I read an article that said, in the UK spending with a multinational means only 45p in the £ stays in the local economy, where as with a local independent business around 65p in the £ stays in the local economy. This fact helps motivate me to make the effort to use independent businesses where ever I can. I hope the Facebook group is a success. #GoingGreenLinkyLittle Green Duckiehttp://www.littlegreenduckie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-68283894437958197662018-05-08T00:49:54.379+02:002018-05-08T00:49:54.379+02:00Such a great ideaSuch a great ideaJo-Anne's Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418152399382818709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-43175899312662603232018-05-07T14:17:25.407+02:002018-05-07T14:17:25.407+02:00We use booking dot com when booking accommodation,...We use booking dot com when booking accommodation, mainly because we can claim airmails and because often when using search engines it's difficult to know whether they have good reviews or not. Using a booking agency gives us peace of mind and has in the past resolved issues when I arrived in Cape Town alone on one occasion they claimed not to have my booking and I was stranded at 9pm. Booking dot com sorted it out for me and found me a new hotel and ordered a taxi to take me there. However we often stay in the same places for repeat visits and then we will book directly with the owners. I like the idea though of the facebook book page and it is something i would consider using next time we go somewhere new. #goinggreenchickenrubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05731936852696584642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-82522156002949175752018-05-07T10:51:56.462+02:002018-05-07T10:51:56.462+02:00Great post Rosie.
