As the winter weather is upon us and thoughts turn to summer holidays, I wanted to share these gems with you all.
My apologies if you have read them before....
Thomas Cook Holidays - listing some of the
guest's 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."
5. A tourist at a top African game lodge over
looking a water hole, who spotted a visibly
aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this
rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate".
6. "The beach was too sandy."
7. "We found the sand was not like the sand in
the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white."
8. "Topless sunbathing on the beach should be
banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband
spent all day looking at other women."
9. "We bought 'Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five
Euros (£3.50) from a street trader, only to find out they were fake."
10. "No-one told us there would be fish in the
sea. The children were startled."
11. "There was no egg slicer in the apartment..."
12. "We went on holiday to Spain and had a
problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish..."
13. "The roads were uneven.."
14. "It took us nine hours to fly home from
Jamaica to England it only took the Americans three hours to get home."
15. "I compared the size of our one-bedroom
apartment to our friends' three-bedroom
apartment and ours was significantly smaller."
16. "The brochure states: 'No hairdressers at
the accommodation'. We are
all trainee hairdressers - will we be OK staying here?"
17. "There were too many Spanish people. The
receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners."
18. "We had to queue outside with no air conditioning."
19. "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly
guests before we travel."
20. "I was bitten by a mosquito - no-one said they could bite."
21. "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."
;D
