Gone with another company for the conservatory - £9,500 instead of £10,029 for the same spec and work.

Conservatory: Gail made the telephone call yesterday to include facia and soffit PVC cappings as part of the conservatory installation. Initial quote was for £403 but she told Phil that other firms would charge just £300 extra. Threatened to go with another firm, he dropped his price to £10,050 complete. Gail tried for £10,000 straight and we settled for £10,029 which is exactly £300 more than original quote which is fair.

Therefore our conservatory will now cost £10,029 including facia and soffits.

Citroen C3 service indicator reset procedure:

Wednesday, September 10, 2008
Citroen Service Light Reset for saxo, xsara etc etc...

There's no great "trade secret" as to how to reset the service indicator lamp on most Peugeot / Citroen, simply refer to pages in the Owner's Handbook!

For reference of those interested in such matters, but who might not have access to an owner's manual, this is the procedure to follow:


1) Ensure "ignition" key is turned off.
2) Depress and hold the odometer reset button whilst turning the "ignition" switch to the on position.
3) Keep the odometer reset button depressed for 10 seconds whilst the service display counts down from 10 to 0. When the count down reaches zero the spanner icon will vanish from the display and the service indicator will be reset.

Note 1: When reset, the service indicator is actually reset to 9,500 miles. The mileage that the car accumulates henceforth is subtracted from 9,500 miles, until 9,500 miles have elapsed at which point the service indicator icon will reappear inorder to warn the driver that the next service is imminent. Any mileage accumulated beyond 10,000 miles since the last reset will be indicated with a minus sign displayed infront of the mileage to indicate by how much a service is overdue.

Note 2: To the best of my knowledge, the above service light reset procedure applicable to most Peugeot cars, most Citroen cars and most Fiat cars with the exception of the Fiat Stilo. (Also applicable to car derrived vans from the above ranges).

DSL:

Sunday 11/12/06
Returned from our holiday and we had received a letter from talk talk with a golive date of 01/12/06. I connected to our new broadband with no problems and the service appears to work OK.

Saturday 25/11/06
Still not online, I will have to wait until I return from my holidays on Sunday 10/12/06. I am assuming that the service will come online between Sunday 26/11/06 and Sunday 10/12/06 which means I will have been off-line for a total of 6 whole weeks.

Tuesday 21/11/06
Telephoned talk talk and spoke to another clerk in India. I asked him if he could tell me the go-live date for our broadband connection. He could only tell me that the order was forwarded on 16/11/06 and that we should be online within the next 5 or 6 working days. He could not give me a physical date. We have received another talk talk broadband start up pack through the post and the automated telephone service on 0870 0875 562 now gives us our username and passwords.

Thursday 16/11/06
Telephoned talk talk on 0870 444 1820 and spoke to a clerk in India. She told me that the line was clear but that the Carphone Warehouse had not done a DSL line request to BT. She put the request in there and then, telling me that we should receive a welcome letter containing a username/password and a go live date within 7 to 10 working days.

Tuesday 07/11/06
Received in the post a talk talk broadband start up pack. This contains an installation CD, ADSL modem, USB cable, telephone line cord, ethernet cable, power adaptor with plug and 1 ADSL filter. No username and password or a go-live date was given. The notes tell you to telephone 0870 0875 562 to retrieve the username and passwords. I tried this telephone number and the automated system claimed it did not recognise my telephone number. Therefore we are obviously not live yet. The installation CD requires you to enter a username and password, it also requires you to be on or past the go-live date to continue with installation. I will try the telephone number again each day and hopefully receive a welcome letter with the username and password plus the go-live date.

Saturday 04/11/06
Gail checked with BT, Orange Broadband was disconnected on Friday 03/11/06 and the telephone line is now free but there is a marker on the line. Told to tell talk talk to contact BT and manually remove the marker. Sent an email to the Carphone Warehouse telling them to proceed with this process and to telephone us at home to confirm progress.

Wednesday 01/11/06
Looked at this computer today to see how things are running. On start up modem flashes red, then goes to green - left light is a steady green and the right light is a flashing green. When I click on the Speedtouch modem icon it tells me that the port opens successfully but that there is an error no 0680 - There was no dial tone.
I rang BT to check how things were going and if there were any tags or markers on the line. They told me that things were being disconnected and that it should be all completed by Orange on Friday 03/11/06 at 17.00 - she said ring on Saturday to check status.

Monday 30/10/06
Gail telephoned BT and they confirmed that the Orange equipment was still installed on our line.

Sunday 29/10/06
Gail was unable to connect to the internet as username and password were not recognised.

Saturday 28/10/06
Telephoned Orange Broadband to request disconnetion. They were willing to disconnect with immediate effect but it would take their engineers up to 10 working days to remove their equipment from our exchange.

Thursday 26/10/06
Gail had a telephone call from the Carphone Warehouse. We apparently need to disconnect from Orange Broadband, check with BT that there are no tags or markers on our line and then email the Carphone Warehouse to arrange connection for talk talk broadband.

Roda and Acharavi - A different image. by Jerelis

Description:
The North of Corfu presents a different image of the island and is maybe the most beautiful part of it. The landscape is enchanting as it consists of a combination of rich green mountains and endless blue sea.

We witnessed that the inhabitants still cling to their traditions and Greek hospitality is still a reality here. The entire area is also important mainly for archaeological reasons due to a burial ground that was unearthed there and is still being researched.

Roda and Acharavi - Huge tourist resorts. by Jerelis

Description:
Two beautiful villages, Roda and Acharavi, stand near the coast, both with amazing sandy beaches and a high level of tourism. Roda is definitely the tourist centre of the area with an abundance of shops. It has grown from a quiet fishing village into the tourist resort it is today.

Besides all these tourists activity it is good to know that Doric temple dedicated to Apollo, dating from the 5th century BC, is located here. The finds from this historic site are displayed in the interesting Archaeological Museum in town.

Roda and Acharavi - Some excellent walking paths. by Jerelis

Description:
The fast growing resort of Acharavi is nestled between the long, sandy beach and the hills. It is a beautiful location in the foothills of Mount Pantokrator, Corfu?s highest peak standing at 914 meters.

It has something for everybody and is also very important for the locals as it has a post office, dentist and doctors.

We walked all the way over the long sandy beach from Roda to Acharavi and had a nice cold beer in one of the many tavernas. Do keep in mind that whenever you want to escape the tourist activities that there are some excellent walking paths set in the hills.

Myrtiotissa Beach may be worth a visit.

Guardian story from 2002 say's this about Acharavi ...

We stayed in Acharavi on the north coast, west of Roda. Until 10 years ago, it was almost entirely undeveloped, which is odd because it has five miles of accessible sand and shingle beach, good flat roads and a narrow plain to build on between the sea and the hills.

Acharavi has few ugly buildings, and none are more than three storeys high. But it sprawls like an American gold-rush town and, as you walk along the beach to get away from the sunloungers, you have barely escaped the outskirts of Acharavi before you find yourself in Roda or Almyros.

It isn't anywhere the Durrells would have recognised, nor is it an upmarket New Greece, rather a slightly better version of the old, low-budget Corfu. The Electric Blue café in the lane to the beach lists its attractions, in no particular order, as "real Yorkshire hospitality", "clean toilets" and "a full English breakfast". Quiz Night is on Wednesdays. There is also karaoke - the music crept by me upon the waters.

The tavernas on the beach sell pizzas and chicken curry but haven't yet forgotten how to cook traditional Greek dishes, and the service is as friendly as it always was in Greece.

You may want to talk to Andreas, the Albanian who puts out the sunloungers on the beach outside the Filorian apartments. He is a professional archaeologist but earns more fetching and carrying in Corfu than he ever could when teaching at Tirana University.

Acharavi
	The resort at ACHARAVI has all the immediate appeal of an M6 truck stop but appearances are deceptive. The actual village is tucked away from the main road and comprises a quiet crescent of traditional tavernas and cafes with a mostly shingle pebble beach that gently shelves into the sea. Doughnut and ice cream sellers frequent the beach but are not too intrusive. Sun loungers are cheap and plentiful. Walk 500 metres in any direction to find much better sand and a nudist beach towards Kassiopi. It is a clear favourite with families and couples and a great relief from the dishevelled mess that flanks the main highway. There are good restaurants here and shops selling olivewood carvings. A good waterpark is 10 minutes walk from the village and hotels offer free use of pools if you use the bar. Good place for a relaxing, low-key break.

Corfu Travel Guide gives...

Acharavi is a busy and lively resort set on the North coast of Corfu, boasting something for everyone. It is not just a resort, it is the main town for the North of the island and many of the local people visit Acharavi on a regular basis as there is a post office, banks, a dentist and doctors and all the facilities found in a modern town. You will also find shops such as hardware stores and flower shops. Acharavi has plenty of Tavernas and bars, and a good, long, sandy beach. Behind the resort, set in the hills are excellent walking paths. These have recently been cleared and are part of the Corfu trail. The shops in the main town are situated either side of the main road which runs through Acharavi. Little streets run off this road down to the beach where you will find many of the beach Tavernas and bars.

Who is the Resort for? Acharavi is a family resort offering everything from the sandy beach for young children and adults alike to the night life that teenagers require. The re-opening of the Corfu trail in the hills behind and above the resort has opened this resort up to walkers. The trail takes you through the shoreline and foothills of Acharavi. Lookout for the blue way markers. Acharavi was very popular with British holiday makers, but in recent years the British tour operators have receded. Some of the accommodation is now taken by Czechoslovakian and other independent operators. The Beach Type: A sandy beach that stretches the length of Acharavi - about 3 km! Sunbeds: There are sunbeds and umbrellas available for hire on the beach. Facilities: There are showers on the beach, and the Taverna owners will let you use there toilets if you purchase a drink. Child Suitability: Acharavi is a good beach for children, it is away from the road and the water is shallow. Afternoon sea breezes can make the water choppy though. Accessability: Being that Acharavi is mainly on the flat the beach is very accessible. There is just a slight incline from the main road to get to the beach down the side roads. Cleanlines and Urchins: Acharavi is a clean beach and well looked after. There are no urchins. Places of Interest Follow the road through Acharavi and on the way out you will see signs to the Roman baths. They are situated just the other side of the town. Also a Doric temple remains near Roda which is the next town along from Acharavi. This temple is said to have probably been built as a dedication to Apollo. Places Nearby Travelling West, Roda is a 10 minute drive and St Spiridon is a 5 min dive to the East. The Hydropolis water park is worth a visit if you have younger ones. (See Water Park Notes) How to get there by Car Follow the main coastal road from Kassiopi towards Acharavi. There are no turnings and this road is relatively wide compared to the roads around the Nissaki and Kalami area! Continue on this road past the Hydro Polis water park. Acharavi is the next town. Park on the side of the main road for shopping or turn to your right. down one of the many side streets that will take you to the beach. Limited parking is available next to the beach. Hydropolis Water Park If you are looking for a fun day out with children or maybe just as a couple, water parks are always a good choice in the warm summer weather in corfu. Here at Hydropolis you have a choice of fun water rides as well as sports facilities, such as tennis, beach volley ball, aquafit and water games. You can also learn how to scuba dive here. There is a small zoo with ducks, geese, ostriches, wild fowl, peacocks and rabbits. Children are made welcome and there are many child facilities, including a children’s pool and water slide. The water park has four giant slides: The Toboggan which is 102m long! The Double Multi Run, the Hydro Tube and the 'Free Fall' for those who like a bit of fear !!!!

Prices: Adults 13 Euro, Children (5-12 years) 10 Euro, Under 4’s Free. (Pices are for summer 2002) Transfers can be arranged. Call 26630 64700 for details. How to get to the Hydropolis water park: Follow the main coastal road from Corfu town through Ipsos into the North East of the island. The roads here are narrow and windy, mirrors are placed on the worst bends to help you. Pass Kassiopi, this is on your right, carry straight on following the signs to Acharavi. The roads start to widen and have less bends. As you near Acharavi you will see signs for the Hydropolis Water Park, there is plenty of warning. The water park is on your right the same side as the sea. Turn down through the main gates, follow the road down to a large car park at the bottom.

A recommended taverna in Acharavi...

Maistro - Acharavi I have visited this restaurant a few times and is definitely worthy of recognition. The menu is very comprehensive, plenty of choice and does a fantastic range of Snitzel.Comprises of traditional as well as a good choice of other continental type dishes. Every visit i have come away from there feeling very satisfied and full! The staff are very attentive and it is obvious from the numbers in there that it is a popular choice. It is located on the beautiful sandy beach at Acharavi. Watch the sunset go down from this beautifully located restaurant. It was recommended to me by a Greek - that is always good advice. To find it - as you drive through Acharavi from Kassiopi, you approach a roundabout. Just prior to the roundabout on your right is Eurohire car hire outlet, turn right into this lane and follow it down a few hundred yards. A small road branches off to the left which leads you to the car park at the rear of the restaurant.
