Thanks for raising this brendan, all new to me! Looking at the various suppliers there's such a wide range of stuff to choose from I'm a bit confused on what types and how many to actually buy. If a cloth "lasts for years" as suppliers suggest then would say 2 of each type suffice? Assume ...

ricflairandy, I may have missed something but I can't see any real business logic in amalgamating the properties. Would it not be feasible to buy the barn and keep them as separate units rather than have all your eggs in the one basket? From an investment perspective, splitting titles (making 2 wher...

Not posted on here for a while and had to think twice before posting now... A member posted a different opinion and got shot down in flames by the clique. Then presumably due to frustration he made the mistake of poking someone with a stick so the firing squad was quickly assembled and they all live...

There's also 'A' and 'B' which increases the random number generator significantly. I'm not sure how many stealth burglars would be willing to stand on the path entering that many combinations! Oops yes you're quite right but even with 12 buttons it's still only 495 combinations (but despite that, ...

I've used key-safes for years both local and remote. For me their convenience and flexibility has worked wonders but in stark contrast I've always been wary of their security! (but I still use them as I believe if a thief wants to get in they'll get in anyway). Most of the popular brands seem to com...

Re: Extra guests?

I have listed the property on AirBnB as holding a maximum of 5 people. It is quite a spacious 2 bedroom apartment (1 king and 1 twin/superking) with a small double sofa bed in the large lounge Regardless of there being only 2 bedrooms I'd read that as: 1 king = 2 people 1 twin/superking = 2 people ...

Can you trademark a hashtag? I doubt it, so on this occasion, I'm not sure they are doing much wrong by using the hashtag You can register a hashtag but even then that doesn't give you any exclusivity (still nothing to stop others using it for their own purposes). Unless one can prove their intelle...

What worries me most about the referendum is that such a complex and crucial decision is going to be made by mostly uninformed, often confused, and sometimes bigoted people Wow!.. that's one hell of a sweeping statement. I'll stick with the shortcomings of living in a democracy and leave all that d...

I took mine into the Alicante office, job done in 10 minutes. Thanks Marks... nothing like a bit of progress. Couple of questions (4 actually) just to make sure if you don't mind :wink: 1. Is this address you went to (off SH website)? Registro del Servicio Territorial de Turismo - Alicante C/ Churr...
