    I'm beginning to think that it's time for the TC and Thomson threads to be locked, and a new thread(s) started with FAQ's as the first post, and then start again. (over to you Centipede if you concur)

    People simply aren't reading the dedicated thread(s) of these airlines as it's/they are now too long.

    Lock it and let it slip off the bottom IMO.

    I am sympathetic to this, but there is a lot of good information in there. The main problem, in my view, is that people are just posting without reading. And to some extent that's fine - it's a free country, and all that - but the only way to do this is to show some industry and focus, which means a lot of reading. But lots of people just want it done for them (for free!) ...

    That's the issue in my view: you have to work hard to get your head round this, and no amount of forum re-engineering can change that fact.

    Blunt enough?

    It would still be readable, if locked. We would just post a link if necessary.
    I would bet that any new thread about Thomas Cook would have the car/MOT letter posted within the first 2 or 3 pages. So it wouldn't take long to build up to the same generic info.

    How rude... :rotfl:
