Hi BM,

Didn't realize you where a local national. My comments where not intended as an insult okay, just maybe shine the light from a different angle then what you are used to. Once again, no insult intended.

Hiya BM!!!

You're not looking for a GM to run one of your companies are you? Just joking... Hat off for a local national that admits he not only understands, but also has style.

P.S. I come with my own car, at least in the UAE I can afford to fill the gas tank of the British beast. As per today? 1 liter of gasoline at the pump in Amsterdam costs 1.62 Euro.

best to go to the 'outside dubai' ones 2 weeks before the start of ramadan, as the final few days before closing becomes like a toy shop on xmas eve..
No they aren't they have been open normal hours for the last 5 years i've been here Barracuda et al are closed for the entire month.

I don't bother with MMI and A&E. I incorrectly assumed they all kept to the same rules..
Obviously not..

If criticism or something similar is like water off a duck's back to somebody, they aren't affected by it in the slightest.

no idea...but as long as you have a license and you are not drinking it in public you cannot go wrong...after all sheik Mohammed owns the stores and allows them to sell it even during Ramadan....
