Ooops, last posting should be from Smudger........this "keep me logged in" a nusiance.........sorry Alibali!

Yip Pete-Flint. Been to hemingways several times. Reckon David and I crossed paths several times in the 80s as he managed bars in the West of Scotland that I (in an official capacity) visited!! Previous owner, Murray Clark, was at school with a couple of my former colleagues! Small world...............

Realise may not be same chemist but did see GNR clamp cars on 'out' road chemist opposite Hemingways (see my earlier posting). If you going to PO then assume you referring to spaces at chemist on 'in' road near to Irish Times? Anyway, on different matter, just home after 3 weeks near CVO and have ha...

First time saw the oldies on the scooter, they went into the bar, came out and sat in what I now know is there usual spot. Rosa followed shortly with two expressos, ah I thought how nice!! Then the two brandys appeared and I thought now thats how I want to be at 100 something!! What happened to the ...

Do seem to recall a sugar (and bread) shortage in Scotland back in 70's. Can't recall reason. Was working in a town that had the main Tate & Lyle packing plant at the time, was it something to do with a dockers strike? Would have posted under my own tag but can't seem to log on as me! Just use 'the ...

BBC Radio Scotland had an item saying Jet2 were sending empty planes late afternoon from Edinburgh to at leats 2 airports, 1 of which was Faro. No idea if they actually left, report was at about 4pm, typing this at 7.20pm.

Alibali (who should have flown out on 15th!!!)

After having flight from Glasgow (Prestwick) cancelled yesterday and today, we rebooked for Monday. I've just received text from Ryanair cancelling that flight. News is indicating restrictions are being lifted from Scottish airports so its a bit puzzling! I'll wait now for e.mail to confirm cancella...

We have just turned around on way to Prestwick Airport (Scotland) on advice not to travel to airport. Have managed to re book for tomorrow but Met Office now saying it may take few days to clear. Fingers crossed we'll get to Carvoeiro at some point over the weekend to enjoy the lovely weather!!!!!! ...

Agree with rolf66, second hand car market was a favourite target for this scam. The room booking cheque scam went the rounds here in Scotland about a year ago.

We bought off plan a longgggggggggggg time ago! Been out at VDO several times a year since then, seen VDO develop over the years. We're sure will be success but we've been spoiled since not busy any time we are there. Hint: count number of properties x average 4 per property = number of sunbeds roun...

I got £1.00 each way , no charges etc from Glasgow (Prestwick) 14th-21st January.

I think the one below Martins Grill is called Grande Cafe. We had lunch there on Monday. Nice pizza, omelettes, burgers etc.

We ate there last Nov and had great lunch. Went back Aug and whilst food was good they messed up order and we waited ages. My daughter and partner got a carry out last week, they waited over an hour, said place was in chaos, wrong orders and folk complaining. Then, when they got food could not eat i...

Anyone been there recently. We enjoyed it last Nov, but recent posts have not been so good.!

Bruce, was it Vale D'Oliveiras? if so can you advise where documented?
Thanks
