Quote from: harribobsmodesty on the beach............
Sure shows what too much sun does to the skin

Can't really add much more than whats been said and shown on here.Only that we know 2 of the guys that are working there and they told us it could be 2 to 3 years before this is finished.Quote from: GeorgeThe road looks a bit of a mess Chris, is it still walkable and are they still working on it during the summer??

it's just very dirty around the site area and the tarmac is suffering badly near to the selia turn off but it's perfectly useable
i think i should let Denis and Chris describe the work thats going on
Quote from: GeorgeI thought if anywhere it might be on the road where they've built all the new blocks, just a bit further on from Nicos, behind the campsite. I walked up there last year and there are a few posh little hotels and apts up there.

No - they are quite close to town not far from the secret tavern. I saw them when I went to see the aretousa apartments (Kosmar) with a friend who was staying there . I'm sure they were on the same road. I was taken to them especially to see the name plate because my friend had the same warped sense of humour as I have.The name (naughty me) amused me and I took a photo of their name plate. It is fairly close to town, modern and look to be more than ok. Ali will know exactly where they are.

You are finding things in your case like cats also.Do not think much of packing everything in your suitcase.They have not increase the baggage allowance to take into account the items you pack normally in holdall. Only allowed 20kg with Excel.Quote from: Denis and Chris
But as Dennis told us in May Saga Louts, Skeelos Club and members of the growing old disgracefully group will get priority seating.
Do we get placed on the top table if a member of all 3 groups !!!!
(Just thrown one of our cats out of a suitcase !!)

Well we will not be going for a barbeque then!! Next door at Medousa is a much better option for a scrumptious meal we would recommend this taverna for a great night out. Look out Babis here we come with Dotty & Gary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! see you soon x x x
We'll see you there too - Wednesday evening - Medousa - large numbers of fellow Saga Louts converging on Plakias at the same time. Some of their spies already there . Livicon bar fully booked. :'(

Thanks for this advice Mike I will pass it on to my friend.Quote from: Denis and ChrisQuote from: Denis and ChrisMy friend has now been told by her insurance company who is Nat West that she cannot claim for the battery charges that had been put into the suitcase.Quote from: harribobsi hope they get the luggage problem sorted outOur friends have just come back from Eygpt on the return flight on the plane that had to land in Italy.On arriving home they have found that 3 battery charges that had been put into suitcases have gone missing. One for game boy the other two for mobile phones.
"Meanwhile, some reports suggest as many as 20,000 passenger bags may have been displaced at Heathrow since Thursday.
BA, which said the bulk of misplaced luggage would have belonged to its passengers, said it was still trying to get 5,000 bags to their owners by road or air. "
They also said it was absolute carnage at Gatwick with a lot of other suitcases just lying all over the place broken and ripped.They had to wait one and half hours for the cases to be put onto carousels.Nobody seem very bothered about getting things sorted out.
So be aware of what you are packing and what you are covered for if anything.!!
Chris (Harribobs) referring back to your picture on how we should travel, this may be not be so far off!!
You do not say why your friend's claim has been declined. If it is because packing the items in the hold baggage was in breach of a policy condition, I suggest:
Write to the insurer;
Put "COMPLAINT" at the top of the letter.
Make sure the policy number is quoted in the heading;
Write the first sentence as "Please accept this letter as a formal complaint within the meaning of the regulation of your firm by the Financial Services Authority and the requirements of the Financial Ombudsman.";
Then quote their declining language and state that in the circumstances of the heightened security requirements, the policy condition is unreasonable and they should not rely upon it and you look forward to settlement of your claim;
Keep a copy of the letter.
The FSA rules require all complaints to be entered into a register, acknowledged quickly and resolved in a period (I think it is eight weeks). Failures can result in heavy fines.
The resolution may be that they maintain the declinature, but then the complaint can be taken to the Financial Ombudsman. A complaint form can be downloaded, or completed online at
www.financial_ombudsman.org.uk/consumer/form/complaint_form.doc
For fairly minor claims, the insurer will normally find it easier to make an offer to close the complaint than go through all the regulatory hoops and then deal with an ombudsman office which has a reputation for trying to find every reason to support a consumer against a commercial entity.
Two years ago, we were about to be called for a flight from Norita (Tokyo) to Brisbane when my wife found the diamond from a ring had fallen out. This could have happened anywhere from Heathrow, where she saw the stone when putting the ring between her teeth before washing her hands, and the Norita departure lounge. The repair cost was £350, the policy excess being £100.
The insurer said I was in breach of the condition that all losses must be reportrd to the police.
I sent such a letter saying to report the loss we would have had to return airside, lose our APEX tickets, book into a hotel and pay for regular replacement tickets, all of which would far exceed the loss. The condition is obviously intended to deter fraud, but I was not looking for a cash settlement, only a repair.
Within two weeks they sent me a cheque for £350, not even deducting the excess!
