I hear this a lot and I really disagree. If you run a holiday type business (like a hotel) you need to make your money during the high season, when there's lots of demand or you won't be able to keep going during the low season. And if 90% of your hotel rooms are empty because you are a business that mainly attracts families and its term time, then of course you are going to lower your prices, because absolutely any money is better than the nothing you will get for an empty room.

It's exactly the same principle as whoopsies. When the demand for something lowers and its just going to go to waste you try to sell it at any price! I don't see anyone complaining that its outrageous for T's sell the same 40p pack of mince (when its not in demand) for £4 when it is in demand.

If you insisted holiday companies had to charge the same prices regardless of high/low season, the high season rates will stay the same (or get higher to compensate for the reduction in off season income), and no one will get low prices, and there will be huge waste in hotels sitting empty.

rant over!

I totally agree with what you are saying but I don't see it as them lowering their prices the rest of the year I see it as hiking them during the school holidays.
We go on alot of cottage holidays and generally pay between £600-700 a week but if you look at the six week school holiday period some of them charge up to £1100 that's nearly double and I don't think it is fair.

our local MP is cat smith, i could see if she has a surgery or as you say email her, its always worth asking.

I spoke to DD1's GP when we was at skin clinic thursday and he said he would support a move back to school however because of the extremity of her eczema ( her skin bleeds, she is perminently bandaged and often is infected) if the logistics of it became a nightmare he would write a letter supporting an appeal (he did the same for our dla aplication in fact the guys a bloody gem in a minefield. suffers fgrom the same condition so knows exactly what its like both physicly and mentally) ) because the stress of it would cause her skin to break out again. its taken over a year to get her to the stage where she will even go outside because of how her skin is so agreeing to go back to school is a huge step for her.

they just phoned and basicly told me i accept the schools offered or take it to appeal. wich i am going to have to do because i absoloutley cant get them to where they need to be for the same time or within 15 minutes of eachother from easter until october. it just wont happen, it takes me half an hr to leave the town when the tourists arrive. it just wont work. I have another option wich im not sure about if it will work.
there may be a loacal free school or 14 plus provision at the college ifthere is i could either send them to the free school or keep them home for another 2/3y and put them into the 14 plus class at the college. but why shouldnt they have the same opertunities and choices other kids have. just because our (collective, mine played a part, my husbands certainly did plus dd1's) health stopped us being a part of society. you try to do the right thing for your family and then your hit with red tape.

omg sorry i should have replied with il try that thnank you.

this is a very complicated situation. I think if you set everything out in a letter to your MP and then at the end ask for an appointment, it might need several - MPs have access to all sort of resources

around here - semi rural - some less able children get collected by taxis to go to school - not on school bus routes

In a way you have to decide which child is in the most ready state to under go the rigours of school life and who would most benefit from being back in school - the one both physically and mentally able to cope - and that's the one who will be back in school

Good morning 2 degrees today so the car isn't frozen up yay. So I'm still nice and warm in bed.
I would just like to thank everyone again for the kind donations and Bubbs for the huge parcel she sent me with items for the raffle you are all so generous.:A
Hey anyone local is more than welcome we could have a MSE table:T
I don't think I have noticed anyone else from round here apart from FC and Squigs but who knows I know Tweets isn't far but in the other direction and I'm sure you will be working, shame it's not half term.
It's two weeks today and I'm looking forward to it if not a tad nervous but the raffle prizes are pretty impressive local businesses have been very generous. I have only contacted people who I know and I think I will keep it that way to give them some publicity.
Just thought of another couple who I think may be quite close that's Emerald and Mhoc

if FC is happy to play taxi driver i am more than happy to support such a good cause and fellow cocker spaniel owner.theres a few of us on the fylde,the lovely ellie 14,heatherlea,aaarrrggghhh.i didnt realise mrsgee was also close by as well.there used to be quite a few elite in the liverpool area,always remember desperate scousewife.:)

Morning all, freezing cold here. I might even be forced to empty and clean the fire out myself and light it - or go out in the garden as I think its warmer out there.

Our internet speed slowed to a snails crawl yesterday so rather than do battle with it again today yet I thought I would make tea and see what you lot are up to

Today is supposed to be the day BT open zone work magic on our underground wires and we get our phone line back. Is anyone taking bets as to weather this will actually happen?

We are supposed to get a call back from sky tonight

It might be done today, but personally I would give it a fortnight:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Sorry, simply not a lot of respect for BT here. We spend too long cleaning up after them, I have had no formal training, although my oh has taught me a lot, and I even had to tell a BT engineer how to do his job once:eek:

it was 0.64 and now its 0.71 :j
