surreal experience on virgin trains
Today we travelled up to Scotland on a Virgin train. Shortly after departing, there was an announcement on the PA that there was free WiFi for everyone onboard who had booked online with Virgin Trains - remember that, Virgin Trains.

Hi, I am visiting Blackpool for the day tomorrow. I am disabled and use a mobility scooter so would like a car park near the pleasure beach as that is were my family want to go.

Holiday cottage companies
I've stayed in many cottages with many different companies over the years and whenever there's a problem it's always the same .... The holiday cottage company may have advertised the property, accepted your booking form, taken your money, but if there's a problem it's up to the owner of the property to decide if you are…

Does anyone have any experiences of investing in the Holiday Property Bond company. It's a sort of timeshare/debenture company.

My main concern is what happens in the worst case - say the other party end up refusing to…
