Ripped off by booking.com and Britannia hotel
I booked a room at Sachas hotel (Britannia) at 00:30 on 09/10/21. When I got to the hotel 30 minutes later I was told by the doorman that check in stopped at 00:00 but I shouldn't worry as I would not be charged for the reservation. Needless to say Sachas charged me the full fee at 09:00 am. I have disputed the transaction…

Insurance cover for UK trips (cancellation ) post Covid
Prior to Covid, any UK booked trips were covered by the fact that I had an annual policy for overseas holidays. It wasn't usually possible to cover for a UK only single trip.

Motorhoming in the UK
I'm thinking of hiring a motorhome for the first time for a week in June. Looking at prices, it's around 1k for the week for one that's suitable for me and the family. I can find a nice place for less than that, so for it to be worthwhile, I want to make use of the 'mobile-ness' of it! What I'm concerned about is how…
