  • Del didnt post any replies as all replies have to be done by pm and not on the board.Did you check your pm box?

    yes i checked my pm but didnt get anything. I noticed he also replies to particular posts to say that he has sent a pm which he didnt do for my post.

    It would be useful to have some indication as to whether he has read it, responded to it etc.

  • Hi Del, appreciate that you are taking up time to look into these on our behalf but it would be useful if you could reply when you say you will, even if it is just to say that you can't beat it. For example you said that you would get back to everyone, myself included, by 8pm on 20th and from what I can see you didnt post any replies at all.

    As it turns out we were ready to book a holiday and gave you an opportunity to beat a quote that we had from Thomson. As we did not hear back from you we made a booking. I accept that you might not have been able to beat our quote but perhaps you could PM people to say that you can't beat their quotes, then this saves us all time checking back on this page? Just a friendly suggestion.

    Cheers
    Rob

    Agreed I spent far too much time checking this thread after I posted (I too was in a position to book) and didn't hear anything back, little bit frustrating when people posting before and after were getting replies, even if it was to be told that the quote couldn't be beaten.

    Cheers
