Default What to Pack?

Always thought it was "looky,looky"? confused: The BFS have plenty of English films, also most others have the sub-title option, which i prefer even at home. Don't know about you but i haven't a scooby about what's been said in half of half the films i watch these days

Were they also confused as to the location of their elbow?

We take loads of stuff! Clothes, shoes, first aid kit (I have 2 young daughters - eldest one managed to dislocate her thumb last time - obviously outside the scope of the first aid kit, but that's another story!), sun creams, mozzie repellent, books, various portable entertainment devices, various chargers and adaptors to keep said devices working, DVDs (for those wet days - came in handy May last year, unfortunately!), travel bed bumper for youngest daughter, booster seat for eldest daughter (v. light and saves a bit of cash!), nappies/wipes for the young one, various swimming aids and inflatables. And a new addition for this year, a light-weight four gang extension lead (Thanks for the tip Mark1875). No room for the kitchen sink, fingers crossed that the villa has one.

Quite right Sparky but they can be a little dodgy, if you know what I mean.

You can buy popcorn here in the supermarkets, so if in doubt don't bring. You can get both microwave and saucepan type.
