Our next trip is in 6 weeks to east Majorca. Cala Bona, so it will be La Palma airport. All depends on how many flights arrive around the same time whether we'll get though the biometric check in a reasonable time. Noted that re Saga,thanks.

My bold: I was a bit bothered tbh. I've just changed it. I'm sure I tried once before and nothing happened.

I don't know. I don't have enough knowledge to respond. It's not a subject I've studied. I don't mean academically but 'out of interest' My bold. What kind of 'other realities ' do they have in mind ?

My wife has the account and can 'family share' it and I'm sure I had to have my debit card as the 'default' payment. Maybe I've got that wrong then and could have chosen my credit card.....for Section 75 protection over £100 value. I'll check that.

Good for you for refusing auto renewal, too. Saga do a good deal if you ever need to look around. Each year I called my insurance company re the home insurance and each year it's "I'll see what I can do for you " and each time I had £40 taken off but for 2025/26 (November) it was £52 less...

Re Amazon Prime you have to have a card number held and it has to be your debit..not credit card. I don't know if I'm helping myself or not but when I access my financial websites I never tick the box 'remember me".

When I have to go behind the bushes in the garden to clear up I now wear trousers, a long-sleeved top and a baseball cap and gloves...no matter the weather. I just leave it in hot weather. I do it because of previous bites. I use Antisan after the event. It really takes some effort not to...

You didn't need to write the first sentence. The rest is fine. I had to laugh..in a nice way..how you've used the word 'imagine'. ...'as some people imagine'..in this context. I'd have said 'believe'. Also, rather than 'some people ' I'd have thought it more likely it's the 'majority'. I use...

Hope you have a great trip.Sounds great. We're past all that now..lol .Pensioners.

Unfortunately, the recharge cable on my iPad failed and the one for my wife's iPad isn't compatible..it's an older model. I'd been unable to use it for about a week hence no posts. There was nowhere up there to get one. I ordered one from Amazon and had it sent to next door at home. We came back...

Your posts reminded me of a guest on Radio4 who deals with people who have OCD and who spoke about how people who just like 'order, ' tidiness, symmetry..especial the latter, have the OCD label directed at them. There's a condition actually called 'symmetry OCD'.That BMW badge, not straight...

....and who doesn't....:D

Yes. ..the Arctic Museum was a ray of light in a rather disappointing ,at times,grim, holiday. With hindsight, we think we should have stayed in Gairloch after reading Jannyfox's post about the Co-op and Morrisons. It's obviouly larger than we thought. Still classed as a village,though.There...

We went looking at houses in Devon a few years ago, and what put us off, apart from a few that had oil for heating,, were the narrow roads and a couple of near misses on bends caused by, who we assumed were, locals who 'know the roads' ... so,yes,I take your point. As you'll have seen re my...

Actually, it's not just quiet here but silent. The loudest noise I've heard has come from the oystercatchers. Oh,yes.....the wind plus the rain hitting the windows,too...Lol.
