If you are roasting it, leave the skin on, it is lovely.

My way of choice is stuffed, with couscous and feta cheese, very nice.

Probably not low carb though

For VT, my thoughts on Florida car hire.

For us, being sure we have adequate insurance in place is paramount. With this in mind we look at the following options:

If we are flying with BA (and nine times out of ten we are as we like the avios scheme), it's always worth comparing the cost of flights only with flydrive. BA flydrives come with an Avis car and have all the necessary insurance. We did this for our most recent trip in January and once cashback from Quidco had been taken into account, we paid only £20 more for a flydrive than we would have done for flights only. Flydrive has the added benefit of being classed as a package, so you only need to pay a deposit up front, with the balance due x weeks before travel (sorry, can't remember how many weeks )
Next option is to look at Alamo Brits (must be the Brits site, not just regular Alamo). The advantage with this is that if the price drops after you book, you can cancel and rebook at the lower price - you just need to go into your booking, where there is an option to amend it. Again all the insurance you need is included.
The last option we look at is Hertz as DH is a gold card holder, which is actually nothing special as anyone can apply. You can set all your preferences on their website to ensure you get the coverage you require. Rarely the cheapest option for us these days but they do occasionally email us some good offers.
If you are staying onsite, another option would be to get the Magical Express from MCO, then pick up your car the following day (or later into your stay). With Alamo Brits you can book a car to be collected from the Disney Car Care Centre, which is near the Magic Kingdom. Just let the front desk at your hotel know the day before and they will arrange transport for you to go and pick the car up.
If you don't intend driving off site, the Disney buses are great. I'd say most of them have room for two wheelchairs/EVCs, and these ALWAYS get priority boarding over everyone else. During the day I don't think you'd have any problems and coming back from the parks in the evening the buses are pretty frequent, so at worst you might have to wait for the next one. If the dispatchers know there are disabled guests waiting they can radio for buses too. Using Disney transport onsite and Uber if you want to venture elsewhere might work?
Hope that's helpful, but please shout if there's any more you want to know. Also have a look on the Dibb forum, particularly the Transportation and the Special Needs sections. There's loads of information there and they are a friendly bunch if you have any questions.

If roasting it cut it in chunks.

I can never remember how long to roast it for though. Think it is about 30-40 mins, I just throw it in lol

I'm a big Neighbours fan, have been from Episode 1 :eek: Did you know we could be losing Neighbours. Ch 5 are talking about dropping it. There is a petition appealing to Ch 5 to keep showing it.

I've signed it of course :cool:


Used to watch Home & Away but when that moved I stopped watching, I started to watch the News instead

Yes I did know, and already signed it.
