Re: New Wine Bar Opportunity

Will you be looking to keep the prices reasonable to attract the customers to stay for more than one drink, or will you be doing what most bar owners seem to be doing and fleece the tourists for as much as they can for a short season? :x

Re: Quiet around town

Have to say yet again that it seems that the traders in CVO are pricing themselves out of business. I noticed last year the many of the bars etc were not only empty but charging high prices for drinks etc. I can only agree with what has been said in the past, that they are all hiking their prices up...

Re: supermarkets

I think that you will find that Intermarche prices will be pretty competitive now the season is coming to an end.

Re: The Stranglers

Great to see NIls back with the Boss. I remember when the Boss played Newcastle and i managed to get a chat with Nils, said he couldnt do his back flips as he had hurt his back at Wembley. Happy days :D

Re: Carvoeiro 2009 Holiday review

For Info, if you are anywhere near Rocha Brava, avoid the little supermarket there like the plague (one next to the fountain). There prices are ridiculous and totally over priced, as that is the only shop in the area. Need a bit competition i think
