What are you doing out in Gib Pleno?
I'm looking after the interwebs. (Seriously) Are you like a Gibaltarian greekstein? Honestly mate, I'd have to kill you. And the one time we did meet you made a good impression, so I'm going to remain silent. On the other hand, if EvilPie were to enquire... Are you like a Gibraltarian Greekstein? Feel free to kill me after you've told me. I'll even save you a trip by popping over there. |

We went to near Sharm last summer. If you stay in a 5* place and just want to sunbathe and scuba, it's superb. Sharm itself was a proper dump, wouldn't stay there if you paid me.

Went to Sharm about this time last year with Hopkin + another. (Or maybe the year before??)
Absolutely lovely place spoiled to shit by the annoying f**kers trying to pull you in to their shops.
I know they are just trying to make a living but it was beyond anything I've ever known. Very hard sell and very intrusive.
That's the only reason I would never go back because other than that it was a really good holiday.
As Longines said, if you stay in your 5* hotel it's brilliant.
Also it's more a couples place than a family place from what I saw. Definitely not a place for lads on the pull.

Yep, we left the hotel complex on foot just the once - the shopkeepers saw to that.
