links & other software
Last, but by no means least,
we haven't forgotten those visitors who just want to have some fun... or a bit of respite from the sun and
[god forbid...] the beach!
We've therefore provided links to News & Sport sites (so visitors can see what's happening back home), Weather Update sites (so they can gloat) and more (to while away the hours)...
And lets not forget our kids sites (so that mum & dad can have a well earned break)... this is supposed to be a holiday after all!
