Time to read: 3 minutesThe most unprepossessing entrance to the worst kept secret in London! A brunch fit for… Well… The eclectic foodie. One of my best friends in the world had just come back from visiting his family back in Greece. He felt guilty and relieved at being back in London. He’d missed the place. And, to be […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutesSo it’s been a little while that this launched in the UK. One week to the day, in fact. (19th September 2012 – we’re the 26th) I kept seeing it in the corner of my website of predilection (amazon – I’m a Prime member… I order a lot of things…) and thought it was about […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minuteThe rabbit did it. No, really! There’s a rabbit sitting on the bar, and he did it! He made me order the bloody mary, and the delicious (they must have been fresh) squid, and the steak. yummm…. steak… Although, to be fair, I’m not sure I’d recommend the steak. I think they got my order […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minuteLondon – Eating & Drinking – Pubs & Bars – Bars – Eating & Drinking – Pubs & Bars – Pubs Convenient location, pretty good burgers, but a bit slow on the service for something that looks and feels like a pub.Wouldn’t either recommend nor discourage. If you have a taste card, make sure you […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutesA series of small houses, without kitchenette, in a field near the coastal road running on the back of the island. This is a quiet road. Clean and economical, especially if you need to fit a car into your budget for getting to beaches, other towns or archaeological sites. Also, Hostelbay and its unique ferry […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutesRoom was clean, although the floor seemed a bit dusty. We were disappointed to not have bathrobes in the room by default (and this is an expensive Hilton), and didn’t bother asking for them. An iron and ironing board are in the closet. Dry cleaning facilities are provided, but at €14 for a pair of […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minuteSo this is how I packed this time. Usually, I’ll just toss all my seasonal / qualifying items on the bed in piles by type, and pick and choose my favourites to neatly fold into my suitcase. […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minuteI got a recommendation from a colleague for OUTLET, for professional (or rather… LGB) flatshares, where I found an excellent housing prospect! But OUTLET requires a £7.50 subscription to let you contact the advertiser. (EEEP!) So… I used part of the description text to google with, and found the same advert on SpareRoom!! I contacted […] continue reading »
Time to read: 4 minutesSo I’m looking to move back to London, and more actively since the announcement of the futher rise of train fares in 2013. I already pay £280/month for my commute. If I could find a flat in zone two, that cost would halve. Of course living in London costs more, but if my rent+council tax […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutesIt all began with a simple tweet. Marks and Spencer advertised Autumn outfit ideas, and posted the link to a page with a nice scrolling gallery. Looked like flash. It wasn’t, it’s designed in HTML/CSS, making it in theory very accessible. I browsed the gallery quickly, all items popped up as “out of stock” when […] continue reading »
