ShepherdSpy Personally,I wouldn't be that spontaneous about going into a place that I'd see on the roadside in passing,and particularly if I was on the way somewhere else! Maybe if I was on a long road trip somewhere I'd chance it..

Shops in England

elitess @elitess (5070) • Ipswich, England 1 May 13

I only visited England back in 2009 when I learnt from my sister in law that a very good (and cheap) shop there is Tesco (especially when adding the cash back in points for the special card they offer to people living in the UK)....

Airline Miles

bostonphil @bostonphil (4459) • United States 2 May 13

I have some airline miles that I may not be able to use. I know that there are some third party brokers who buy or trade these miles. Can anyone recommend one of these sites or warn me about any of these sites.

ShepherdSpy Some people were buying paper airmile vouchers on Ebay in the past..You don't mention the format,I don't think this is an option you may have if your points are electronic credits.

ShepherdSpy Would things at breakfast time be so regimented with staff doing everything that they couldn't put out a Jug or a Juice dispenser for those who wanted things in a hurry or would prefer the independence of getting their own Juice?

Do you bother to look deeper into movies for meaning?

Aja103654 @Aja103654 (5646) • Philippines 26 Mar 13

Watching movies is a good way to enjoy our free time. However, movies are taken for granted sometimes. We get too distracted by all the special effects and actions that we often fail to see the message of the film. It is also...
