Home Comforts

A list of a few things you may want to pack that you will struggle to get in Bulgaria.

* Soft Toilet Roll (better than it used to be but still a bit Izal)
* Sweetners
* Spare Batteries. (You can get them but they are dear)
* Marmite (say no more)
* Strong Bin Liner to put all your dirty clothes in.
* Brown Sauce (becoming available now but not everywhere)
* Coffee - theirs can be a bit strong if you like Gold Blend

No doubt others will suggest more.

Cool

Hello Pete,

Any idea on how the missus can keep up with Coronation Street & Eastenders while out in Bansko?

The BBC & ITV iPlayers wont work outside the UK.

Have you heard of any other web sites that will stream these programmes in Bulgaria?

Just speak to my Mrs. she'll keep her up to date. Sad

Failing that there are lots of bars that have Sky which will probably show the rubbish. Wink

Arron & Mark....You seem to misunderstood my question

I asked for ideas on how 'The Missus' can keep up with the TV programmes whilst out in Bansko.

So its solutions while I'm out there.....See Pete came up with one

Any others???
