Good vid and great tips especially with electric hook-up cables and reverse polarity - Nice one! We will be heading out to Spaim in 2 weeks. Re Phone Data, we will only need data mostly for Google maps/Sat Nav and the odd bit of watching TH-cam channels as a sort of tour guide for places we want to visit. What's your thoughts re sim cards? Would you advise getting a spannish one with data or is it just easier buying roaming data from Vodafone?
Thanks for your kind comments. Definitely purchase a Spanish SIM, check out my video mobile WiFi th-cam.com/video/sERa22RABTI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2JGHWB7CY4sou3kB Have a good trip 😊
Why have you made such an issue out of data. When I travel I use the internet daily yet have never approached 10GB. Does anybody really need that amount of data while on holiday. I really can’t believe what you’re saying about shopping in French supermarkets, it’s perfectly possible to shop without paying high prices. It makes me wonder what you were buying. Brexit has put prices for British visitors up because the exchange rate has remained far below where it was but prices in Britain have shot up recently for other reasons. Food appears cheap in Spain but that’s partly to do with their taxation system. Spanish people pay higher taxes that Britons because they don’t have a £12,000 tax allowance system and their tax bands are narrower. They have less disposable income and shop prices reflect that.
@@davidmatthews3093There have been many like for like surveys on typical grocery shopping baskets comparing different countries in Europe and even comparing Aldi and Lidl. It depends which survey you use of course but typically France comes up as being about 31% more expensive than UK. Spain comes up as roughly similar to UK. Obviously some things like wine and tobacco are typically much cheaper out of UK. I have spent many years working in the European food logistics industry and the grocery supply chain worked on grocery products in France being typically 25% more than UK so your comments do perhaps seem a little harsh on Roaming Vidlers who were only trying to give advice. Of course exchange rates fluctuate. Also 10 Gb of data is equivalent to watching just a few films on Netflix so again the comments were well made for anyone wanting to watch just a few films which is not unusual these days.
Your info on spend cap it not correct for all providers sky for instance you pay £2 a day and you can use your data texts and calls as you would at home I have unlimited data with no cap
Yes that's correct, however I have an O2 contract with my phone not Sky. May be worth checking if there is a cap on download speeds and fair usage if you are a heavy data user ie streaming Netflix etc

The polarity is a myth not a concern.

Reverse polarity AC...??
Live and neutral round the wrong way 😊
