Some of you have obviously hit the keyboards, without reading the links. :roll: And a few of you have thankfully not done the above. :) Well done to those. And some of us object to being patronised, and to seeing other forum members being patronised, and find it offensive. What would you like to sa...

Seeing as your website is a co.uk your prices will have to be in pounds as that is a UK based domain name. Can you link to the legal requirement for .co.uk sites to show prices in £s? Ho, you are so disturbingly troublesome and you know that. That is not what was said that is very obvious. I don’t ...

Please Emmy, don't spoil a really good website by using Google Translate! You say you realise there are "some issues". I don't think people who do speak any of the languages you offer will appreciate reading these versions and they'll actually be a source of hilarity. For many years I have...

It's like the unfair pension laws when living outside the EU or commonwealth. The vast majority of UK residents don't give a sh*t because it doesn't affect them directly. This started worrying me over a year ago. A search at the time produced this: “If the UK were to leave the EU following a refere...

However, must say that it is an easy site to use with some nice features. The operators are very helpful. It is one of those sites that you wish would really take off and get results. Ditto.

We top up/fill in on our own visits. We do have a bit of a battle with honeysuckle though, which is frustrating, give...

Even if you decide not to charge it to your guests, seems a good idea to try and stay in your neighbours' good books - you never know when you might need them again!
