To Bilbao Or Not To Bilbao, Means Of Transport Is The Question.
This time of year Spain becomes a Mecca for British tourists trying to flee the country and get a tan, and whilst some football fans are currently postponing their holiday until after the world cup finishes, now is an ideal time to get away.
Bilbao in the Northern region of the country is the political capital of the nationalistic Basque people who inhabit Spain’s three northern Euskadi provinces. While not being a traditionally beautiful city, its main strength is that it...
Mobile Phone Theft Increasing Across The UK
According to the latest research from Halifax Home Insurance claims, £390 million a year is lost in Britain due to the theft of mobile phones. With the average handset costing more than £100, it is perhaps not surprising that there are more than 2 million stolen in the UK every year.
This level of phone theft accounts for one in ten crimes in London alone, and equates to one theft across the country every 12 seconds, with an average insurance claim of £300 per stolen hands...
Blue Skies For Extreme Sports
Ample leisure time allows for a raft of thrilling experiences inducing different degrees of adrenaline rush from balloon rides to freefall parachuting.
Unpredictable UK weather conditions can be a bit of a stumbling block but add a small slice of sun to the equation and the whole extreme sports arena suddenly opens up to encompass many more attractive propositions. A hot air balloon at dawn across the Arizona desert holds a much broader appeal than, say, one over the flats...
Doorstep Lenders Receiving Unwanted Interest
Unwanted interest has come from sources including industry regulator, the Competition Commission (CC), following an Office of Fair Trading (OFT) investigation which was in turn sparked by a super-complaint lodged by the National Consumer Council (NCC).
Doorstep loans offer small short-term loans to people who are on low incomes or without access to bank accounts, with repayments being collected weekly or fortnightly by collectors who directly call at the customer's homes.

Payday Loans Could Cushion Savings Fall
Consumers in this country saved an average of £495 each over the first three months of this year, the research found – a far cry from the £680 which was being typically hoarded in the final quarter of 2005, perhaps influenced in part by the onset of the inevitably costly festive season.
Men have fared somewhat better so far this year when it comes to being disciplined and stocking up for the future – saving £594 on average in comparison with women's relatively paltry £403....
Gift Ideas For Father's Day, 18 June 2006
Dads, and in fact men in general, are notoriously difficult to buy for. And Father's Day is a tricky one – it's not as personal as a birthday, but you can't really ignore your dad on the day when every other father in the land is getting a new tie. The secret of a good Father's Day gift lies in thoughtfulness. You may not feel comfortable telling your dad that you love him, or that you are grateful for all that he does for you, but you can express a great deal with a hand-mad...
Turn Marathon Misery Into Triathlon Success
Now the dust has - just - settled on the streets of the London Marathon let's spare a thought for all those non-runners. Even before the race start, competition was keen with over 50,000 disappointed applicants unable to take part and the situation is no different across all the World Marathon Majors.
But if you're still serious about testing your body to its limits, a triathlon event can be an interesting and much more accessible option with less pressure on places. The t...
Debit Card Stats Outline Payday Loan Flexibility
Research from Apacs released earlier this week provided the news that debit card purchases have, for the first time in history, outstripped cash spending in terms of the amount of money splashed out – underlining the flexibility which people today appreciate when it comes to making everyday buys.
The figures showed that in 2005 people spent some £89 billion using debit cards, which was a significant increase of nine per cent on the previous year's amount and eclipsed the c...
With Credit Cards Hitting Hardest, UK Consumers Tax Themselves With Penalty Charges On Personal Finance Options
A rise in costs for users of any financial service usually results in public outcry, why is it then that so many of those same consumers allow penalty fees and charges to accrue on their credit cards, when the problem could so easily be avoided?
The financial groups Defaqto and MoneyExpert have released a report in which the startling figure that one in five consumers have had to pay just such a charge, and while credit cards were the worst offender, a number of different ...
