    I totally agree, what's wrong with these promoters that offer family holidays that exclude school holidays :mad:
  • Apparently if enough people sign an email the government have to debate it... so lets start a petition where its against the law to offer a family holiday that excludes school holiday times

    Well, it does..... sort of..... "mid-week or weekend"

    But I agree with you. It is unfair that they offer these "family" holidays as prizes but the winner can't take them during the holidays.
    Thanks to all posters :A
