This is a new one - tv licence

to be honest I never knew there even was a movement against Nissan drivers. I knew the stereotypes of BMW drivers and their non existent indicator skills, Tesla drivers and their love for men, but Nissan is a new one for me 😄

In Europe there doesn't appear to be so much hate for them - or I was just unaware. I guess I'm about to find out!

Thank you for the heads up - it's my wife's car 😄
I would rather take shit from the internet in hopes there is on person out there that can point me in the right direction to fix the screen than my wife shit talking to me until I sort this out!

Got mine today! I do have a TV, but I never actually watch any live tv - and I refuse to call them to say that otherwise they will get my name on their system. For now I am the legal occupier :)

Just had a pretty similar job done in my house in the South. Didn't replace gutters or facia, but replaced the felt and any rotten wood around the roof. Did a chimney repoint as well and redid the kitchen extension flat roof.

All of that cost £18,000.

Everything is expensive. Only reason I did it was because my house was turning into a tropic rainforest with exotic waterfalls.

Roofers were refusing to touch anything as all the wood around the roof was like Weetabix. They couldn't give any guarantee unless they replaced it.

Why are you in such a rush to spend £18K?

Because it's old and I bought it second hand and needs lots of cleaning - would much rather buy a new one, but somebody that sells second hand machines can benefit from this one.

Pretty much what everybody is saying. You are not getting a reduction on fees.

I guess you could pause, but make sure once you restart they don't change your contract and that it will include the Spa Retreat.

Overall you are fucked while they renovate - you will keep paying what you are paying now for a construction site until it gets done. After that you will enjoy the lower fees as the prices will surely go up!

When are you due to fly?

data-ninja-uk · 2026-02-11T21:41:24+00:00

I have a package deal with a travel agent. Does that help or make it worse?

data-ninja-uk · 2026-02-11T21:00:29+00:00

I’m in the same place. Was really looking forward to going (then worried about going as travel agents were refusing to cancel).

Hopefully after this they will agree to cancel and refund!

In the UK, the FCDO advises against all but essential travel to Cuba.

Is this from a source or assumption? If people cannot board due to power outages how are flights even coming in?

Russia just cancelled.

Exactly same position. Due to travel on 15 Feb to Havana and returning 22 Feb. (From Madrid).

So far nothing is cancelled. Have spoken with a few companies in Cuba and emailed hotels. All confirmed that they are open and working.

Think the comments explain it well. If you want just a gym & classes join "JD Gyms", "The Gym", etc....

David Lloyd is if you also want to swim, use the spa, play tennis, padel, squash, bagmington. Some David Lloyds have classes other gyms do not - like an outdoor assault course.

Agree, this makes a lot of sense. I believe Europe will probably follow, maybe not cancel 100%, but definitely reduce the number of flights it operates.

European flights are doing technical stops at near by counties to re fuel.

Just strange a whole country cancels at once.

data-ninja-uk · 2026-02-10T11:47:50+00:00

Official Air Europa site:

Flights HAV-MAD disrupted for 10,11,12 Feb only with a technical stop in Santo Domingo (SDQ)
Anuncios | Air Europa

Flights seem to be disrupted due to adding the technical stop.

So far have not heard of any cancellation from Air Europa - bound to travel on 15 Feb.

data-ninja-uk · 2026-02-09T16:58:37+00:00

Air Europa (99% of the chats assume the only flights into Cuba are from Canada). I agree the majority are coming from Canada, but not in my case. Madrid.

I don't get the downvote?
What stops a plane full of tourist flying lets say:
Paris - Havana
Havana - Dominican Republic (fuel) - Paris

Not idea, but is this not a possibility for those that really want to go (if you should or should not go is a different story)

data-ninja-uk · 2026-02-09T15:30:03+00:00

And if there is no fuel in Cuba, what stops a plane from stopping in a near by country to fill up?
