Well, I like you Ian :D

But it wasn't me cos I was hiding in the hills from the one-star shells, leaving the King to defend the Palace. I hope he's okay - he wasn't very well yesterday - maybe he got hit by one of those low-flying star shells :?: :cry:

She said the only other flight available was from gatwick and with that said if you can't make it we can have our money back!!!!!! I am amazed that they can get away with shoddy treatment if I had tried to cancel with two weeks notice I don't think I would have got far.

Back on topic (unusual for me I know) - the same thing happened to me once.

We were booked with Airtours for a holiday in Obergurgl flying from Gatwick and about a month before we were due to go they phoned me and said there weren't enough people booked on the Gatwick plane to make it worth their while and they were cancelling that flight and transferring all the passengers to a Manchester flight.

They offered me the choice of flying from Manchester or my money back (because it counts as a major change to the holiday details and according to their contract that meant we could have our money back).

I took the money and re-booked straightaway with First Choice who had a hotel opposite the original one and luckily for about the same price (and in fact it turned out to be a better hotel so we never lost out at all). I seem to remember they gave me time to make up my mind and check the availability of another holiday before I said I'd take the money.

So, I can understand how these things happen to travel companies but I think 2 weeks wasn't enough notice in your case because it might have been too late to buy another similar holiday. Did they give you time to choose between a refund or going from Gatwick instead of Manchester?

Well I am very glad that things are (almost) back to normal :D

Thanks very much for listening to us Admin :D :D :D


Ally

Oh no :shock:

I really HATED those stars last time. I can't stand any sort of performance testing :cry:

Well, I suppose at least I will have more spare time now ...

Ally

Best of luck everyone heading out this weekend. I hope you have a great time and make sure you tell us all about it when you get back :D

No it means he`s a thief :roll:

I don't think so - I think it means he's a Borrower :lol:

Maybe he's the Borrowers' King as well as the Wibble King :wink:

I think my avatar shows that I'm no good at computer stuff because it's hopelessly out of date :cry:

Maybe next time my grown up kids come home I'll ask them to give me a new one :-o

I appear to have damaged the ligaments. The only way I can see that having been caused was through loading clients cases into the cars. Sounds ridiculous, but apart from that theres nothing else I could have done.
I ought to sue my employer.

Oh.......

Oh dear Tony, poor you (I could really do with that violin playing picture you very kindly put up for me about my back). Have you been to see a chiropracter/osteopath/physiotherapist or someone?

I find the doctors and physios recommend heat and my osteopath cold - so I have one of those gel bags I can either heat or freeze :lol:

I am in the same position as you - self-employed. So I usually get on with it and manage somehow bad back or not :cry:

Anyway, I hope you're better soon :D
