Webcam - it’s on the clock tower up above town. I’ve just today noticed that we have a link at the top of the page. I hope Woody (site Admin) only just put it there or I’ll look a proper wally for not noticing before! Nope Dennis, it's been there quite a while! Around the time it got working again.

Well Dennis the geriatric parents are paying for the holiday and the car, so I'm keeping my skint mouth shut on that 😂 I have informed all about this speedy boat from kouk that none of us were aware of, so it may be worth going down there just for that. Also my friends Claire and Darrell who used to live and work on the island have said a few of their friends are already out there so us brits shouldn't have a problem. Which is comforting. How many Yorkshire folk are on here, there seems to be quite a lot... We are Calderdale so another to add to the list.
Is there a Facebook page? That is my main posting page really, and pics go on fb without any problems.

I'm in Huddy, and work just over the hill in the Colne Valley.

No, there’s no Facebook page. (Some of) Those of us here who post on FB, look down our noses at it, because it’s all higgledy piggledy with no structure, meaning that finding anything there is a nightmare. Whereas on here we have pages/topics which stay put and can be both searched and posted on. Just compare and explore the index pages and you’ll see what I mean. The Facebook method is hopeless, different people start a new question of the SAME question every other day, it’s a joke - how many times has somebody asked for temperatures in the last week of July? For comments/recommendations on a particular hotel, studio, taverna, cocktail bar and is the rose man still there? Every one of the questions has been asked very much within a couple of weeks. And the number of times somebody has opened a NEW subject of TUI in the last three months must be approaching the number of people who are members of Facebook. Virus commentators, prophets, **with doctors**[/color] and scientists are equally numerous. Multiply both by the number of FB Groups for Skiathos and it’s a joke! It’s a source of satisfaction that photos take quite some effort to load here, unlike FB, which has some nice photos, but millions of nothing else!
I did a video of the Fast Boat from Koukounaries (jetty at the far end, not the harbour end). We reckon it’s as good a way to spend 5 euros as any.
EDIT ** witch doctors **[/font]

I last lived in Rothwell nearly 63 years ago. But I’m still a Tyke.

Another reason is that information gets lost with time at Facebook. If you post, or if someone else posts, an interesting, useful and informative answer to a question, and someone asks the same question later (a week, a month, a year), it's very difficult indeed to find the answer that you know is there. At these forums it's relatively easy.

So basically Noone actually bothers to read previous fb posts. That seems to be a constant across most fb groups unfortunately. Shame really.

I was actually surprised to see Mr roses last Yr. I thought he'd be long gone, he's been old for as long as we've been going, which says something.

Isn’t “Mr Roses” an alias for Dr Who, Time Lord?

I’ve never seen him, only FB pictures - I’m not a clubby person. We eat early evening, locally in Troulos.

We always like seeing ‘Mr Rosa‘ and for the last 2 years it was about night no. 8 or 9 before we spotted him, grant it we’re not in town every night. We thought he had retired up until the point we spotted him. I got a rose one year and at the end of the holiday I put it in my holiday book for the journey home. When I eventually found it months later, it was mouldy, pages of book ruined & certainly didn’t look like the beautiful specimen I had hoped for 😂

You always heard him before you saw him.. "floweeeeeeee, rrrrrrroses" 🤣 always in town, either up the cobbled steps where the spit was, or down in the bars. He always had this creepy grin going on too. Never wanted a rose off him 😐
