Off topic - something popular that you just

Also how ridiculous is the way we use road space? It's like everyone bringing their garden shed to a football match to sit in the stand in. And most people not even having other people in their garden shed to watch with them. All with their own individual sheds, taking up the room of 10 people just for one person.

It's the same level of sense as massive 5 person cars occupying a large percentage of the road space, occupied mainly by one person.

There is actually enough space for everyone if it was used efficiently.

But nooooo you've always been allowed to bring your garden shed to football matches so you won't let that change and create more space for 10x more to attend the match. So selfish you lot, honestly. With your sheds.

‘Buying’ a car on pcp finance. It’s not yours, it’s just rented and at 400 plus a month seems mental to me for something you won’t own at the end
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who wants to own a car? The quickest depreciating purchase you'll ever make.

I have mine as a business lease via salary sacrifice. Saves me paying higher band tax and at the end of the term I just upgrade to something else.

I don't have to worry about tax, insurance, MOT, servicing - not even tyres.

Best £600 a month I could possibly spend.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
£600 a month on a car?? Jeeez. Can I ask why you feel you need to spend that much per month on a car??
----------------------------------------------------------------------
600 a month,

Let's say it’s a 3 year term. That’s £21,600 for something you don’t own.
That would buy you a decent Porsche 911 (977). With a possible decent resale value. I know what I’d rather do. Take your pick of any used car for just over £20k, and I just don’t see the attraction of leasing. Sure, you have additional costs like insurance, mot, tyres etc, but I’d rather have the Porsche bought outright thank you very much.

Going on holiday and eating the same crap you can get back home. Just back from Portugal and my parents were cooking fries at the villa in the morning and ordering steak every time we went to the restaurant. They then bought steaks one night for dinner at the villa.

They got excited driving past Lidl despite never setting foot in it at home.

You’re on holiday, try new things you can’t back home!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That ain't the point of holiday really.
Would I go to Spain and eat facking squid all day?
No, I go to Spain to enjoy the facking weather, the people, the beautiful cities, being able from my home country.
Couldn't give a sheet about the food in all honesty. Can get Spanish food here if I really wanted it
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is for me. I want to experience the culture people are living in, including food etc. They ate steak every night as they wouldn’t try anything new. That’s the point of a holiday for me otherwise I’d stay at home. Try new things!
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The food is a massive part of any trip for sure. But then, if you are going to Spanish beaches for a holiday you have already lost sight of what travel is all about.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I really don’t know how many times I have to say I stayed in a villa in Portugal to make it mean I didn’t go to Spain.

We went to Portugal last October, and the seafood is great.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah was outstanding. Got a great wine with it which didn’t break the bank also.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We have the second best value wines in Europe after the Hungarians I reckon.

If you know what you’re shopping for, you can get a superb - I mean really superb - red for circa €12. And very drinkable stuff around €3-€4.

One of the best things about life in PT
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah I had several around the €20 mark in high end restaurants and they were outstanding.

Beer was ridiculously cheap also. Quite liked Continente also. Good choice and prices were decent. Went into a Spar as my parents were looking for stuff they get back home, specific tea etc. and the prices weren’t great. The one close to us had a bar built onto it where it looked like some locals spent their whole day at. I thought that’s my life when I retire
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Continente often has insane wine deals, and they have good buyers. (There’s cheap wine in Lidl and Aldi, too, but most of it is pish.)

The club (social/sports, rather than EDM!) in our village has 330ml bottles of Superbock for €1.20 a pop for members, which is going to slowly (rapidly?!) end up finishing my liver off.

Whereabouts were you staying? Hope you caught some decent weather. It’s been unusually stormy the last month or so.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Galé. Rented a car so could travel into Albufeira and things but staying outside the tourist crap, where people are drinking pints with a fry up at 9am.

Weather was great first two days and then some storms periodically but still decent weather in between. Last day was mostly stormy but we were fed up by that stage and wanted to go home.

I prefer lease. I can’t exactly stick my kids in the back of that Porsche and do a school run. Great if you’re a 65 year old retiree but not practical. Also you’re paying the same money for a twenty year old car with higher tax and insurance plus the inevitable thousands you’re gonna pay out on parts and mechanics considering it’s two decades old.

I certainly hope someone has mentioned Eurovision
