The Front Row

I don't understand how pppp can be so adamant widge's accusation is false when he has no first hand knowledge of the incident - he is solely relying on what others have told him. No company is going to admit to a third party (and customer) if one of their drivers has behaved or driven badly during a...

Re: Parking meters to park on restaurant hill

The Resident had an article last year about installing parking meters on Rua do Barranco but nothing has since happened there so maybe it is just another plan that may come to nothing (fingers crossed).

Re: USB Dongles

I have a Vodafone Vita Net dongle, works very well, but it does have to be topped-up within 6 months of purchase and again during each subsequent 6 month period.

Re: Today's useless trivia

At Sainsbury's near us in Fife the customers are obviously more trustworthy because they don't charge a deposit for the trolley. Having said that Homebase on the same retail park do - must be something to do with different types of people - maybe DIY'ers in this area are not to be trusted to return ...
