From Thomas Cook Holidays - listing some guests' genuine complaints during the season .............. 1. "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store 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 only took the Americans 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." |
Utterly ridiculous! But I quite believe it, some people say the stupidest things 
This can't be true. These kind of people infuriate me

a double bedded room - they were very lucky we always found ourselves rearranging and pushing the twins together 
my Brother a born moaner complained after his first and only Spanish holiday at the lack of roast beef and yorkshire pud
Many years ago before we were married we went to Greece on holiday. We went to a restaurant and ordered fried chicken - Mr Woo got a rib cage fried in batter and I got a fried chicken neck - we complained and were told 'the chickens are like that here'

We heard people moaning in Turkey that there was no bacon or sausages for breakfast. People go away to a different country and want them to serve british food.

Yes and why would you expect bacon in a (mostly) muslim country?
When you go abroad, you just can't expect it to be like here

I know, which is why I love going away I don't try a lot of the local food but I do like to try things that the chef has gone to the trouble to make for his guests.
I want to go away now

Me too
I've got a long weekend in France at Easter but that's it so far. Just as well I suppose as nine of my holiday gear fits anymore
That's the excuse you need to go buy some nice new stuff though sooz
We're not going away til June but I'm really excited. It's a bit sad that I get so excited for my holidays but we can only afford to go away once a year so I look forward to it from one summer to the next!
Although because both me and the OH turn 30 this year we have said we will treat ourselves to a few days away in October without the kids for the first time ever 
I really hope we get to do that.
Lil Aims was moaning yesterday the chips in Gambia tasted too much like potatoes
I do love number 18 - the hairdresser one - I keep having a little chuckle to myself.
