Hi emsirrah,

Thank you for this most important and valuable information.

My daughter and her friend have flew out to Goa today and I have had some concerns with there being no beach facilities. It looks like there will not be any facilities for almost their holiday which is not good as they have only gone for 2 weeks. However, with the info you have given emsirrah this is an enormous help as I will be in a position to advise them where to head for on the beach when she rings me tomorrow.

Oh it's happy slappy HD again hoiliday deceptions.I'm already banned for quoting the truth on this site.
I'm sure this is run by a bunch of holiday reps

I wonder if this site is owned by that well known holiday company called T****** H*******? Just get that feeling. It seems strange that they are trying to gag members on their site.

Sunglow.

Anybody want to have a look at the weather forecast until 11th November

It won't be like it all day - infact some days may be different but thought it was going to be sunshine all the way now.

Sunglow - in which area is your daughter staying?
There are beds and brollies in Baga and the beach is cleaner.
Don't know about Candolim but will have a walk down there tomorrow.

Hi emsirrah,

Staying in Candolim but not too much of a problem as I will advise them to phone my rickshaw friend and he can take them to Baga Beach.

Thanks again.

Sunglow.

Where is the best place to buy a decent sari now that the buy one get one free shop has gone in Calengute. Have given all mine away. I know some smart arse is going to say Mapsa Market, but can't stand being there for long and don't want rubbish. Next negative moan - hate Bombay Bazzar feel like
screaming when they follow me around. so that will be last resort.
Local tailors rip you off - been there done that, worn the T Shirt.

I think Next, UK are selling them now, or is it M & S, one of the High Street chains anyway?

Don't ask me how I know that, I just do, okay?

Your secret is safe with all your friends on BE

Try the 99 rupee shop in Calangute. Its in the corner of one of the little alleys leading off Calangute Main Street, past the old petrol station, then either first or second left after the parade of posher looking jewellery shops on left hand side.
Its run by a little family of guys, and if you go in and have a good banter with them, they give you discount. They have some very nice saris in there and quite cheap too, even though these are a bit more than 99 rups. Bought a 100% silk one in there for a friend at 350 rups last year.

Dread - bargain hunting

Thanks for that - hate that shop - skinny bitch shop - come out with bundles for my daughters and grand daughter.

Hi Honeybee

we found quite a few bits in there for the non skinny bitch. My mate got stuff and she is size 18. You didn't look hard enough!!!!
I also had some stuff and I ain't no posh spice size ...

I like St Ritas clothes shop in Calanguts as well, they cater for real women.

Dread - not size 0

Will have a look - have seen M & S' and next stuff in there. Rather grubby but 99p. can't go wrong.

What about Monsoon or Accessorize?

(Don't ask me how I know that, I just do, okay!?!?!)
