I'm sorry this is not really related to Dulwich, but I wondered if anyone could give me some advice? I want to book a holiday for myself and my twin sons who are 15. Everywhere I look is pretty expensive as they seem to charge 15 year olds as adults, so would it be wise to hang on and book a late deal? Do these really work out much cheaper? I'm thinking of going at the beginning of july.

Leave them at home - I found being left when my parents went on holiday very character building - I learnt to cook, to remove spiders from shower without being scared etc etc etc. Hopefully they won't mess the place up and the women in their later lives will thank you.

We are taking two 15 year olds to Cuba, a bit further afield I know. BUT where we are going is 24 hr all inclusive which includes all boat rides and activities. 24hr food and drinks so they wont be tapping me every 5 mins! PLUS It comes highly recommended as being safe for teens.

For four of us it is costing ?3600 which I think is very good value for money.

We booked with Thomas Cook on 0800 072 6055.

If you stay in Sol Cayo Coco the childs age limit is 16 ( I didnt see that until I had booked mine grr).

We are staying at Brisas Guardalavaca. One of my friend's goes there about 3 x a year so we know it's ok.

We took four boys - ages 15-17 - to the Algarve for a week and they loved it. Great hotel (booked the day before we left), lots of night life, safe for the boys to go out wandering, very English pubs and clubs, great beaches. Look for anything near the beach in Algarve and it should be inexpensive and easy to find. have fun!! Fly into Faro airport, coach from there to the hotel. Go for a package so that breakfast is included (if they wake up for it!!)

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
