    Made me chuckle:

    Subject: Thomas Cook customer service


    According to Thomas Cook in the UK, some holidaymakers are just never satisfied. Here are the top ten most bizarre and genuine customer complaints received by the firm in recent years:


    1 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.
    2 The beach was too sandy.
    3 I bought a snorkel and swimming mask for my six-year-old son, but he was too upset to use them as the fish frightened him.
    4 It rained on my birthday.
    5 Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women.
    6 I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts.
    7 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.
    8 We bought 'Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five euros (�3.50) from a street trader, only to find out they were fake.
    9 None of the hotel staff was English, and the tea didn't taste the same as at home.
    10 I would like to complain about the price of alcohol in the resort. It was too cheap and I woke with a hangover every day.

    Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

          I think I've met some of them too HW.

          From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

              tee hee, we used to have a book on the ships of the crazy things passengers would say my favorite
              americans; "do theese stairs go up?" err, no sir the stairs stay there however you should feel free to move up or indeed down them as you wish.
              again americans "when do arrive in paris?" bearing in mind we are on a ship.
              3 hours out of port, first lady "are we on the ship yet?" second lady "no we havnt got life jackets on,"
              Yo an' Bob
              Walk lightly on the earth
              take only what you need
              give all you can
              and your produce will be bountifull

                Where I went on holiday the sea was too salty & the sun too hot.
                The river Trent is lovely, I know because I have walked on it for 18 years.
