Cant say I have.. TBH, the thought of trying to drive around Greens rite now has been putting me off trying these places out....

Yep, The Lakes has been going downhill for months now. Mind you, met Felix, the F&B manager and he used to be up at Montgomery. Did a cracking job there so hopefully he can pick up the pieces left by Jeremy....

I use VPN for BBC iPlayer...but with the cable problems in the Med - download speed is erratic - the iPlayer often shuts down. I'm on a 2 MBps package as well.
