Hi, I'm sitting here with lots of Tht lollies and the like and not a single child has come here for Hallow'een yet. Merlin ipo - yes have been to Legoland Alton Towers, the Dungeons in Edinburgh, the Sea life places etc. Seem to recall the supermarkets (your beloved Tesco in particular) always giving vouchers for free kid entry with a full paying adult to their locations and think some of them are included in the days out clubcard voucers. Should do well for you and there will possibly be perks.
I didn't apply for rmg for a few reasons really. We were going on holiday. LOL the Westminister government knew they would be admitted to trading during the Scottish school holidays and they didn't want us to benefit lol. I am not sure as a user about services post privatisation etc. etc. but I have no objections to anybody who took part in the offer making a few bob as the sell off was a fait accompli. I wished my good mate deniscaff all the best with his. He's another rare breed on the bbs- an ordinary person as you once said and not a trader. We set up in business nearly a year ago now and a lot of our clients are on the islands so we hope postal charges are kept down and that outlining areas will keep getting a decent service.
LOL Talking of decent services, we were in the Isle of Wight this October as the kids' passports had expired. The private bus service was so bad that we ended up using taxis evening after paying for a day rover pass. One breakdown in a day is about as much as I can cope with lol. We did complain but we have had to deal with an Inspector Blakey jobs worth guy lol.
BT yes it will be interesting to see what they do but I am able to keep my email address for the time being. When we set up in business, a few folk had been trying to contact us and unfortunately we were not in the phone book or on the on-line directory which was a pity and on holiday the hotel had free intenet for bt subscribers only. We were both happy customers for years until we signed up for something supposed to save us money but actually it cost us a lot more. Complained of course but got no where and the regulator receives so many complaints - not just about bt - I gather that few are successful. LOL I remember having no internet access at one house because it was so remote there was no broadband just a slow dial up service. However, we are on a good package at the moment so that's all that matters.
