Hello kind people.

Such a pain, but we have a ?2700 all inclusive holiday for 3 in the South of Spain, Estepona, but may not be able to use it as son (12) has eye infection and he will probably not be able to swim, so could be very grumpy if we do go - this First Choice/Thompson hotel has a water park (slides etc) as the key attraction!

We probably can't sell it (apparently illegal unless we are ATOL registered(!?)), but are looking for alternative ideas

- could swap e.g. for a week in a ski chalet next winter, or

- swap for a 2 person Laser sailing boat to use in or near London.

- leave son with family and just wife and I go...

OR???? (someone may have a much better idea...)

Go on your holiday as a family and do lots of fun family things together that don't involve water.

I'm sure after this last year in GB with its weather, politics and exams (in son's case) I'm betting you are all ready for some relaxing time together. Just watch out for the evenings. 12 is about the age when boys start to notice how interesting some girls now appear, even with an eye infection !!! Have a great time.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that

      If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.

      I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
