Burna Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 What sort of Menu is that, here are the options but the entire party has to have the same thing? How are they going to cope with anyone that has allergies, for example I cant have the fish as its got Ginger on it. Mate, I'm with you! I just couldn't get my head around what they were asking me initially by email yesterday morning, it took me a few emails to actually understand what they were asking me! It's ridiculous to say the least. And I still a little confused if that's what they actually meant! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 Ok, looking at what people have suggested, I'm going to let the hotel know the following: Thursday Evening Starter Plate of country ham and condiments Main Course Chicken filet, stuffing asparagus, fried vegetable, potatoes and pesto Desert 3 chocolate dessert Friday Evening Starter Watermelon, feta and olives salad Main Course Mustard Porc Filet, Linguine or French Fries Desert Fruit salad and vanilla ice cream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burna Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) This may be some use to most of you. I've recently signed up to Transferwise https://transferwise.com/ It allows you to transfer money into Euros (and other currencies if you wish) with far less fees than you would normally end up paying! And the great thing is now that you can have a debit to use with your accounts So while abroad you can either draw out the money from an ATM, or pay contactless or with your card and pin. I'm just waiting for my card to arrive as I only ordered it the other day, but hopefully it will arrive before I go on Dragonball If anyone else want's to join up then please use my referral link Thanks. https://transferwise.com/u/paulb1230 Edited May 10, 2018 by Burna (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Revolut offer the same services with the advantage that you dont need to do any transferring. Just top up in any currency you like and when you pay for stuff it does the conversion automatically at Interbank Rates. The App they have is mint too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to save me some money on this years trips abroad for sure! Edited May 10, 2018 by Burna (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burna Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) I thought it was a req to have a high vis, warning triangle & spare bulb kit in France I've never bothered, and known people get pulled for speeding and fined for speeding and never been asked to see the kit. One mans essential item is another mans advisory item I guess.

But as I say every year, it's all down to the individual if they want to play by the rules and by legal. It's always a case of "Don't listen or do as Burna does" if you want to be legal lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
