    Northern Spain Christmas / New Year

    Will do. We use your French POIs all the time .... I was a full member a few years ago and thought I had set up a DD, but obviously not as I couldn't update them recently!!

    Has anyone done Prague for New Year?

    We always head off on Boxing Day for about 10-12 days .... usually around the UK, but we did Andorra last year and were a bit disappointed (yes, I know it's a skiing place!!!!!) that there was not much to do/look at and it seemed to be about tax free shopping. There was no celebration on New...

    Can you light a fridge externally??

    Thanks again to all the respondants. I'm away now for just a few days - I'll have to rough it with a polystyrene box with a couple of freezer blocks in it. Next week (next year!) I'll run a new wire, and if that doesn't show any favourable signs, I'll get a piezo for it. Thanks again :-) Happy...

Nothing loose/frayed. Big green 240v switch lights up...
