I have had great success with my Tom Tom world, driving, walking and even on ski slopes. I have had it for years and apart from a battery replacemnt ( DIY) its been fine. Use it a couple of times a year in Europe and the US and have never updated the maps. Also very handy in AUS as the blue...

Thanks for the quick reply JB. Of course safety should be the main issue but seems to be forgotten by both sides. The argument is full of emotion with little understanding by both sides of each other's position. Cheers (and not to many of those 15 hour days ).

Hi JB, I notice in an earlier post you said that if there is an ILS it will always be tuned for landing. On the Gold Coast there is a lot of discussion about a new ILS system and the resulting noise interference over residential areas currently free from aircraft on final (basically the main...

Amex have announced a flat rate of 1.09% on merchant transactions up to an annual volume of $500,000 with the condition that the merchant agrees not to differentially surcharge across all credit cards !

As I understand the consumer law the customer must be fully aware of any credit card charges before entering into an agreement or contract to purchase and must be made aware of the total cost. (Eg Service Stations must display any card surcharge on the pump ) The comfort/convenience is purely...

Flying United !

Haven't a crystal ball so don't know about investment value but it seems to me a bit like owning a boat - it's better to have friends that have one !

We have a simple retirement - we haven't. !!! Just take more holidays whilst we still can, fortunately we are healthy and pay managers to run our business whilst we are away. We still enjoy the lifestyle we want and receive a better income (and many more points ) than we could through any...

Recently booked a RTW ticket from an online (Aust) agent at an excellent price. Very professional. If you PM I will give you their details.

I have had similar situations when using IPad or I phone and found that it is better to use my computer. It seems to me that the iPad and phone apps offer reduced access. My last booking is a RTW ticket revenue in J and the best ticket was available through Round the World travel via the web...
