After my success answering Annec's question, its my turn. However, I’m not clever enough for an ‘½ûÂþÌìÌÃ’ question – so I’ll go for one with a ‘Greek’ connection insteadI’m a ‘sad’ man who likes numbers.

Answer to: Electric adaptor
Tue, 09/22/2009 - 04:54

You can get 'travel adaptors' in plenty of shops in the UK, including at airports and ferry ports. However, they are only rated at about 3.5 to 7 amps [depending on type] so you can't use them for stuff like kettles and some high tech UK hair dryers.  The plugs also can warm up quite a lot when in useI keep a couple of adaptors  for travelling to/from my holiday place in italy - but as a permanent solution I have a couple of UK '4-way' extension leads at the house, that I have cut the UK plug off of, and fitted an ½ûÂþÌìÌà one instead.

For me - the 'New Activity' button does not pick up all new and amended posts - but the 'mark all as read' button does 'knock them all out' - including those not recognised by the New Activity button posts So I have to check  carefully to see what I would be missing by hitting the 'Mark all ...' button

If you log on to the Accor website  -    You get a great range of hotels, from  below Formula 1 up to higher than Mercure, and a pretty good interactive map to sort out your options

The second link in my original posting - the link that referred to an overnight stop in Belguim should have been   ,        [which refers to Castel les Sorbieres, not a repeat of the Nancy hotel - ]l As to cost - the benefit of the Formula 1 chain is cheap and cheerful - however, as I like to make the journey a part of the holiday, [and not a mad dash to/from the channel], I prefer to pay the extra and get a good hotel with good food  [both the stops I quote above easily do that]

"As Adriatica says, pop it in the freezer (it won't freeze) "  Careful - if its a commercial limoncello, the alcoholic content probably won't be high enough to prevent freezing

"....but where do you get the litre of 90 percent proof alcohol? I don't see it on the shelves of the local shops" Try the larger supermarkets - thats where we got ours
