LOL - good one Weeksy!

We are taking a chance this year and are going to Bulgaria, even here there is a £400 difference per person between low and high season.

Anyone got any race circuit links for Bulgaria :devil:

Also shows why more people take their kids out of school a week early .... only way you can afford to take a family of 4 on holiday.

And while I'm up here on my soap box :mad: how come kids at 12 are classed as adults on the plane and get charged accordingly, yet, they are still classed as kids in the hotel room and don't count to the number of adults in the room so you get hit with an under occupancy charge :mad:
