Those of you who read The Mail, did you see the picture of Porto Timoni  and the caption underneath saying "Aegean beauty: Porto Timoni in Corfu"
Think someone needs a geography lesson!

By the Mail's standards that was nearly accurate!

We have towels down on the sunbeds then the four people go on a trip till 4 o'clock in the afternoon can't understand some people

They are a bloody irritating breed who do that Carl. Last year we would go down to Manthos in the morning to find towels already down on several sun beds and regularly this group would not appear on them until the afternoon having walked up the beach from wherever they had been in the meantime 🤷🏼‍♂️

An interesting one on peoples morals and standards and very current I guess. On the face of it to put towels on the beds early morning and then go off all day is just not on for most reasonable people. However, as it turns out or indeed people who wander off for a 2 hour leisurely lunch and leave their gear? Where does it end; remove those towels if you go to the table for a drink, swim or pee?

There's a bit of a difference between beds you pay for on the beach and beds you don't pay for at a pool, isn't there? Free sunbeds are a courtesy, and I'm with Carl on this one. Tying up a sunbed when they're in short supply and not using it for hours is simply rude and thoughtless. We usually grab a free sunbed at Mistral or Waves, but we always eat or drink there, because that's the deal. If I'm not on the sunbed or in the sea or walking along the beach I'm having a Mythos in Mistral. At places like Nafsika I reckon residents have prior rights to the beds by the pool. Common sense and manners is all it takes.

I just think if your going for lunch then fair enough your not away most of the day and then to come back and sit in them for abit before getting the transfer to the airport that's just my opinion but happy holidays

Hi Carl, don't let it impact your hols, get on with it and enjoy!
Jimbo, you are your normal malaca self ;D


Oh, by the way, despite living in Yorkshire, we don't share their philosophy, we pay for sun-beds on the beach.... :-X [size=78%] [/size]
