    Same here. When i think of these holidays I always think of Rodney in only fools and horses winning the competition for a holiday in Majorca and becoming one of the 'groovy gang' for a week. I might be totally wrong but I get thoughts of "have a couple of drinks tonight but don't forget you are up at 8 in the morning to watch the team train". "Groovy"

    Sounds about right...
    When I pay my C. Tax, I call 300300 and do it through their telephone payment system. After I've done it, the voice says...... 'if you want to speak to an advisor, call 300300.'

    But I'm already on 300300, For F**k Sake.

    Having worked for HCC some years hence, I'm not surprised. Some of the managers were dickheads and the councillors were a bunch of old soaks, who went around in a clique. A bit like a geriatric mafia.

    Acun can't be as strapped for cash as some make out, apparently he's upgraded his Bombardier private jet to a Boeing 737, paint job and all. :emoticon-0138-think

    No way, those things cost 100mill +
    Are you mixing it up with our sponsors airplane kitted out in city colours (don’t think it’s a 737 though)

    Defo not his, it’s an operational aircraft that used every day for the airline. Not just used for city flights

    Yeah but how much does that cost to book out for the team and all the staff/fans? Plus all the accommodation and other bits too, just seems like we could have gone to Scotland or Ireland and trained there.

    We could have kicked the **** out of East Fife, Stranraer and Albion Rovers, get the morale up.

    Id guess 70k+ to lease the plane
    Probably less with the sponsorship deals

    Indeed, but I'm not the one that claimed the 'Botanic regulars' flew out on Acun's private jet. :emoticon-0138-think

    Have you looked at the cost of accommodation and stuff in Scotland, Ireland? There is a reason people go abroad for holidays rather than stay in UK apart from the weather. Anyway Acun probably gets deals on the Turkish stuff.

    The cost of Hotel accommodation everywhere has just rocketed in the last couple of years,no wonder they're dying a slow death.

    We're literally paying double for hotels in the U.K nowadays as opposed to pre covid AND the quality has dropped,lack of maintenance is evident,Europe isn't much different.

    I've had tents and camping equipment for many,many years,some of it since my adult children were kids.It's back out from under the stairs and about to get used and abused again just shortly.

    It's stopped for me,I'm not prepared/can't afford to be ripped off any more.

    A lot of people can't afford foreign holidays anymore,spare seats are beginning to show up in abundance on flights ...The airline will charge those going more from now on because of this and some of them will soon decide not to go anymore.

    As for some of the Canary/Balearic Islands demonstrating against tourism,they'll soon find out to their personal cost that it's unwise to bite the hand that feeds!!

    I mean everythings expensive
    Bills food
    Everything the same as it was
    But with less money left

    And i can see why the locals are pissed off about the tourism

    Its the rich buying all the properties and turning into airbnbs etc
    And locals cant afford to buy or barely live
    Similar to some of the nice places in the uk

    Its not hotels these days
