Stunning!

Take a deep breath...they live amongst us.... From Thomas Cook Holidays listing some of their UK clientèle genuine complaints. 1. "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store in Indian villages does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts." 2. "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons.I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time -- this should be banned." 3. "On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry.I don't like spicy food at all." 4. "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels." 7. "The beach was too sandy." 8. "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white." 10. "Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women." 12. "No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled." 13. "There was no egg-slicer in the apartment." 14. "We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish." 15. "The roads were uneven.." 16. "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home." 17. "I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends' three-bedroom apartment and ours was significantly smaller." 18. "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation'. We're trainee hairdressers -- will we be OK staying there?" 19. "There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners now live abroad." 20. "We had to queue outside with no air-conditioning." 21. "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel." 22. "I was bitten by a mosquito. No-one said they could bite." 23. "My fiancé and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked." They walk amongst us and they inadvertently breed!!!

Believe me we get a few people staying on our Holiday complex like that.
Many leave their brains on the Runway and act completely differently here to the way they would at home.
We have had similar types of comments on the questionnaire forms we ask holidaymakers to fill in at the end of their stay,
and a lot of tourists just don't read the welcome booklet everyone is given which gives advice and informs them of the basic rules and regulations.
I think a lack of Sun at home makes them a bit demented after experiencing so much of it for so long here!

Our last family holiday we changed rooms four times. The brochure shows the hotel on the beach. On arrival we were taken to the other side of the road. Aparantly the beach part of the hotel houses the one bedroom apartments. Ummm how nice of thomas cook to mention it in the brochure. We were then situated next to a train track where tourists and local chance there lives missing trains at stupid speeds. The operator was almost powerless. My daughter and myself sorted us a nice room in the end seeing as she is only 17 she is learning a strong worded bit of diplomacy always gets you what you want rather than ranting and raving
