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.' __________________ |

I've heard many Brits complain about nearly being knocked down because the European drivers were driving on the wrong side of the road! Jay |

Great this.Very funny. I use to work for Thomson-(the holiday company over 10yrs ago now) We dealt mainly with travel agents, but we did get the odd person ringing up, a friend of mine use to keep a book of the daft questions we got. Having advised a guy there were no seats left on the aircraft- He said 'it's ok I don't mind standing'. like right? The description of the hotel said they did packed lunches for guests that were out for the day and were avalible on request. A lady rand up to say 'can I have Ham and Cheese on mine' prob loads more but can't think of em. catherine xx |
