They also have good knowledge about UK holidays and breaks as well as day trips by coach, so loved by the local retired population for their variety, reliability and value.

It seems very popular with the older generation. Whilst the staff are very helpful they make wild suggestions (for example we wanted to go to Sorrento and out of nowhere the agent suggested we try Kefalonia, even though we had specified we did not want to go to Greece). Their website is also terrible and almost totally impossible to manouvre, which is a big shame as it would have been nice to pop into the shop with a list of deals to see what they looked like. I can't say I would really recommend this place though the staff were nice they weren't very responsive.

We are both in our 70's and vulnerable to the extreme cold (in fact it is now snowing (morning after Saturday 23rd November) The taxi driver told us that he was dispatched from a call centre in India!!

Take my advice - don't use BLUELINE TAXIS because they are unreliable and give unrealistic pick up times!!!! BEWARE.

Our last TV set tour experience was six months ago, Death In Paradise in Deshaies, Guadeloupe. It was a great place and it topped 30 degrees. Although we booked the 13:25 Emmerdale tour on - line the company put us onto their 13:00 tour, advising us the day before, by email and phone, but in the event we arrived early at the magnificent Harewood House; availed of the restrooms and we got onto the noon tour. We boarded a bus to take us to the set location so rural it can't handle many cars. The bus had rows of three and two seats. I'd never seen this before. It was a bit frustrating as it didn't leave until 12:15 then we sat on the road at the security gate near where the soap is filmed for about another 10 minutes. We got no explanation for either delay but then another tour bus came out so they are obviously tight for space. The most irritable thing was when we were stopped at security the bus driver turned off the engine as he was waiting so long. Doing that turned the air con off too so not exactly a great idea. When we eventually made it we were rushed a bit as folk were shouting last call for our tour despite most people needing the restroom after sitting on the bus for ages. We were in Seetal's company. She was delightfully informative. She sparkled with a bubbly personality. She sure is an asset to any team. I told her I still remember watching the very first episode in 1972 but didn't say that my mum was devoted Soap watcher: Coronation Street was essential viewing and embassy regal kingsize added to her enjoyment. Let me digress; the Archers had already been on the radio for 21 years starting in 1951. The BBC started the Archers to keep farmers informed of rapid changes in farming and agriculture post WW2 and to try to lessen the isolation of farmers in a rapidly changing, by then decimated world, but the UK got off relatively lightly. At least 27 million citizens of the Soviet Union died as a result of that war. Over 900,000 inhabitants of Leningrad alone died - mostly from starvation and disease - as a consequence of the besieging of that city by the German army. The Eastern Front was decisive in determining the outcome in the European Theatre of operations, eventually serving as the main reason for the defeat of Nazi Germany and the Axis nations; but more than 80 per cent of all combat during the Second World War took place on the Eastern Front. In total, the Soviet Union lost 25 per cent of its national wealth and 14 per cent of its population as a direct result of the war. It is a correct observation to make that nearly every family today in Russia was affected by the horror of the second World War. Just 16 years later Coronation Street hit the screen. It could have been Florizel Street. Bleak, gritty post WW2 Northern life with strong female characters from the labyrinth mind of Tony Warren. A mere 27 years later Kevin Laffan's Emmerdale Farm of 1972 was a whole different world to today's Emmerdale. He had been asked to write a lunch-time farm serial after government restrictions on broadcasting hours had been eased. That's how it was born and today it offers an entirely open air, impressive set tour. The inside scenes are still filmed in ITV Leeds studios after 53 years. Kevin who died in 2003, was one of 14 children; the third born. This tour is manageable without the need for a high level of fitness. All the staff are kind and they do not rush you. We didn't get into the graveyard but did get to see most places. We opted for the £20 photo deal. They give you a card that the photographer scans and we were best pleased with it. They don't rip their guests off but they sure do need to be better tuned to offering guests proper espresso based drinks. We had another advantage as the weather was very good; warm sun with a scattering of cumulus clouds. We got our photos at the end at check - out and a few other mementos and the omnipresent Seetal did that for us as well. All in all a grand day out and yes while I was sceptical about it taking three hours do set aside three hours and have fun. I say it again all the staff are charming. Delighted we did it and my wife has announced that she would like to visit again. I do hope by then they've great coffee.

The breakfast is extra 10.50 pound and the food was not quality at all. I tried to order lunch and 3 of the items on their menu they didn't even have. Finally they said they had a bacon cheese toaster. It wasn't bacon it was ham. And almost no cheese on it. Huge disappointment.
