Like I say we were lucky that our in laws are working class scum so they could afford to take us, as at the time we wouldn't have been able to afford it. Actually I doubt we would now with one little one and one on the way.

I'm planning on holidaying later in the year and I think I'll have a butchers at an all inclusive. I don't really drink though, so I can't help thinking I'd save money avoiding all inclusive, anyone know?

I drink very rarely, but you'll defiantly get your monies worth, if the foods nice you can try everything.

On an all inclusive is it literally you can eat and drink whatever and whenever you want or are there 'rules'?

I think the only rules to all inc holiday, are no alcohol for under 16's that was a rule for the place I stayed while in Greece. |

Depends on where you go Sippo. Obviously the more you pay the less restrictions there are. The Rui Palace had spirits in the room, free minibar, stocked up twice a day (if needed). One bar was open til 12, another one later. Champagne included - with breakfast if wanted. No restrictions on local/imported produce.
Other resorts (like the one we went to in Hurghada, Egypt, will only supply local spirits as all inclusive, so JD, Smirnoff wouldn't be included. And some charge more for certain restaurants.

At our in all in Mexico, we had 5 restaurants to choose from and one buffet style. Food was superb as was the drink at the pool side bar, and the choice of spirits in our room was great, if you're into that kind of thing.
We had similar in Cuba. One main buffet style restaurant with 4 or 5 a la carte. On an all inclusive is it literally you can eat and drink whatever and whenever you want or are there 'rules'?
Ours was pretty much whatever and whenever. There was a 24hr snack bar that served food & drink. |

And us peasant class chavs don't mind spending a little extra by going out for a few meals off resort site to sample the local hospitality. ;-)
Would have no problem in going back there anytime!

I can't get irn-bru out here. Not seen it in years
Is it still in production? Or have they run out of girders?

It was 10 years ago but I went to Blackpool on my stag weekend. We went to a lapdance club that had Iron Bru on tap. Classy.

If you dress those holidays up as some kind of Arab spring pilgrimage you might just get away with it!! Irn bru's still available, and still out selling Coca-cola, well north of the border, so I'm led to believe. |
