The Agni tavernas got a huge plug from Toyah Wilcox on that TV show, but we tried them all and found them hugely expensive, and one that I will not name was positively a rip off. So they might have done it for themselves. Certainly in May there did not seem as many planes in the airport, nor as many folks around. Will see what I find in september.

Lager? Chemical tasting YUK. Can just stomach an Amstel or several if it is so cold to take the taste away, otherwise not under any circumstances thank you.

It is the 'screening' that takes the time once you inform them of a problem, but it IS worth it, as should you fail to own up to everything, should you have some trouble abroad then I have seen cases where the entire insurance gets made null and void. Insurance is always cheaper when you purchase it direct rather than take the travel company offering.

Insurance must be seen as a necessary evil, I pay and then forget about it. As others observe, it is FAR more costly not to have it if something goes wrong. The problems start when the will not cover certain ailments, in that case it is a lottery of luck. Bizarrely my AXA policy will not cover me for my stable hypertension, but WILL cover my wife for the same thing!!
To Mr Zimmer, there are several companies out there that specifically cover over 65s(humble apologies if I misread what you said), so spend some time on their websites and get quotes. As I said I have found that Direct Travel on the South Coast have always given me the best quote, but you pay's your money and takes your pick.

Yes Zimmer, quite a hike when you hit 66. Hands up I have been honest with my broker Direct Travel, where I get my annual insurance, and get a tidy discount when I renew. They are one of the cheapest(NOT inferior) to begin with anyway. None of them really like anyone like me who has cancer, so they usually will not cover it, or quote a big premium, which in my case is tough, as at present mine is not life threatening.

My mate who is in Arillas right now tells me that the path to SS is now properly open again after the cliff fall in winter, and the beach is coming back.

Yes Sir, we spent an extra £100 in May doing the same as we did in 2008. Bristle Boy hits nail on head, yes every labour 'government' leaves a monumental financial crisis, and the longer these clowns hang on the worse it will get. Shame, we deserve better.

Aaaargh...thanks to McBroon and all the infighting with the damned incompetent labour party, the pound has dropped like a stone against the euro. Lost 1.25 euros on Thursday alone
