There's a turn up for the books! by JimJ

The new prices of tickets on Sofia's public transport networks have been announced ahead of Euro Day on January 1st. Amazingly, they're all going DOWN! Admittedly, not by much but it's certainly a good start...

Streaming platforms by SimCityAT

I've come across Fawesome TV, and it is free; it is perfectly legal. It is paid for by advertisements, but if you have an ad blocker on your computer, you might skip the ads. There is even a British section.

Zooldrool

There is also the "opportunity" to pay less for the big streaming brands if you have subscriptions from countries that are a lot cheaper. Read More

Euro adoption by mikefl69

What do you think about euro adoption starting 2026?Is it going to make prices to go up?

Zooldrool

I think prices rising and migration cant be blamed on the Euro. Look at the non Euro countries. Prices and migration have risen across the EU full stop, regardless of the colour of the bank notes. Read More
