  1. I have received an email from Ovo, my energy provider, informing me my name has been given to them by the DWP as a person qualifying for the Warm Home Discount. I will receive £150 credit on 20th December. I have looked at the criteria for inclusion and I certainly do not qualify, nor does my wife. Should I tell them ?
  2. There is different rules if you use Blue Light Card or Defence Discount Services. The former require you to apply when you book, DDS do not.
  3. Doesn't always follow. My Jan 23 Iona cruise was £1129 pp for a balcony in May. Now £1499 pp
  4. We all have our price limits, a personal choice. When we booked our Jan 23, Canary Isles cruise on Iona, the price difference was about £700 pp between Saver and Select, £400 OBC for the cabin on Select. I won't pay £1000 to chose a cabin, others will.
  5. You are obviously not a new comer to cruising or the holiday trade in general. Fluid pricing is the norm and you pay your money and take your choice. We have four cruises booked, three on Select and chose our cabin, one on saver because the Select price was too much more to pay. Our choice and we are waiting to find out the number for our January 23 cruise. It will be a balcony, on a lovely cruise ship, lovely, jubilee.
  6. The only way is to involve the media. No company wants bad publicity. I have emailed Martin Lewis and had the usual auto reply.
  7. I like the Martin Lewis angle. He has so much clout at the moment and if a message is sent to him I am pretty sure he would take it up.
  8. Tongue in cheek, but not far off the truth until...... I have just read elsewhere that their included drinks has been expanded to include a few more cocktails. I cannot copy and paste but I hope someone who has current list can post.
  9. An adopted South Yorkshireman from Essex !
  10. Booked my 35 night Iona cruise in Jan 25.
  11. Many thanks Megabear. You rightly state this needs sorting Asap.
  12. Maybe. I wouldn't link different cruise lines performance, assuming they will all follow the trend. But what do I know !!?
  13. Why would NCL and RCI updates be relevant to Carnival shares ? Am I missing something ?
  14. So pleased aI fixed Sep 21 for 2 years. Paying £120 a month for 3 bedroom detached house. We are home all day and don't believe in being cold.
  15. I couldn't contain myself in that situation. She would have got both barrells.
  16. This is a disgraceful attitude from P&O. Those of us who frequent social media know the pitfalls and answer accordingly, there are many more who don't know of their draconian attitude, answer truthfully and fall into the pit. Come on sort this out.
  17. Sorry forgot the potatoes ! Put them in bottom of airfryer after belly pork has been cooking for 8 minutes.
  18. My own. Mix marinade. 1 inch thick strips of belly pork in marinade in fridge for an hour. Air fryer on 180c for 12 minutes, turn and another 12 minutes. Not too much honey otherwise it will burn.
  19. Air fryer arrived and used ! Easy meal to start, belly pork marinaded in honey, ginger and soya sauce with baby roast potatoes. Absolutely delicious, I'm a convert.
  20. P&O have not covered themselves with glory recently, but there are a few on here regularly beating the same drum saying they are not cruising with P&O again. Why are you still posting on this forum ? Are you trying to turn a few more away ?
  21. Being delivered tomorrow, looking forward to trying a new cooking method. I do the cooking, ex RN Officers Cook, left 48 years ago but you don't lose the skills.
  22. After reading many posts on Air Fryers, I decided to take the plunge. I didn't want to spend a lot and saw one on a shopping channel today. A German model N8Werk 5.5 ltr. Had a problem finding reviews but did on the German Amazon site and they were very good, so at £99 it seemed a good price. Time will tell. Congrats Kalos, nice one !
  23. Yes, I posted within seconds of the other one. I also asked for my thread to be removed. Okay ?
  24. Just read on F..... that Arvia's maiden has been cancelled, multiple posts confirming.
