I agree Morocco is good for a short break. Might be cool in Feb though !

We went at Easter before last for a week (same reason).

Three days in the High Atlas mountains and four in Marrakech think I'd TRS

them for another trip. Can recommend good hotels if you decide to go.


Need to go a little further south for sun. Canaries is better but have to research

the best island as it can be windy too. Gambia sun is guaranteed but maybe a bit far (6 hrs).

Decent bargains in Egypt at the moment as people are scared off but not for any real reason according to my pal who commutes weekly and has a place there. El Gouna is a self contained resort with villa accomodation on the Red Sea that has everything kids would want, hotel pools you can use etc decent cheapish restaurants (Italian, European, African) and some beachfront with good diving. Not too pricey either at the moment and Easyjet fly into Hurghadha. If I had any dosh left this month adn had your spec with kids and wanted it fun and easy that is where I'd go.

I go to Gran Canaria every year in early Feb. The weather is blazing hot - like a desert. Yes it is a bit windy but it is the best way to start the year tan wise. It's an easy place to be as long as you don't mind shopping centres full of Germans.


Cape Verde is supposed to be nice too but the lack of Easyjet and budget hotels has put me off.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
