    For future reference Vauban, these days most Central London hotels provide transvestites on the room service menu.

    As for how you 'take' them, I'll leave that entirely to your imagination.

    I'm making a claim against Monarch & Thomas Cook. According to the poll so far, claimants against Monarch have only won 18% as opposed to claimants against TC who have won 38%. I having a wobbly moment.

    I cannot see the poll now, but I am certain it did not say that 82% of people had lost their claims against Monarch. Court success stats are currently running at about 90%. Are you sure it want that 80% of claimants have been refused compensation by Monarch - which would be v credible!

    49% are ongoing
    33% lost
    18% won

    Have I read it wrong?

    "Lost" presumably includes those claims made, refused by the airline, and the claimant walking away? Or are they in another category?

    Monarch (334 votes)
    I won - the airline just paid up 40 votes (12%)
    I won - but I had to fight (eg, appealed to the CAA/other body) 19 votes (6%)
    I lost – but I didn’t appeal to the CAA/other body 99 votes (30%)
    I lost - after appeal to the CAA/other body 12 votes (4%)
    It’s still ongoing 164 votes (49%)

    Maybe the winners haven't voted as they don't need to view the forum??????

    So of the 34% who "lost", 30% were refused by Monarch and then didn't appeal - either to the CAA or to a court. I'm surprised it's not higher to be honest, as the airline seem to refuse payment as a matter of course. 49% ongoing is v high - I wonder if that's CAA or court (the former, I suspect).

    How can I view court successes is it easy?

    Have a look at page one of the "court success" thread - I think it's about 40-odd wins to maybe four losses? (This includes where legal action is started and the airline surrenders - indeed that is most common of all, I think)
