I would say the definition of getting fleeced is paying more for something that you could get cheaper elsewhere. We've already established that you can't get the direct LBA flight, 3 nights in hotels, transfers, an excursion, and match tickets for less than £1070 for 2. So thus, whilst I'm not debating it is expensive, I certainly am not "getting fleeced".

I haven't anywhere said, that you couldn't do the trip for cheaper. If I set off now I'm pretty sure I could walk it and sleep on the streets. That's not what I'm arguing against. I'm just saying, you shouldn't all be calling me "stupid" for paying a little bit more for the convenience and experience when as mentioned above, other than the amounts of money involved (which is all relative depending on what you have) it's no different to any of the things we all do daily.

Personally, I don't drink or smoke. So I'm sure I could call a lot of you "stupid" for "wasting" money on alcohol and cigs (both of which cost a fortune and have been scientifically proven to kill you). But I don't, because that's your personal choice and to you, it's not "wasted". Do I stand at the checkout and say... "You're getting fleeced on those cigs mate!"? No, because I'm a polite, understanding, tolerant, non-judgemental human being.

I have no doubts at all that it isn't the cheapest way of doing it, I just resent getting called "stupid" because I can afford/want to do it that way.

Perhaps one day you'll be as "stupid" as me, and you'll be able to afford a grand for a weekend away too.

In summary, you have more money than sense.

Tell that to the people (which I'm assuming includes you judging on your name) that spend hard earned money on something that you pi[iss[/i up against a wall and have no memory of the next day.

I do, often.

But c'mon, £595 for 3 nights B&B, flights and match transfers is an absoulte rip off.

Correction.... to you! Those nights are priceless TO YOU.

No doubt they wouldn't be as fun if somebody followed you round all night chirping in your ear how much money you were "wasting" and how "stupid" you were.

Quote: RhinoNeil "

Exactly, and fair play to you if it floats your boat. Surely you must concede that I'm right though?! To me (just me personally) that is a complete waste of money, to you, it's an enjoyable experience that's well worth the money. I'm not going to give you a hard time about it because it's something that you enjoy and I don't.

You can think I've got more money than sense all you like, at the end of the day you're basically just insulting and name calling someone for having a different opinion or attitude to you, and if that's the sort of person you're happy being then carry on Sir as you're doing a fine job.

I'm taking the missus to Paris on Boxing day for a couple of nights. Firstly I called into the travels agents I pass everyday on the way home from work. They offered me a £330pp ish package. When I got home that night I had a look on the tinterweb and managed to piece together pretty much the same break for just £164pp. The moral of the story is I could of taken the lazy foooker option and thrown money down the drain. Instead I used my noggin and have put together a damn good tailor made break for us for half the price....

The moral of the story is to read the thread carefully before contributing.

Quote: A Mão do Deus "Has anyone had their plans affected by the date change?'"


Although I have got a hotel booked in Perpignan for the Saturday night (which I assumed would be after the game), things might be working out for the better.

- I have found I can have virtually a full day on the beach / in the water in Spain and make it from the resort to Perpignan via public transport on Saturday evening.

- Being in Perpignan 'first thing' on Sunday morning means that I can get the very early connection for 'le Petit Train Jaune' up in to the mountains, spend the day up there and still be back in Perpignan in time for the game.

- Sounds like Lord Percy has got his usual driver sorted for the return trip back to Spain after the game and there's a space in the car for said journey.

Chance of another objective knocked off before the game .... Working out well !
