Before I start, this is not me showing off or being a greedy twat, just wanting to offer an opportunity for a low price Caribbean holiday to fellow Stokies.
The wife and I are now living down in Barbados. We have recently moved into a new house, but we have had to go back to Bermuda for a couple of months - we arrived on Friday and will be here in Bermuda until the end of August. To that end, as our house is going to be sitting empty, I thought I could ask Stokie friends if they want to come and stay, to make use of it in our absence.
Over there a house like ours could easily cost 2000 pounds a week or more for a holiday, but we would just want to be able to cover our bills etc (electricity, gas, water, internet, phone, TV, gardener, pool man) for when people stay, so would only charge 750 pounds a week. It is a 3 bed 3 bath house, with pool and gardens, a lounge and separate TV room, and plenty of space for 4 to 6 people. It's in an upscale area, secure, with electric gates, near to many amenities, not far to the coast. We could set up taxis from the airport and know someone who can do cheap car hire. Don't forget to factor in the cost of flights - BA and Virgin fly to Barbados from the UK.
Just a thought, if anyone is interested. If you are, send me a message, with a rough idea of dates you would like to stay, and I can send you a video tour of the house to give you an idea of what it looks like.

Does the gardener or pool man do 'extras'?

That's a very generous offer one I would have taken you up on but unfortunately I've just booked another holiday so I don't have the time.

Thanks Jezza. Likewise, if you know of anyone in Barbados or Bermuda who might be interested I currently have a spare two bedroom buy-to-let terraced house on High Lane. No pool manager but there's a fantastic view of Smallthorne roundabout from the upstairs bay window. Only £550.00 a month and subject to a six monthly rolling tenancy agreement. Please make sure they factor in a £80.00 Uber from Manchester airport along with references and a 50% security deposit.

I think the proximity to Vale Park is going to put a lot of people off,it'd be like holidaying over the road from Walleys Quarry....😉 |

Does the gardener or pool man do 'extras'? Do you mean do they perform excerpts from a Ricky Gervais TV programme? I am confused..... |

I'll ask around - I am sure the glitterati of Tucker's Town and Sandy Lane will be all over this like flies on shit, so be prepared for the rush....... |

It looks lovely mate, I’m disappointed by the lack of SCFC memorabilia though……, 1. this was taken before we moved in, 2. the bookcases now have quite a few Stoke City/football related books in them, and 3. all of the real memorabilia is in my office in Bermuda (signed Mark Chamberlain photo, Gary Holmes painting of our best XI, photos of both the Vic and the Brit, framed cigarette cards of the 1972 League Cup team, a painting of the bottle kilns of my home town of Longton). |

I remember that cartoon where a big, fat, multi-millionaire stands puffing on his cigar, watching a bank robber get hauled off by the cops after a failed heist, muttering "amateur"......... |
