    ??? I agree i posted a message on 15/6/04 and sent e-mail and still NO reply. I did'nt see any previous posting saying he was going on holiday like you think he should - i think not very good for someone asking to give advice. >:(

    Hello all,

    Firstly-APOLOGIES!

    Whilst I love my job there's only little old me here (work from Home).

    I was told by our head Office that my mails would be 'looked after' by 3 of my collegues-they've ALL been made aware of this site & how to log-in, etc....but sadly somewhere along the line there's been a 'breakdown in communication'-to say I'm p****d off is an understatement!

    Have just got back from overseas (well-been backwards & forwards with the odd day or so at home!) & have been involved in a major project for Co-Op Travel-involving me sourcing/negotiating rates DIRECTLY with the Hotels (mainly greece but some good stuff for Turkey & Majorca) to allow 5 divisions of the Co-Op Group to use these & provide a complete package under our ATOL number-with private taxi transfers-the initial results have been FAB-& the prices are just in for July/August!

    I've helped a lot of people on the board who've had good hols or (I hope!) good advice-so again sorry if anyone feels let down.

    As it's now peak time I'm here-all stuff for this project now done. Might have the odd '2-nighter' in Corfu or Majorca but that'll be it for 2 months.

    I'll shortly be putting up my 'Gazateer ' part 3-on the state of the marketplace for the School Hols.

    The rates mentioned for Co-OP are FAB-but I can't publish them as I'd be breaking the 'no-advertising' rule.

    however-as a 'payback' if you like for my lack of availability if anyone wants to e-mail me off-board I'll send you the 'nett' rates (includes private taxi)-all you need to do is go to anyTravel web-site ( or use mine https://www.traveltomorrow.co.uk )-pick the flight-only that suits you (remember if its within 20 days it'll be about £28 pp MORE than the lead price shown for tkt collection fees, etc)-ADD to the NETT rate & we'll get you a great deal! We'd normally mark-up the accomodation 15% but I'm quite happy to just make a little on the flight bit & do the accomodation/taxi transfers at NETT for MSE posters. A taster....3*+ half-board in Rhodes Town in August-with evening meal & FULL use of facilities at a 5* next door-1 week-£195 adults, 1st child just £49 INC TAXI! Flights form £119 Glasgow-3169 gatwick, OR, a 5* Luxury Half-board Hotel in Corfu, August, adults £319, 1st child up to £16 free-flights from £149! Just add flight to accom cost. As you see-very good for August.

    Probably said too much & will be told off by the mods (!) but it's a bit of an 'olive-branch' due to the fac that we got it wrong with the forewarding of e-mails & my lack of availability!

    Will post the Gazateer tomorrow & again-apologies!

    I'm starting with a clean slate so my PM box is now cleared-so if anyone wants advice/help-please re-post or e-mail me-I'll be back to you pronto. If I'm going to be off (days off, etc..) will post on site.

    Look forward to giving help/advice & chatting to you.

    Kind regards,

    Chris aka TRAVELMAN!

    Hi!

    Certainly is my site (the picture though is not me-don't know where he came from-I'm far better looking (!) )-sorry you've struggled with phones-to be honest they've been on divert until very recently.

    Let me know the duration, board basis & approx. budget pp for the different boards & anywhere you WOULD NOT go to. Also-are night flights ok? !st 7 last dates to go would be great!

    I'm officially (!) off today-back on Tuesday but am here as SO Much to tidy up-reply on the board & I'll do my best!

    Remember-many deals are not on the web-site as they'e 'tailor-made.'

    please also see my reply on the post 'information we need to get you a good deal' as to why I've been off!

    As soon as I have your info will act on it & post best deal poss.

    Kind regards,

    Chris
