Re: Fuengirola Bar Interest

Since we get free tapas with every drink but coffee, the bars that charge a little more for drinks have the best tapas, so it's swings and roundabouts.

Re: Nationwide free debit card to charge now!

Well, let's hope they haven't shot themselves in the foot.

Thanks for that Fred, but please don't assume that that is the only bank account I have, it's just that I choose not to use that one as a main account.

Re: Can travel dates be changed with Ryanair?

Try ringing reservations

the number is from U.K. 003531 2480856.

I use Dialwise from the U.K. at 0.5p per minute, but sometimes it may be cheaper to book a new flight!

Re: Electricity, gas, water, council tax costs?

Don't forget that for electricity, you pay a standing charge before you even use any, same with water.

Sorry but I would have confronted them, if you don't then it will keep happening to others.

Re: Ciudad Real Central Airport

Yep, I'll believe it when I see it, their contract runs out with Granada in October. Can't imagine then renewing it, so hope someone else will step in.
