Teletext Holidays - Debit Card Charges
Hi all - just booked a holiday using Teletext and paid for it with a DEBIT card but was charged which I think, quite frankly, is outrageous - how else is one supposed to pay? Take the money in a wheelbarrow? Please refer to Teletext holidays payments via Google, second link. Yours, feeling quite peeved, MissBargainHunter

Anyone been to Thailand?
We've not been abroad for a good few years and were thinking of going to Thailand next summer. I was thinking of a week in Bangok then maybe a beach week. Any suggestions for where we should go - or is it not worth travelling that far afield?

Speeding ticket in USA
Friend emailed to say he was in Carolina and got pulled over doing 65 mph in 55 limit on a freeway. He's not happy as (a) road was almost empty and (b) thinks it's a way of local sheriff ripping tourists off and he intends not to pay it as he will be back in UK well before the due date. I advised that the law is the law…

Going to Iceland
OH and I are off to Iceland this coming March. Flights and hotels come to under £500 for both of us, so pretty good deal. Just wondering if anyone has been to Iceland and their experiences? Recommended excursions, restaurants, bars, prices and so on. Any advice greatly appreciated :-)

Buying a new Android phone in the US
I’m planning on buying a new phone, specifically the Google Nexus 5x. It’s £379 in the UK and $429 in the US (for the model I want). With the exchange rate where it is, and given that I’m going to the US anyway next week, it seems to make sense to pick one up in the US for an equivalent of around £278, saving myself £101…

Vaccinations for Asia
Hi, I was in Asia for a month last year and I'm going again this year though to a not particularly high risk area. There's a massive waiting list at the local Dr. and I might not be able to get seen before I depart. I would have thought that I'd be pretty much covered since it was only a year since I was last seen, but I'm…
