In financial terms, Greeks’ decision to curtail or cancel their vacations altogether cost the local tourism industry up to 121 million euros.

Monarch holidays protection extended

Budget airline Monarch has received a temporary extension to its licence to sell package holidays.

The company also said it had secured additional funds from shareholders and was close to announcing its biggest ever investment.

The news came just ahead of a midnight deadline for the renewal of its Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) licence.

Last weekend Monarch was forced to deny "negative speculation" about its financial health.

How to see what sort of person Facebook thinks you are

It is not clear if Facebook lists everything it knows about you in the ads preferences section, or if this is just a selection of the material it has. But it is not unlikely that it knows more about us than we can easily see.

As well as watching everything its users do on its site and Instagram, the company also buys personal data about them from brokers, according to ProPublica.

The bought information includes everything from mortgage information to what car you own and your shopping habits.
