    Not had dealings with them myself, but I would be very wary. Doesnt sound above board to me ? Im sure someone else on here would probably be able to shed more light on them.:confused:

  • You may not be suprised to learn that it is a way of trying to sell you a River Thames cruiser and access to cheap holidays. No doubt there will be catches to the 'free' holiday aswell.
