Re: Car Rental loyalties tested

Drive4fun took Euros 2500 from a friends account at Christmas when they picked up their car, yes he got it back eventually ( in two refunds ) but at the time they could not get any funds via an ATM because of this. Queues are a fact of life once the season gets underway for anyone who uses a company...

Re: Car Rental loyalties tested

We have stuck with Algarve driver for our next trip albeit we have downgraded fom our usual grade of vehicle saving a not insignificant amount. With the proposed changes at the airport will Zitauto and those others who still have reps inside the terminal at desks by the coffee shop be allowed to con...

Re: clifftop boardwalk

When we were last ou there was little work being done, none of the decking had been installed, it certainly looks impressive and will be a real asset to the area when completed.

Re: Sexual Assaults on young girls 2004 to 2010

Camerons involvement and his instructon to the UK police to turn over every stone in this high profile case will inevitably lead to a lot of dead ends and wild goose chases. This is what we are seeing now,the BBC will have scheduled the prog months ago, it could not report , nothing to report so a p...

I have seen the following , not sure if it agrees or conflicts with previous posts. Update for 2014 The PT government has INCREASED the percentage allowance before tax on short term lets covered by a AL Licence. Under the simplified Tax Scheme the allowance for 2013 is 80% of turnover calculated as ...

Re: Sexual Assaults on young girls 2004 to 2010

Do you honestly believe that these vents could have taken place as suggested on the programme without them becoming general knowledge and a subject of much and long discussion on the forum at the time ?? I am just not convinced, the Maddie investigation has been full of much smoke screen dead ends, ...

Re: Sexual Assaults on young girls 2004 to 2010

I agree , we have not seen anything to concern us in our time in CVO where we spend up to 20 weeks year. I have a certain degree of concern about the circus that has built up around the abduction of the Mcanns daughter . If any parent has any concerns then do NOT leave children unattended at night ,...

Re: Explosion

I suspect that Rooney's agents will be going through the small print in his new contract to see if there is a way out for him .
Moyes will be thinking of ways to spend the money he will get for being paid off ?

Re: Praia do Mohle

We were there a couple of weeks ago, there is still a beach of sorts but to get into the sea means finding a way through loads of rocks.
The cafe building is still there but whether it will open again who knows.

Re: New car rental charges proposed at Faro airport

It will probably go the same way as the unlicensed tranfer operators with the GNR checking vehicles for their permits etc. No doubt they will have to pay to use a reserved parking area where clients can be transferred to where ever the cars are kept. The days of reps inside the terminal other than t...
