Can I get a NYE refund due to illness?
Advice please....We booked a UK holiday for a week to include New Year's weekend. I booked a New Year's Eve meal/party for my family of 6 in the hotel. It was expensive, about £100 each, but we thought we'd splurge this year. When I booked it was stated the tickets were non refundable, which was OK as we had every…

Hi my partner loves downtown abbey and I was told you can actually visit there on certain times of the year? Has anyone ever been? And with us living in Manchester I'm guessing it's best to stay close for a day or two so would there be anywhere close by to this? Thanks

Family on the Tube
What is the best way to get around on the tube as a family over a weekend? I notice the 3-day travelcard is no more. Contactless cards arent appropriate as we will have children/teenagers with us and as we will be visiting only once, Oyster cards seem OTT. How much is a cheapest 3-day/weekend travelcard for 4 x adults and…

Keeping food warm on a journey
Apologies if this is not a good place to ask this question, but I can't quite work out which part of the forum would be best. Next week myself and a few friends are helping another friend move house. As I have various dietary requirements I said I'd cook my version of paella and take it for us to eat at lunchtime. My…

Is three weeks to long?
Three ladies I know want to visit London in February. They want to stay for three weeks, but I feel that would be too long just for taking in the sights. Just a quick look at the entrance fees for some of the attractions will cost a small fortune (why the voluntary £2.50 at tower of London?) or am I out of touch? Can…
