Re: Price of whiskey

If your friends are not concerned about which brand they have, Soares often have cheap whisky with interesting names :) (there is one on the square facing the beach). You can take full size bottles in hold luggage so no need to buy at the airport which isn't particularly cheap - when travelling from...

If you keep away from the lanes with a big green V above (the Via Verde lanes) then you will be able to get a ticket. These lanes read boxes fitted in the front of the car (similar to the Dart Tags used on the Dartford Crossings in the UK) to automatically pay the tolls. :wink: From the BRISA websit...

I don't have a problem with Easyjet in general but I do have a specific problem with them. I find their check-in system to be a shambles There is nothing wrong with the system - It is the punters who ignore the anouncements and could not tell you where the number is on their boarding card let alone...

Get yourself a BAA Worldcard affinity credit card from the Bank of Scotland and you can use your loyalty points to get free parking up to £100's value at any of the BAA airports (500 points = £10 of parking fees). :wink:

Those radar controlled trafic lights that measure your speed and then change to red if you are exceeding the speed limit :lol: Better than speed cameras with their £60 fines and three points on the licence.
