Complaints...
The Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) has published some of
the more bizarre complaints received from Britons holidaying abroad:
'No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were
startled.'
'We had to queue outside with no air conditioning.'
'It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly
guests before we travel.'
'I was bitten by a mosquito; no-one said they could bite.'
'We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to
bring our swimming costumes and towels.'
'We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your
brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white.'
'It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only
took the Americans three hours to get home.'
'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.'
'I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends'
three-bedroom apartment and ours was significantly smaller.'
'The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation'. We're
trainee hairdressers will we be OK staying here?'
And finally, from a holidaymaker in Spain : 'There are too many
Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish.
Too many foreigners.'
