Great year on the markets in 2017 allowed me to quit the day job, move house to North Wales and become a full time investor ..... whilst enjoying life in a beautiful part of the world. 😀 Now keen to share knowledge .....and to meet other share investors living in this area.

Can you believe this? My daughter booked an @easyJetholidays EH by doing an inital search on Skyscanner. 2A 1 Inf. Then contacted hotel direct to make arrangements for baby - all good. Got conf from EH - baby not mentioned but she does not have seat on flight anyway.

Now she cannot check in baby because it seems her details were never passed through from Skyscanner. You must be thinking - no problem - just add her to the booking? Oh nooo - EH say they have to cancel and lose all their money!! WTF?

Imagine you are the political leader of a country and considering ways you could LOSE votes. What would you do? Devise a policy that most voters were not in favour of Establish there was no sound data to substantiate the policy Ensure it would make people's lives more difficult

Find a policy that costs £30M+ to implement Meanwehile, tell Councils they need to cut budgets (services) to people. Ignore allocating this money to the NHS to save lives Create thousands of signs that might say ‘20’ but are actually saying ‘vote for a change of government’

Once implemented: Ignore the people’s petition asking for a reversal of the policy. Penalise people for doing the same thing they had done safely for years. Welcome to #20mphwales #owngoal #shameful

Not content with splashing out £40million on blanket 20mph speed limits … Labour ministers in the Senedd are now spending £120million on 36 more politicians 🤦‍♂️ They are out of touch.

I feel compelled to write about the 20mph speed limit introduced in Wales. I am in favour of 20mph limits around hospitals, schools and town centres. But I am not in favour of the blanket reduction from 30mph to 20mph across most roads in Wales. #20mph #20mphwales

I think most people will agree it here is a world of difference between driving in busy cities such as Cardiff where there are lots of moving vehicles and people, compared with Welsh rural town and villages. It is much easier to spot someone moving when a street is deserted.

My sense is that very few if any lives will be saved specifically because of the 20mph policy.

Replying to @RAC_Care
@RAC_Care daughter has puncture in Liverpool. 6 week baby in car. Been waiting 2 hours already. Only 1 nappy left now. URGENT HELP needed NOW.

She has now got a taxi home. This is SO poor from what I thought was a reputable organisation. Goodness if it was a normal person rather than a woman with a 6 week old baby - how long would they have to wait?
