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!!)

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
