San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

Wow.........I probably opened a can of worms when I mentioned Brexit.....! 

My opinion (for what its worth) is that I do agree with both Tony and Jimbo to varying degrees.

I think that Tony living in the South (as I do), he has seen a massive change in our basic infrastructures over the past 5-10 years and I think that the south east seems to have a larger migrant population than the rest of the UK simply because of easy access to Dover, Channel Tunnel and the 5 'London' airports.

To be clear, I have absolutely no issue with controlled migration of people who wish to come to the UK to work and contribute to society and also respect our values/customs even if they differ from their own.   

My issue is with the migrants who have come here with their hands out expected a free ride and have quickly worked out how to flout the system to their advantage (usually by having children...).

I blame Blair as he completely shafted us on this particular issue and whilst I totally agree with Jimbo that the majority of the migrants add value to the UK, I also agree with Tony that in my area (Kent) we have seen crime rocket over the past 10 years and the vast majority is nearly always looking for an 'East European suspect'.

The local schools, hospitals, housing are all collapsing under the strain of trying to cope with the population mushrooming at a far greater rate than it can cope with and this needs addressing.

I have no idea whether economically the UK will be better off in or out of Europe as the details seem to be sketchy at best.  I work for a large accountancy (one of the Big 4) and my colleagues seem to think that coming out is a massive mistake but if people aren't given a laymans view of the pro's and con's to each option, then they will vote based on what they do know.

As Tony says, papers such as the Sun and DM have a massive following and the average person will vote according to what affects them on a daily basis in and around where they live and not on the perceived economic benefits of in or out.

It will be interested to see what happens. 

No idea - but if they don't, there is a launderette next to the Olive Shop (opposite Ozzy Oil) which is very good so you'll be fine

funnily enough Rover.....no!!! 

So....with Monarch ceasing to fly to SS from Gatwick and it being my preferred airline, last year we flew with Thomson which was fine.

We go indy every year so we only need flights anyway.

However this year we are going for 3 weeks instead of 2 and Thomson refused to quote for 3 weeks which I found to be totally ridiculous.

In addition to this, we are flying home the August bank holiday weekend so flights with Easyjet, Thomas Cook etc are all sky high (over £350 one way....)

So I thought outside the box and decided to fly back with a non UK airline to mitigate the BH price increase.    Soooo we are going outbound with Easyjet for £130 and returning with Norwegian Air for £170.

Well happy and have saved almost £600 for the 3 of us......

Love it when a plan comes together....

Brilliant - always good to have a new restaurant to try especially if Quattro isn't reopening this year.

I should have booked last week when 10-28 Aug was £230 each all in - now up to £300

Will sit tight and wait to see what the spring brings as Easyjet released theirs yesterday and prices were still in the £280 - £320 bracket which is more than I paid when I waited to book until end of April last year.....

Ask Speros to do you his new items which he road tested on a few of us in August  - deep fried feta and also parma ham and stuff figs

If you dont fancy any of those, try his lamb chops or curry - bloody lovely

i'm with the wait and see crew.

Although I would love anything that took away business from Kostas and Delfino Blu..........
