I was hoping they'd let Greece default and have great joy in watching the Eurozone spiral into oblivion. I'd have been looking at chalets, let alone beans and milk!

Is that the Velcro strap at the top?

As part of my therapy I like to look at the webcams (as I'm sure 99% of the rest of you do)

Why can I see grassy patches in the bellow cam, after an apparent 2 meters of snow falling over the last 3 weeks?

Cash Machine Exchange Rate

Doesn't it depend on your provider? I'm pretty sure I heard they were doing away with exchange charges when you use your card abroad, but won't come in for another year or so.

Nationwide usually have a good deal on withdrawing money abroad.

1st of Feb for me...

I got my kit out last weekend (for want of a better phrase). Pointless, it's just cluttering up the bedroom now.
Too Much Snow In Europe?
Started by User in Ski News, 12 Replies
Yes it was, but far too many people were impatient and predicted doom and gloom. Now look at it!!!!


Agreed. Apparently it was a pretty bad year for snow where I went last year, and I was more than happy. In fact it was the best ski holiday we've had. They've had more snow in the last two weeks than the entire season last year, so to say I'm excited about going back is some what of an understatement! 21 more sleeps.

Funny isnt it.
A few short weeks ago people on here were panicking, saying it was the worst start to a season in years, doing dances to convince themselves it would help.


To be fair, it was the worst start to a season for some time.
