Thomas Cook Holiday complaints
"I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store doesnot sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."
"It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I oftenneeded to buy things during 'siesta' time - this should be banned."
"On my holiday to Goa in India , I was disgusted to find that almost everyrestaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food at all."
"We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bringour swimming costumes and towels."
A tourist at a top African game lodge overlooking a waterhole, who spotted avisibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this rampant beastruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate".
A woman threatened to call police after claiming that she'd been locked inby staff. When in fact, she had mistaken the "do not disturb" sign on theback of the door as a warning to remain in the room.
"The beach was too sandy."
"We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochureshows the sand as yellow but it was white."
A guest at a Novotel in Australia complained his soup was too thick andstrong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time.
"Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined asmy husband spent all day looking at other women."
"We bought 'Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five Euros (£3.50) from a street trader,only to find out they were fake."
"No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled."
"It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only took theAmericans three hours to get home."
"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 traineehairdressers - will we be OK staying here?"
"There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. Thefood is Spanish. Too many foreigners."
"We had to queue outside with no air conditioning."
"It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guestsbefore we travel."
"I was bitten by a mosquito - no-one said they could bite."
"My fiancé and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in adouble-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I findmyself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the roomthat we booked

These are the snippets of information that I miss from the Nightshift Newsreels. Thanks for taking the time to put them on here Vivienne.
Love those, Vivienne, hope you don't mind if I pinch them!
As Sid says, we miss those little snippets and jokes. Maybe we could start putting them on here if Murphy and Dora don't mind?
Forgot to tick!!!
Hi Folks!
Glad you called in, and pinch away Maureen! It's been a bit quiet here and I was debating whether I should keep the blog going. You've answered my question Sid and Maureen!!!
Sid, I'm sorry I lost an email I tried to send you a couple of weeks or so ago. Many thanks for your very kind offer to call in on my travels. I'd love to see you again and meet your family, and also view your new caravan. Sorry I've taken so long to reply. You must think I don't care, but I do. I value all my Truckshunter friends very much. I've been very tired recently, and haven't been able to keep up with my emails etc. Sorry! However, you have all been in my thoughts every day, and I have kept reading the blogs.
I hope you are still hanging onto your job, Maureen. The fear of redundancy is really worrying.
Lots of love, Vivienne xxx
I'm afraid that I've joined the ranks of the unemployed again Vivienne. But at least I'm getting good weather and I might be able to get to some shunts. So it's not all bad!
Where on earth has Ian got himself to? I hope that he's ok ...
Hi Maureen,
I'm sorry you've lost your job again, but as you say you can get out and enjoy this lovely weather. Perhaps you may decide to visit Gibside? I'm working at Renwick's Bookshop this Sunday as well as my usual Tuesdays. I think that the monthly Farmers' Market is on this Saturday. There's free entry to the market, but you have to pay to access the grounds, Chapel, Stables etc.
I've just been watching the News updates about Michael Jackson, (so sad) but I'm off to bed now.
Don't think that I'll get there this weekend Vivienne but it's definitely on our list for sometime in the summer.
Yes it's a shame about Michael Jackson, he seemed to live a sad life didn't he?
Venice...
Nine centuries of male monopoly on the canals of Venice came to an end on Friday when Giorgia Boscolo became the first woman to pass the gruelling test to become a trainee gondolier.
Berlin...
A Polish couple living in Germany fell out after tying the knot, and decided to end their marriage there and then. The police were called to maintain order, the groom spent the night in a hostel for homeless people.
And finally...
Doctor, doctor, Every time I stand up quickley I see Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy.
Hmm, says the doctor, just how long have you been having these Disney spells. (groan).
Hi Sid,
Keep them coming. They're great!
Thanks,
Lots of love,
Vivienne xxx
