Fellow MSE posters-GET REAL! The reason why Agents are not bothering on here is posts Like this-surely a joke? 4* 14 nights £250....Are you MAD!
Looking back over the posts the past day-since I asked people to label the quotes either 'quote me a holiday' or beat my quote-I'm ready to book!' ...Many people have not bothered to put this title.How many old posts have been edited to say 'holiday booked'.
Again-important thins missed of-total price given but not told if transfers/flight meals included?
A separate thread is needed for those who are serious about beating a quote & booking striaght away.
I for noe think this thread in it's current format is a waste of time. What do others think?0 -
I agree..one poster adding a quote of 3k in one thread then 2900 in another. If no one as a proper realistic price they (well I wont) bother or even trying and I fell its not different to the other bid4myholiday site thats about but at least the board owner there earns money. I hate to say it but I think Martin and the other admin/mods have wasted thier time with this threadIf you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel0

Desperate to Book!!!!
Looking for a holiday in August, need to fly on Saturday 11th, for a week, from any of the following airports: Manchester, Leeds/Bradford or Doncaster.
We are happy to go to any Med destination with the exception of Turkey. There are 2 adults and one child who is 6. We would prefer day time flights if possible.
Any help you could give would be great, we've currently seen Balearics for about £1000 self catering, including tranfers and meals, but with it only being three weeks off wondered if there was anything else about.Challenges - repay all credit cards by end of 2015Starting the savings for retirement :rotfl:

This is painful to say:p but i also agree:T and its one of the reasons that i havent been on here helping out much recently.Something definetly needs to be done to improve this as its going nowhere fast.
People who are posting stupid requests(like the above by Roger5269) are just wasting there own time as no-one in the right mind is going to reply."Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."0
