    Funny you should mention that, but I told a friend who worksat a Tour Operator, and she replied to a couple of people who posted quite complex itineraries. She said she saved one person £400, and another an entire day travelling, but didn't receive a thank you, or even a response saying they had booked elsewhere.

    Needless to say she won't be bothering again!

    And that seems to be the general attitude of a lot of people who post on the thread.
  • Wow I'm surprised that people are so ungratefull. You could at least paypal over some change or even send them something to say thankyou.

    " I'll be doing exactly that should anyone help me out"

    It's the sign of the times we live in were people expect everthing for nothing

    Ps. The reason why people dont post results is because on the 1st page it states that you should communicate via pm's
