Yesterday morning at breakfast a guest asked "Can you recommend a deserted beach near here for us please?"
August on the Costa del Sol, sure no problem.
It's August for ****s sake
It's August for ****s sake
You don't have to write something on every thread, do you?
Oh we've had that one! 
Trouble is I do know one 
but it's a fav of some friends and they disagree with me sending anyone there 
My current 'august' problem is not being able to get taxis for guests. We can only call the village taxi service (the taxi drivers won't come from out of their town boundary to pick up) and they're regularly taking the phone of the hook
So when our last guests were leaving for the airport...we couldn't get through. Mr Mouse had to go into the village and flag 2 down!
The taxi drivers here are a powerful bunch and lobby the townhalls to stop them issuing temporary licences for July/Aug when the demand goes up. Naturally this leads to lots of illegal taxis

...When we were In EGYPT for Goodness sake..this woman was walking about all week with loads of clothes on muttering to all and Sundry [and her poor Hubby] about not expecting it to be HOT
Well - it does vary with where you are, doesn't it? I remember being in Luxor on a "business trip" one May, and I had to wear a jacket and tie whilst visiting the Valley of the Kings, Karnak etc - but because it was so dry (bone dry!) you could tolerate temps of around 48 - 50 degrees C, which would leave you floundering in the GB humidity.Big Sis.. wrote:...When we were In EGYPT for Goodness sake..this woman was walking about all week with loads of clothes on muttering to all and Sundry [and her poor Hubby] about not expecting it to be HOT
That's why I love the Med climate - it's warm, but fairly dry, and you can feel comfortable in temps which back home would have you prostrated (spelt that right I think!)

Jumping is just dressage with speed-bumps.
Same in Las Vegas - it get over 100 F but it doesn't feel too bad, as there's hardly any humidity... Why can't it be like that here in the UK???Moliere wrote:Well - it does vary with where you are, doesn't it?

Well, you see, there's this thing called "an island", which is a Britain surrounded by water, and all the water is trying to invade (like Big Sis's birdie!) and some bits of it make it, so it's damp.feathersonline wrote:Why can't it be like that here in the UK???
At least that's what i've always heard.

Why not just pull the plug out, so the water goes away???Moliere wrote:Well, you see, there's this thing called "an island", which is a Britain surrounded by water, and all the water is trying to invade (like Big Sis's birdie!) and some bits of it make it, so it's damp.feathersonline wrote:Why can't it be like that here in the UK???

He wasn't drilling to let the water out but to
find more oil.
