Charges made for paying by debit/credit card
On the 30 March 2011 Which? issued a surcharge super complaint to the Office of Fair Trading over the fees retailers charge consumers for paying by credit or debit card. Low cost airlines are among the worst offenders. They asked for upfront costs, fair charges and for retailers to absorb the cost of the fee to process a debit card payment.

Have just seen this post - I noticed when checking the Ryanair website yesterday for some flights that they are also now charging delay/cancel levy of £2!!!! Yet more fees added to the final price....
I agree - and if you are taking luggage with Ryanair they charge ridiculous amounts. Beware with hand luggage too as they check this now - we travelled the other week and one of ours was a little too wide to fit in the baggage checker but they wouldnt let us swap anything over to the other cases even though 2 of them were half empty....they wouldnt even let us move the clothes around as there was room at the top of the bag (one of the kids had packed it herself and packed it wide rather than spreading it around and we didnt notice)....cost us €35 to check it in - i try not to fly with them now if i can help it.
Fratellis
We had a lovely meal at Fratellis Italian on the square in Benijofar last night. Set menu for around €12 which was starter, main and dessert plus coffee and a drink. Was very busy and nice atmosphere. Would recommend.

cost of beer and cigs
Hi could anyone give me a rough idea as to how much a pint of beer and 20 cigs would cost in almoradi??? is it still much cheaper than England?
Hi there,
The general cost of living in my opinion is still cheaper than the UK. In terms of the two things you mention, cigarettes are on average 3-4 euros a pack and a pint you can pay anything from 1.50 -2.50 euros. The biggest difference is Council tax, which is on average 5-6 times lower than the UK. Hope this gives you a little insight in some of the costs.

902 premium telephone numbers
Are you like me thinking 902 Telephone numbers were free, well they are not, in fact they are premium numbers costing a lot. To avoid this trap read the following:
If you have ADSL and a Telephone line, the normal calls are free, 91, 92, 93, etc! 902 are not.
If you have to call one of these numbers look at this web site first…..
nomasnumeros900.com
For example, you want to find the normal telephone number for Correos.
1. Go to nomasnumeros900.com
2. type in the window the 902 telephone number, 902 197 197
3. Press “Buscar” (Search)
4. It then lists the results, a bit like google, choose one, click on it.
5. This opens another page, the page could be quite big, so use the search option in your browser, on a Mac it’s CMD and F, type in the no. again.
6. 913 8733 314 and Bobs your uncle! And it works for FREE!
Hope this helps adjust the euro rate a little bit.
I have pledged my support to this also - the charges made by some of the airlines are ridiculous and something should be done about it. There is no way that the charges they make are what they pay to the credit card companies, its just another way of making more money and make cheap flights become expensive.
