I would like to give a warning to people. If you are going out "on the piss" as we say in the north, PLEASE take cash and leave your credit cards and driving licences and passports at your hotel or apartment home.

Have a good time. Cheers, J

That is better than the "copy and paste" about pickpockets.

Well said, Janice. Every time I read a post about someone losing a wallet, purse, phone, I have a quick bet with myself that the location is going to be Benidorm - and I'm correct about 9.5 times out of 10!

Kind regards,

Kim

"What is life without a selfie"

Err, Life perhaps!

And if you simply MUST take your phone make sure the irreplaceable photos etc. of your kids, grand kids, wedding, holidays, whatever, are backed up somewhere and that your SIM is pin locked too not just the phone.

There is also a valid argument for having a cheap or old phone to be used when going out, firstly not attractive to thieves and secondly no real loss if it did get nicked.
