Re: BLACKPOOL AIRPORT TO CLOSE.

I have just been reading the Gazette online and it is official that Blackpool Airport will close on the 15th October. All flights will operate until then. The cheeky so and sos are still charging the £10 airport development fee for passengers leaving until then! Balfour Beatty who own the site want ...

Best Place for Foam cushions

I need to get some new foam cushions made for the settees. Does anyone know anywhere that does this. The foam cushions need to be of good quality foam. The last set we had made has lasted over 15 years!!!

Re: Warning!!! Intermarche

Can someone please tell me whether these two "ladies" and "gentleman/men" work all through the week or is it just weekend or near to weekends. I am in contact with David Thomas of Safe Communities Algarve and who just happens to be a personal friend. I was telling him about this the other week at a ...

Re: Warning!!! Intermarche

The highlighting of the two ladies helping themselves to other people's possessions is something everyone should be aware of. I have posted this information onto Facebook this morning so that people who aren't Carvoeiro dwellers or come onto this forum are in the know. Forewarned is forearmed.

Re: Carvoeiro To Guia

Personally if I was staying in Guia I would eat in the restaurants there and give a trip to Albufeira a miss. All you would get is typical tourist food. In Guia you will get to go to the places the locals go to and the prices should be better.

Re: Henry Hoover in Algarve ??

They are good for using on tiled floors but if you are wanting to hoover carpets or rugs, forget it as you can't get the backward and forward motion you can with an ordinary upright.

Re: Just checked my credit card statement

MBNA also charge a non-sterling fee for items bought in euros. Last lot was £1.16 for 45 euros worth of goods. Personally I think it is a rip off, another example of Rip Off Britain even though MBNA is actually an American organistation!

Re: Supermarkets delivering to Villas

Tesco previously decided that they would no longer deliver to Direct, something to do with the fact that if they did online grocery shops, then the people walking into the shop in Andover wouldn't have the choice and the shelves may be empty !! Simple solution, order more stock tesco.

Re: ryanair profits fall

I agree and that's why I never fly Ryanair unless they are the only airline flying to that destination. The reason the baggage handling is so poor is the choice of airports that they use and how little they pay the ground handling agents. Successful business model but treats his customers with amaz...

Re: Freemasons Lodge

Emulation Man - you asked a perfectly reasonable question and expected, as is right, a perfectly reasonable reply. Take no notice of those who scoff and scorn, there are a lot on here who take delight in belittling people. I will get back to you as soon as I can.
