Re: Sinking of Naval Ship
I'm with you, TomUK. My great grandfather and grandfather were both employed in the Clyde ship yards back in the 30s and 40s. Never knew my great grandfather but can remember my grandfather talking about the ships he had worked on. He followed their sea going life and I'm sure he'd have mixed emotio...

Re: Aptamil follow on milk
We looked/searched for similar back in June but only found powdered. We also tried the s/mkt with the petrol station just off 125 at Lagoa and Continente at Retail Park. Did find other liquid starter milk.

Re: Portimao retail park destroyed by fire
Oh dear, we'd bought many items from the various stores at this retail park. Our sons especially liked wandering round the sports shop while we did a sweep of the supermarket. Bang goes the loyalty card!! I felt a different centre from the Algarve Shopping Centre and the new Aqua Centre. On a positi...

Re: Another satisfied customer for AlgarveDriver.com
We've used Algarve Driver for years and (touch wood) not had any problems or difficulties. Bookings have included delays due to the Icelandic ash cloud and extension to booking after deciding to stay on for a few extra days. Nothing fazed Algarve Driver/YOR. In July, YOR operated out a yellow VW Cam...

Re: Is there a gym in Carvoeiro
The indoor and outdoor pools at Vale d'Oliveiras are very good but you require to wear a batheing cap in the indoor pool. The gym is popular with resort users. Also a sauna and jacuzzi.

Re: Thinking of using Algarve Driver
Just arrived home to damp and dull weather. :( Have used Algarve Driver loads of times and always found them very good. Had 3 week hire beginning June and a further hire beginning 5 July, originally until 13th. However, because of awful weather back home decided to extend stay until today (16th). Em...

Re: Pay and display
GNR booked/clamped two cars this morning that were wrongly parked in the bays outside the chemist shop on the out road opposite Hemingway's bar. Took a long time to examine the documents of one of the owners.

Jubilee Celebrations
This may seem strange coming from a native north of Hadrian's Wall......but are any venues in CVO planning any Jubilee Celebrations (just realised not sure of actual date!!) I do know that we're over during the celebrations and would like to raise a glass or two in celebration.

Re: Long Queues at Carhire in P4
Already posted about Algarve Driver but didn't mention waiting times. To date never been an issue, think in the 10 years, generaly no waiting, or if so, just one or at most two before me. And that's over various times of the year. But then haven't had the experience of the new car parking arrangemen...

Re: RASCALS
Been to Rascals couple of times (October) and enjoyed both visits. Dined on one occasion, food good, freshly made. Attentive service. Looking to hold a friend's 70th there next year.
