Does anyone know for certain if Gatwick has a 24 hour pub - don't want a repeat of Milan airport last month when we had to spend the nite their & no open bars or alcohol available anywhere until 6am!!!
dont think it is, the oneills one in there closes around 11 I think. not even sure there is one in heathrow but would assume so.Quote:

anyone staying at Hotel Maxim? had to book an extra night as my dad is coming now too and he didn't fancy pulling an all-nighter before the horrendous 06.45 flight back on sunday. sveta's prices had gone up massively for the saturday night!! don't they know we found out how bad it is??
How many days does it take the banks to get in the lev after you order it? How much would people recommend to bring?

The airport has an ATM so no need to worry really when you get to Sofia .

Whatever yez do, dont be relying on the bereau de change at Sofia airport as its suppose to be the worst exchange possible.
Not sure when they changed Paul.......the last couple of times I've gone from Gatwick I've used the LoungesQuote:

The rate was 1.83 Lev to €1 in credit union
In the banks it was was 1.75.
Took credit union week to get Lev in, ring your local credit union and order it today , if your not in credit union just ring and quote a family or friend name that is a member in your local credit union , thats what we did
im in gatwick at 21.25, so i will only get about a hour at the bar!! some balls, next flight is at 06.30, gates prob open at 4 so i will need an offy!!
is it a cause of bringing a few cans or what?

good man galah, get tanked up there isn't much seats in gatwick terminal in fairness, so get into wetherspoons and just lap on their couches if you can get away with it!
There is a Wetherspoons is the south terminal but no O' Neills anymore. I havent been in the North terminal in an awful long time, so I cant comment on that.Quote:

I know a little off topic but jesus that is one thing I hate about the UK is the idea of pub chains. O Neils and wetherspoons and the like. Horrible horrible places.Quote:

But your point is correct, these places are crap and close around 11.30 and have no atmosphere what so ever, that oneills down in Putney is a perfect example big open space but boring even when it was full of celtic fans for those matches. The bigger issue is its all brewery owned, not many freehouses to be honest and those that are are generally dingy Irish pubs ( though I like dingy Irish pubs!!). Porterhouse is the only freehold i can think of in London thats any good.Quote:
