Advice On How To Do Paris Without Paying Over The Odds Too Much!!

I am going to Paris for 4 days on the 19th of Feb with my better half. I accept that in citys such as this you pay more than I would in sunny Burnley for things. However I refuse to be ripped off and As I have often been called a "tight bastard" from friends and family etc I would like advice on places to go i.e. bars, restaurants and attractions where I will not get "fat laded" too much. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.


Cheers.

RE: Travellers Cheques - How do they work?

Last time I went to NY smaller stores would not take the travellers cheques even with my passport. My advice would also be small amount of cash and use your card to withdraw cash. Wrap up too as it will be a bit chilly.

RE: Best Loans?

try these http://www.northernrock.co.uk/html/ploans/personal_loans.htm. They have loans at 6%. Just a word of warning the default is set to include payment protection so if you do not want it take it off.

RE: Help and Advice Needed Please

Thanks for the advice. I have let a local PC firm take a look at it. They will inform me of cost before any repair is carried out. The problem I have is I need it for work and as I am self employed i am losing money every day it is out of action. The local firm should get back to me today. He seemed to think that it would "only be a bulb" so it should not be too expensive. I will let you know.


Thanks.

Help and Advice Needed Please

I got a Toshiba laptop from dixon`s on 09/11/01 for £1000. The model is 3000-x4. The screen has failed and has stopped lighting up. I spoke to Toshiba who said my warrenty ran out in July 03 they gave me a number of a company who repairs laptops who wanted the best part of £500 to repair it. Spoke to dixons and they said "if you would have paid for the extended warrenty it would be covered". I need the laptop to for work. Any ideas?

RE: Whose the most famous person you have seen??????????

Talked to Gloria Estafan (is that how to spell it) on Miami beach in 1999. She was very nice. Also chris waddle, chris woods and glen roder used to get p***ed every night in my local boozer when waddle was the manager of burnley. They were were tossers.

Do you think I am tight?

I have been looking at holidays today. My girlfirend saw a top looking place in Zakynthos a 4 star new complex on the beach in what looks like a quite resort. That "quiet" suits me now as my young nipper would be comming along who is 3 months. The price was £802 for two weeks all in (self catering). I told the missus no as it was too dear, she said I was just a tight bas*ard and that it was cheap. What do you think? Is it true am I tight?
First two weeks in sept if it matters.

Thanks
