    [Travel] Help needed with decision on which flight to book

    Often derided but Ryanair are laughing now. By far away the best bet of all especially flying from Stansted (the least affected airport). Between us we've completed both with and without check in luggage 10 Ryanair flights since March this year with no delays or problems. Or drive as others...

    [Technology] Advice sought, purchasing and installing solar panels

    Had batteries added to our system last week. 2x5kwh for a total of 10kwh storage. Very sleek and modern looking, expensive for outright purchase but with the Spanish Govt. grants at the moment a no brainer.

    [Brighton] Brazen shoplifting in Co Op Hove seafront

    You certainly can't in Spain, not that I've tried of course, but most of the larger stores have their own security guards.

    [News] Average tank of fuel now over £100

    Certainly is in Spain. Sheer coincidence, of course, that fuel prices rose 10c a litre last weekend coinciding with the Spanish Government's announcement that the 20c litre subsidy will be extended to the end of September. It was originally planned to end at the end of June but that coincided...

    [Misc] Giving up your seat for the elderly

    As a 76 year old (today as it happens) I've been offered a seat 3 times on the bus, but I've smiled and said no politely working on the basis that if I can still stand for 30 mins I will. However I like the manners of the younger Spanish generation who are far more aware and respectful to us...

    [Travel] Why are all these flights being delayed/cancelled ?

    A report today of an evening flight to Italy departing from Gatwick last Monday flew empty, 2 hours late, even though passengers were waiting to board. The airline? Vueling. The reason? They only had 3 staff members to check in luggage and load the flight. The pilot was instructed to fly...

    [Football] Champions' league final issues

    I think people should read Jason Burt's (Telegraph head football correspondent) article today in The Telegraph before making any further disparaging remarks about a famous city and its football club...

    [Albion] Pascal Groß the raumdeuter - officially leaves for Dortmund :(

    Watching the highlights (again & again) it's the space he makes for himself by backpedaling from the defenders and almost as if he knew DW would know he'd created the space. Wunderbar!

    [Albion] Veltman v Antonio

    This battle was picked up on the TV commentary I was watching. Overwhelmingly they decided Veltman won hands down.
