Egalitarian Laudable Inveterate, The Elite

Just had lunch with a friend who has returned from 2 weeks cruise - starting in Jamaica , they went to Cuba, Cayman Islands, Costa Rica, Columbia, Panama Canal etc
Her husband caught Norovirus on board the ship. It seems it was already present & the food was served to you rather than you help yourself. The previous week there were a lot of sufferers.
Anyway he was locked in their cabin & had all his food brought to him. Had a injection & pills.
As Thomsons followed the correct procedure & isolated the infected people they can't complain
Norovirus is present in all ships and hotels somewhere. It rarely comes from the food but from touching a lift button or handrail that an infected person has touched.
Our cruise the toilets actually stated that after washing hands use the paper towel to open door before discarding it. Some ships police the anti back gel when you enter a place of eating but many don't.
Sad to say always use a tissue to press buttons or hold handrails and open doors.
Poor N got a nasty case from the bacon at the buffet breakfast but I will not touch a ships buffet.
Where I was in Cape Verde there was buffet meals and I can't work out why the anti back was not at the entrance..
I have a friend did thomsons from babados and loved it. He only ate at buffet but took plenty of hand gel with him. Think his insides too pickled to catch anything.
what makes me laugh no mater how I'll you are you can't see the Dr unless you pay €160. On saga ships the Dr is free.

Just because people aren't posting responses doesn't necessarily mean they are ignoring it

The same price collectors for TBG as for the APG? Neither of the price schemes have ever used msm for M prices.
Msm is irrelevant. I don't care if msm, m.com, big banners in the sky flown around repeatedly all day and any online site has £1.96 or anything else. It makes no difference. What matters is what the SELs in M instore say at the time at which the different price collectors see them and what they put into the system. As for me... I have no knowledge whatsoever of any Ariel gel at £1.96 in M:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.:o:rotfl:
Sorry, no. I have not been here all day yesterday, I saw nothing on here or on hotdeals until just now. Maybe I went to M a bit late - but in fact I went earlier than what I normally do - however I saw no £1.96 on the SELs at all. I can't even remember if there was £4 on there because, even if there was, £4 on branded washing gel is a way expensive price for me that it is an automatic immediate turn-away rejection. As one of the posters on hotdeals points out, own brands or versions in Aldi can be got cheaper.
I am completely unaware of any £1.96 Ariel gel in M and none of my M shelves have made me aware of any at all. I don't even have any price for it:rotfl:.
I think the price collectors for the APG and TBG are different ones. They have different information and pick up different things as they are likely in completely different stores from each other.
i never said apg and tbg, i said apg and msm due to their past links. in any case. i dont want any and i think due to the delay it would not be programmed in now
ps msm was showing the £1.96 earlier0 -

just *shudder* I use my sleeve to travel on escalators in shopping centres and anyone who knows me will press a lift button for meI'm also good at climbing stairs without touching rails.
I'm with LEJCthe possibility of it puts me off. I do admire you brave souls who do encounter it though and always wish you happy sick free holidays

THIS! Everyone is entiled to their opinion but there are innocent people who have did nothing getting hurt by this behaviour. Nerfy isn't a court Jester, he's a bully who uses lots of smileys and happy stories to cover up what he's doing.
if the people he doesn't like post he has a go. If they don't post he still has a go. I'm not sure what he's trying to achieve either.
Savvy Sal I am disappointed by your view but I respect that you're entitled to it. if more people challenged this sort of bullying behaviour rather than telling everyone to ignore it, it wouldn't go unchecked. That's just my opinion. How many of us would let our kids be bullied unmercilessly in this way?
I am on holiday and I won't be checking in again until I'm home. But I will be checking in again because I won't be chased off because someone doesn't like me or what I have to say. The way everyone has ignored this behaviour is shocking.
The elite I joined had our moments and our arguments but we were never bullied into a corner where we were too scared that the peace would be ruined we all turned our backs and ignored blatant bullying.
See you all next week :lovethoug
If your kids were bullied you would not attack them back .You would report it to the school.I just think that you are fueling the fire by constantly responding
To be quite honest I am getting sick to death of all the arguments on here.0
