I understood this new discount was only till the end of april then the full price would apply again .we shall see !!

Senor,
I don't think so, will go in tomorrow ( probably to watch the Blues v Reds ) so will tell Jose that people are expecting these prices all season . That's what he told me last week.
Snowy,
Will do , Elton has agreed to do another show at the Vic this summer on the clear understanding that the money goes towards new players . Maybe Kaka will be in a Hornets shirt next season !!!!
Smiddy,
Phew, Thought I'd be definitely in the " sin bin " for the last post. Don't worry have forgiven all you Scots for bringing the English economy down, can you let us have a bit more oil at reduced prices as your so darned hot up there !!!!

Im of the understanding that some people get a 30% discount card all year round.
Pretty poor show IMO if correct.

All this talk of discounts remind me of a funny episode a couple of years ago, long before Corrie and your neighbour virtualy sitting on your lap. Friends of ours went every year and there used to be quite a crowd of them gathered round, chatting and enjoying the square every night. On their last night we joined them and Jose came across and announced that his boss had offered them free drinks for the evening as a thank you for being such good (profitable) customers. Thank you, kind sir, said the assembled multitude! Everybody had a splendid evening. The following night my friend asked me for about 20 euros to contribute to the the "kitty", this i duly gave him. It transpired that Jose's boss had only authorised 1 ROUND, poor Jose was in a terrible state scouring the Port looking for us all.

Rab,
Yes, he did last year for folks that frequented Bonys for most of the year. Of course, differential pricing is always wrong but it happens all over the place here. The guy is a business man like most providors here and they have to make their money during the season.
However, the price reductions to 2007 levels will apply to all. Be assured the local folk will not get discounts below this during the coming season.
Will probably pop in for the footy later in his new bar so will emphasise the point to him ( & check there are no tacky signs up !!!! ).

You mean different pricing like the other bar across the square that charges lower prices for locals.

You quite often find that sitting at the bar gets you cheaper prices, i.e. no table service.

Not true mate,*If you were to watch them operating they use the old yellow " Postit" system when you order and one per table is left on the bar until paid. Have never in all my years here seen these franked with a "F" for foreigner or "T" for tourist. Simply ain't true.*This pricing thing ( i.e. Bonys last year ) isn't a local versus tourist point, it's about frequency of use and happens all over where regulars get little perks.*Meself, I'm dying to get me hands on a Tesco Loyalty Card but alas not in the UK long enough now !!!!!BonysLad *

Strange that because someone on here in the past and a regular did state that different charges did happen. Just shows you should'nt believe everything you read mate and your right would be strange to write F or T on a post it note

Rab, It's not about "Ripping Off" anyone, as BL said it's no different to having a "loyalty card". It goes on everywhere, even in the UK mate.

This seems to be getting a bit "Tacky" "mate"!!
Lets all enjoy our love of these establishments, what else would we have to talk about!!
Roll on to when I can see and have a good banter with Jose again - and choose whether I want to drink there or not.
Holidays are not all about "price", like "dress code" its up to your personal experience.
Jose may reward his regulars with a free drink (whats the difference between this and a reduced price!!)
Restaurants give complimentary drinks etc. If you are a regular you deserve spacial treatment whether it be food or drink or service, as long as the service for all is acceptable.
Constructive comments/news always welcome to read.

the 'footie' room ?
Hiya,
I got the impression that the 'paper shop' was now gonna be the sports room.... and yup, as I passed today, I saw a wide screen, showing sport. The room was empty as far as I could see, but there still was a screen outside also showing sport. I thought the idea was to 'take it' outa the mainstream and dedicate an area. I just dont get footie... but there are loads who do... and it did sound like a good solution. But it looks like the screen in the street is set to continue.
